Caution
High inlet pressures or surges exceeding the maxi
mum allowable may result in damage to the
tensioner.
2.4.6 The coolant supply and discharge hose, pipe and
fitting sizes, along with minimum flow rates for the
tensioner rated horsepower, are listed in Table 8.
2.4.7 Coolant supply connections to the tensioner should
provide a parallel flow through each section of the
tensioner.
Warning
Series flow is not recommended as it can lead to
overheating of the tensioner.
2.4.8 Inlet and outlet coolant manifolds must be provided
by the customer. Manifolds should be constructed
to allow for even flow through all ports. Hoses can
be routed to the pressure plate (116), reaction plates
(30) and end plate (117) to assist with balancing the
pressure drop.
2.4.9 Inlet and outlet coolant manifolds and hoses must be
sized to handle the maximum flow for each size
tensioner per Table 8.
Caution
Do not plug any ports or plumb the cooling passages
in series. Parallel arrangement of hoses similar to that
shown in Figure 5 is required for proper coolant flow.
2.4.10 The number of flexible hoses required for both the
inlet and outlet ports of each size tensioner is given in
Table 9.
