Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)
Get More from Your Process
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. |
