Description
PSI Hydraulic Power Units (HPU) provide the power to actuate hydraulically operated screen changers and divert valves. Depending on the functional demand, HPUs are provided with pressure accumulators for a rapid change, or without an accumulator when a steady flow of pressure suffices to operate the system. A single HPU can be arranged to operate multiple devices, either hard plumbed or with quick-disconnects. HPUs are designed to operate with petroleum-based fluids and can optionally run water glycol.
Specifications
| Hydraulic fluid | AW-32 or equivalent |
| Viscosity index | 90+ |
| Relief pressure | 3,000 PSI |
| Operating temp. (max.) | 120°F [49°C] |
| Pump type | Gear |
| Accumulator style HPU: |
| Pressure switch | 2,700 PSI |
| Accumulator pre-charge | 1,400 PSI* |
| * HPUs with accumulators shipped by air freight have zero pre-charge. In these cases, the customer is responsible for charging the accumulator to the required pre-charge pressure before starting the system. |
