Pump Intensifier Operation

How Hydraulically Driven Intensifiers Work

Process fluid flows through the inlet check valve and fills the process fluid cylinder.

Pressurized hydraulic fluid acting on the hydraulic piston strokes the piston assembly to the right. Process fluid in the right cylinder is forced through the discharge check valve. At the same time, fluid flows through the inlet check valve on the left cylinder filling this cylinder.

At the end of this stroke, the four-way valve changes position and directs pressurized hydraulic fluid to the right side of the hydraulic piston. The piston assembly moves to the left, discharging fluid from the left cylinder.

The piston assembly reverses direction automatically and the cycle repeats.
