When using a small high-pressure washer for high-pressure water jet cleaning, it’s often necessary to adjust the pressure. So, how do you scientifically determine the appropriate operating pressure? The following explains.
A common misconception with small high-pressure washers is that higher pressure is better. Consequently, users often mistakenly increase the pressure, which is not always the case. Higher pressure places greater strain on the components of the high-pressure washer, increasing the requirements for component quality and sealing, ultimately leading to increased costs. Therefore, the higher the pressure, the more appropriate it is for high-pressure water jet cleaning.
Furthermore, excessive pressure can cause water to splash when the jet hits the surface, counteracting the water pressure and potentially causing the water to atomize, reducing cleaning efficiency and resulting in suboptimal results.
In summary, the required pressure for high-pressure water jet cleaning with a small high-pressure washer should be determined based on the specific requirements of the job, the nature of the dirt on the surface, and the degree of dirt removal. Only then can a scientifically and rationally determined pressure be achieved.
