Pressure intensifier<br />

The <strong>Grundfos</strong> pressure intensifier automatically creates a pressure that is 2 bar higher than<br />

the pump medium pressure, independent of the specific pump medium pressure.<br />

The system maintains the overpressure automatically until it is empty. The intensifier requires<br />

a discontinuous working cycle, as it has to be refilled.<br />

The barrier fluid inlet must be fitted with a non-return valve to avoid back pressure to the<br />

BAR<br />

source. See. fig.2.5.<br />
