Ultra-High Pressure Pump
The Ultra-High Pressure pump (UHP) is a positive
displacement pump that requires a constant water
supply from the charge water pump at a minimum
of 30 PSI (2.1 BAR) to operate properly and pre-
vent cavitation. The operator must monitor the
charge water pressure closely and immediately
shutdown the water blasting system if the charge
water pressure drops below 30 psi (2.1 BAR) to
protect the charge water pump from running dry
and protect the UHP pump from damage due to
overheating and cavitation.
The UHP pump is powered by the skid auxiliary
engine thru a direct drive reduction gear on the
engine. Since the pump is direct drive, it begins
turning as soon as the engine starts. (Refer to
the Startup Procedure in the operation section of
this manual). Maximum operating pressure for the
Ultra-High Pressure pump is 40,000 psi (2,758
bar). Pressure is monitored by the manual high
pressure gauge on the Ultra-High Pressure pump
manifold and a digital gauge on the switch panel
in the cab of the truck.
