Applications of High-Pressure Systems
High-pressure fluid has been applied in various applications. It mainly uses a high pressure pump to convert the mechanical energy of a power source to high pressure fluid energy through a serial mechanical action. Combine the use of different types and designed nozzles, the use of high-pressure hydraulic can be extensive.
The work of a high pressure hydraulic system is to transport fluid from one place to another by pressure. This system includes various types of machinery, devices, and logic controlling framework, mostly designed and made for particular use and purposes. A high pressure hydraulic system must include, yet not limited to, a high pressure pump, power source, driving mechanical structure, pressure control unit, logic controlling unit, supporting rack or case, tubing, electric wiring, and other safety devices, etc.
High-pressure hydraulics can be used for fluid misting, washing, laser cutting, and transporting fluid, etc. For example, on a construction site, the high-pressure fluid can be used to clean or remove cement, wall bricks and paint; in chemical industry, it can be used for cleaning up heat exchange condenser Tubes; others like vessel cleaning, aircrafts cleaning, train cleaning, tunnel car washing, airport runway cleaning, greenhouse cooling and disinfecting, bridge and pier rust removing, nonwoven spun lacing, electronic component production in-process cleaning, deep well or oil well hydraulic drilling, and urban sewing tunnel cleaning, etc. With additional logic circuit design and electronic controllers, they also can be used in fields of steel, pulp and paper, circuit board, and other high-tech industry manufacturing.

Application
-
Cleaning and Cooling in machining process
In the process of machining, using hydraulic to apply coolant to cutting tools or grinders will not only wash away the cutting scraps but also cool down the working temperature to protect cutting tools and grinders. High pressure fluid can also be used to wash finished products and clean up equipment after use.
With the use of spray nozzles at correct lineup, positioning, and angles, plus a PLC-based control system, the high-pressure fluid can also be used throughout the machining process to wash away lubricate, and grinding or cutting additives. -
Tunnel-type car wash
With the use of high pressure spray nozzles at correct lineup, positioning, and angles, plus a PLC-based control system, the high-pressure water can be used in washing away the built-up dirt, bird droppings, and tar stuck on the vehicles. -
Sea water Reverse Osmosis purification
A high pressure pump is used to push sea water through multi-layer of membranes to remove salt, unwanted particles, and bacteria, etc. The common use is in sea water desalination or sewage purification reverse osmosis system.
-
Pipe Testing
A high pressure pump is used to fill hydraulic fluid inside of a pipeline. The pressure is built to a testing point by filling up fluid, and once the pressure reaches the testing point, inlet will be closed to monitor the pressure change inside of the pipeline. If pressure is found gradually dropped, there is at least one flaw in the pipeline. This test is mostly conducted to guarantee the perfection of buried high pressure pipelines. -
Debarking
A high pressure pump can be used to apply high pressure fluid onto trees to remove barks or coating on woods.
No chemical or heat for softening are required and no peeling tool is needed. -
Deburring
During the process of machining, casting, and forging, etc., strong hydraulic fluid can be used to remove the burr on cut edge or joint lines on the produced objects.
-
Wet Sand Blast
When the high-pressure fluid goes through a designed nozzle, it creates a vacuum and draw the sand from a container to go along, and becoming a wet sand blast.
This wet sand blast is ideal to work on objects in complicate forms, without concern of making damage to the object and flying sand particles, to remove the burr and clean up unwanted adherents on the objects. -
Salt Water Injection into oil well
A high pressure pump is used to pump hydraulic fluid into oil well to force oil to surface.
After going through an oil-water separation process, the waste water is injected back to rock layers to fill up the cavity left by oil to prevent collapsing. -
Condenser Tube Cleaning
Heat exchanger is a system to transfer the heatenergy between hot fluid and cold fluid, to meet the demand in manufacturing orenvironment.
It is used for both heat exchange and heat transfer in industrialapplications, commonly seen in chemical plants, refrigeration, and airconditioning, etc. But when calcium carbonate deposit starts to be built upinside the condenser tubes, the efficiency of heat exchanger will be severelyreduced.
A popular way to clean up these deposit is by using high-pressurefluid pushed through special designed spray gun and nozzle to wash away suchdeposit and restore the system efficiency back to origin.
-
Heavy Equipment Wash
Construction equipment, such as digging machinery, shoveling and transporting machinery, compressing machinery, are all heavy equipment.
After working a long period of time in environments full of sticky dirt and dust, it requires heavy duty high pressure washers to peel off and wash away those piled up sticky objects. -
Tank & Tote Cleaning
Barrels, tanks, Buckets, or large bags are often used for solid or liquid storage in chemical or food industries. During frequent and continuous long-time use, the leftover of previous object may contaminate next object if the container is not cleaned well in transitions.
A popular way to clean these containers is by a high pressure washing facility along with special designed nozzles, ex. 360 degree rotating nozzle, to thoroughly and effectively wash and clean these containers to ensure cleanness for next use. -
Moss and Mold Removing
On the walls of buildings, floors, and wooden boards, moss and mold often grow in a shadowed and humid environment. These moss and mold not only pollute the environment but also bring disease to human body.
A high pressure washer is a great tool to remove and wash away these moss and mold efficiently in a large area without making any damage to the surfaces.
-
Sewage Cleaning
The large scale of urban underground sewage system used for water draining, food leftover, human waste, and waste fluid could be clogged from years of heavy works.
As most sewage system does not have large pipes to accept large cleaning device, the best way is to use high flow rate of high pressure pump and lance nozzle to unclog the blockage and to flush the blockage to designated point for removal. -
Oil Paint Removing
Removing high adherent paint from various equipment and buildings during servicing, maintaining, repairing, and refurbishing are often proved challenging.
Using chemical solvent could be harmful to human health and environment, using sand blast is good only for small area, and using scraping tools is time consuming.
Nowadays the popular way is to use high pressure or ultra-high pressure spray in straight jet or fan spray to remove the paint, which is more environment friendly and no harm to human health.
