Working principle of electric high pressure washer
An electric high pressure washer uses an electric motor to power a pump, which pressurizes water from a connected water source. The pressurized water is then released through a nozzle at a high speed to clean surfaces.
The electric motor drives the pump, which typically has a piston or plunger that moves back and forth to increase and decrease pressure. Water is drawn in through an intake valve, and then the pump pressurizes the water and sends it through a high-pressure hose.
The high-pressure hose is typically made of reinforced rubber or a braided steel mesh to withstand the high pressure. The hose is connected to a trigger gun, which has a nozzle that can be adjusted to change the spray pattern and pressure.
When the trigger is pulled, water is released at high pressure through the nozzle, which creates a powerful jet of water that can be used to clean a variety of surfaces, including driveways, decks, and vehicles.
Most electric high pressure washers also come with features like adjustable pressure, detergent injection, and interchangeable nozzles to provide users with greater control over the cleaning process.
