For currents beyond the ESP-600C capability 2 units
can be connected in a parallel configuration. Refer to
Instruction Manual for specific details of the ESP-600C.
Figure 1-5. Flow Control Assembly
Connections to the flow control are Oxygen In, Nitro-
gen In, Start Gas Out, Cut Gas Out, Cut Water In and
Cut Water Out.
Plumbing Box
The ESP Plumbing Box is an interconnecting device
between the torch and other system components. It
also contains the arc starting high frequency genera-
tor. Connection of functions through the plumbing box
include; cut gas, start gas, cut water, torch coolant,
pilot arc, cutting current and height control.

Coolant Circulator
The WC-7C circulator is a radiator type cooler for cir-
culating a coolant fluid through the plasma torch pro-
viding heat exchanger action for the internal parts of
the torch. Though the system refers to water, it is not
recommended that water be used. For the protection
of internal parts and lines a specially formulated cool-
ant liquid is available that prevents production of cor-
rosion and mineral buildup. Refer to Instruction Manual
F-15-138 for detailed information on the WC-7C unit.
Flow Control
The Flow Control is a programmable Logic Control
(PLC) based unit. This device provides all the neces-
sary control functions for various fluids and signals to
and from other components of the system. Control In-
puts/Outputs are connected to the power source, cut
water pump, plumbing box, coolant circulator, air cur-
tain and the cutting machine control.

2.3 Komponentenbeschreibung (fortgesetzt)
Abbildung 2-5 Durchussregelungsbaugruppe
Durchussregelung
Die Durchussregelung ist ein Gerät, das auf einer programmierbaren logischen Steuerung (PLC) basiert. Dieses Gerät sorgt
für alle notwendigen Regelfunktionen für diverse Flüssigkeiten und Signale an andere und von anderen Anlagenteilen. Die
Regeleingänge/Ausgänge sind mit der Stromquelle, Anschlusseinheit, Kühlmittelumwälzpumpe, dem Luftvorhang und der
Schneidanlagensteuerung verbunden.
Bei den Anschlüssen an die Durchussregelung handelt es sich um den Sauersto-Einlass (Oxygen In), Luft-Einlass (Air In),
Alternativgas-Einlass (Alternate Gas In), Sticksto-Einlass (Nitrogen In), Startgas-Auslass (Start Gas Out), Schneidgas-Auslass
(Cut Gas Out) und Schutzgas-Auslass (Shield Gas Out).
Anschlusseinheit
Die ESP-Anschlusseinheit ist eine Verbindungsvorrichtung zwischen dem Brenner und anderen Anlagenkomponenten. Sie
beherbergt auch den Lichtbogenzündungs-Hochfrequenzgenerator. An die Anschlusseinheit angeschlossene Funktionsele-
mente umfassen: Schneidgas, Startgas, Schutzgas, Brennerkühlmittel, Pilotbogen, Schneidstrom und Abstandsregelung.
