ABSTRACT<br />

With recent development of practicability of the water jet in various industries,<br />

advantages are being recognized in its special processing method. Particularly, it is most<br />

used for cutting of non-metallic materials and detergent operation, using its water<br />

hammer power and chemical solubility. Diversification in the range of applicability is<br />

requiring various specifications of high presure pump as a source of water jet. In cutting<br />

and detergency, it is necessary to control water jet pressure according to the object<br />

material in view of economy and efficiency. High operational efficiency is demanded of a<br />

pump by obtaining a delivery volume corresponding to the change of water jet flow. For<br />

these objectives, we have elaborated the development of a variable delivery triple<br />

reciprocating plunger pump, and, based on its design, succeeded in the manufacture of a<br />

high pressure pump. This report provides explanation of its structure and analysis of the<br />

results of tests. As a consequence, its high efficiency and small pulsation of water jet has<br />

assured the possibility of application in a number of industrial areas.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

An injection of high pressure water from a minute nozzle produces high density of<br />

energy increasingly utilized for new processing techniques in many industries. A waterjet<br />

of relatively low pressure and large flow is widely used in detergency. An efficient<br />

application represents the important station of an automobile assembly line to remove<br />

residual powder on mechanically processed engines and transmissions. Also in a chemical<br />

plant, a water jet is used for detergency of a polymer tank to assure safety of workers<br />
