About Pressure Intensifiers
Pressure intensifiers are used to increase the pressure of hydraulic or pneumatic fluids in pressurized systems. They circulate fluid through chambers to achieve a desired pressure, usually between 50,000 psi and 100,000 psi. Pressure intensifiers consist of cylinders of different diameters with pistons that are connected by a rod. In double piston-cylinder devices, fluid is pumped into the larger cylinder and then expelled from the smaller cylinder at a higher pressure. To maximize efficiency, the larger piston is fitted with an o-ring. The smaller piston is lapped to a close fit. Typically, pressure intensifiers that produce higher pressures are built with heavier cylinders and pistons. Some pressure intensifiers are driven by an electric motor. Others are driven by a pressurized fluid or gas. Though not designed with high volumetric capacities, pressure intensifiers provide a simple and economical way to raise fluid pressures.
