How Pressure Washer Running?
The key component of any pressure washer is the engine ( or electric motor for an electric pressure washer) that powers the pumping system. For the pumps to function properly, they need a water supply, usually provided by a garden hose. Before the water is pressurized, it flows into an internal water tank or can flow straight to the pump.
When the motor running, the pistons move down, they draw water through the inlet valves into the piston chambers. When the pistons move back up, they force the water out of the piston chambers and through the outlet valves to the injector.
A cleaning agent can be added to the injector if needed. The water then flows out of the pump to the high-pressure gun.
Below is a simulation of the working process of an electric pressure washer. These machines are usually lighter and more compact than gas pressure washers. However, the structure has some big differences in that use an electric motor instead of gasoline, and the pump is also an electric pump.
In operation, all of this happens extremely quickly. Once the pressure washer is turned on, the trigger on the gun can be pressed immediately to start cleaning. Some pressure washer shown here has an LED display on the trigger gun showing the selected pressure level and suggested use, making it easy to choose the right setting for any task.
Aside from its outstanding cleaning power, a pressure washer also conserves water. While a garden hose uses around 3,500 liters of water per hour, a pressure washer only uses 400 to 600 liters. This water-saving is increased because the high pressure allows cleaning to be completed faster.
