Hydraulic Intensifiers

Hydraulic intensifier are intended to provide high pressure from a low-pressure hydraulic power source. The hydraulic intensifier consumes less energy while converting fluid energies to higher output pressures. When performing this action, the laws of thermodynamics remain unchanged. In fact, an intensifier already has a hydraulic architecture.

Hydraulic intensifiers are also referred to as hydraulic boosters. Their operation is powered by a pump that draws power from a low-pressure hydraulic power source. The pump operation is set at a specific pressure, and the intensifier generates an increased output pressure as a result. Their application is common in hydraulic power packs.

The intensifiers are designed to be compact and easy to install. In-line models that fit industry standard pipe clamps, CETOP models, flange-on models, and cartridge type intensifiers are all available. Despite their small size, they include all of the necessary high-pressure check valves.

There are various hydraulic intensifier models that can be used for flows ranging from 0.3 gpm to 21 gpm. They can be used in very high flow systems if they are built into a bypass. They are commonly used in systems that generate end pressures ranging from 1,000 to 7,300 psi. Some models have the ability to increase end pressures between 20,000 and 60,000 psi.


There is a low system inlet pressure present. The powered pump remains operational, and the differential piston design follows its instructions. This appears to be a complex configuration. The hydraulic intensifiers, however, are loaded within self-contained cylinders that can be installed on existing or new mobile excavators. The circuit layout of the compact cylinder suggests in-line use. As a result, minimal installation skills are required. Furthermore, because this design is logically expanded, it should have standard pipe clamps and fittings during the installation phase.


Flexible Fluid Force Enhancers Using Hydraulic Intensifiers

If an in-line model is not suitable for a particular circuit-enhancing application, these pressure-boosting components can be used in other common forms such as CETOP (European fluid transmission committee) compatible models and flange-on variants. In addition, to simplify the system by dividing it into compartments and creating a self-contained expanded pressure architecture. Intensifiers are commonly found on excavators and mini diggers with limited ability for fluid actuation assemblies and complex valves. It works in tandem with a Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) or a capable fluid power pack to ensure that pressure is kept low throughout the hydraulic network while generating high-pressure throughput wherever it is needed.

Hydraulic intensifiers assist in increasing circuit pressure, but only where needed and not throughout the entire system. As a result, the input pressure is low, and the system is under less stress. Because they are installed as a single force developing package, they improve the design and performance of a hydraulic system.
