Low-pressure water system
The low-pressure water system includes the inlet cutting water. In water-cooled systems it also includes a cooling water
loop and a heat exchanger.
Inlet cutting water
Inlet cutting water (CUTTING WATER IN) from a water softener or a reverse osmosis system flows through 2 water filters
to remove contaminants. Water pressure gauges show the water pressure before and after water goes through the filters.
A low-pressure water switch after the filters tells the programmable controller if the water pressure is higher than the
minimum required. Filtered water collects in the accumulator, which equalizes the water pressure. The water enters the
high-pressure ends in the intensifier where it is compressed to make high-pressure water for cutting or piercing
(CUTTING WATER OUT).
