Dürr Ecoclean water jetting system enables up to 80% reduction in water jet pressure for engine cylinder bore activation

Green Car Congress

High-pressure water jetting at pressures of up to 3000 bar (45,500 psi) is becoming increasingly widespread as a method of activating the cylinder bore surfaces of engine blocks prior to thermal coating. High-pressure water jetting as employed in today’s activation processes uses pressures of at least 2500 bar.
