10 Recirculation
System
The recirculation system keeps the hydraulic oil at operating
temperature while using the minimum amount of cooling water flow. The
system also provides the necessary oil conditioning and filtration to
maintain oil cleanliness. The conditioning of the hydraulic oil includes
cooling it, cleaning it, and together with the hydraulic tank, removing air
bubbles entrained in the oil due to agitation and turbulent flow in the
main pump circuit.
10.1 Components
The cooling and filtration system (recirculation system)
is equipped with
the following:
•
Recirculation pump
(gear-type)–which receives oil from the oil tank
•
Heat exchanger
- cooling water is controlled by the water modulating
valve
Note: Some pumps have no heat exchanger mounted on the reservoir.
Instead, the cutting box/table OEM provides a separate heat exchanger.
Whether mounted on the pump or separate, the gear pump supplies oil
flow to the heat exchanger, then to the oil filter.
•
Oil filter assembly
- includes a gage to show the filter element
condition. It also includes a bypass or relief valve, should the filter
element be allowed to become entirely clogged with
dirt/contaminants.
10.2 Operation
The recirculation pump (1) takes oil from the tank (6) and pumps it to
the oil to water heat exchanger (3), then to the oil filter (5) and back to
the tank.
The pressure gage (4) indicates when the filter element needs
replacement. It should be read when both the water jet pump is running
and the oil temperature is approximately 115
°
F. Failure to properly
service the filter will result in hydraulic oil bypassing the filter element,
and in excessive component wear. The oil fill port must be used when
pumping oil into tank to assure cleanliness. By filling at this point, the
hydraulic oil must pass through the hydraulic filter to get to the
hydraulic tank, guaranteeing that the oil into the tank gets at least one
pass through a good filter.
