2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CaviBlaster®2070 high-pressure water power unit allows the operator to use the
water flow and pressure to generate cavitation at the end of the proprietary nozzle.
The CaviBlaster®cleans the surface of any underwater structure and crushes concrete
using the energy released by the implosion of the bubbles during the cavitation process.
When directed at the surface being cleaned, the energy released by the collapsing
bubbles causes marine growth to be removed from the surface.
The system consists of a portable, zero-thrust gun/guns, connecting high-pressure hose
and a diesel-powered, high-pressure pumping unit. The zero-thrust gun/guns uses a
trigger-operated valve to control the water stream on and off. If the valve is closed, the
power unit goes into bypass mode unloading the engine and the pump.
FULL LOAD is defined as the engine at full throttle / full
speed. If partially throttled, the engine will stall, creating
an undesirable running condition for the belt drive system.
The CaviBlaster®2070 power unit is a complete “plug and play” system built into a self-
supporting frame that allows quick deployment and/or installation of the unit. Water can
be supplied from either a pressurized source, directly from the natural source via a belt-
driven booster pump supplied with the power unit, or from a gravity feed storage tank.
The unit is equipped with many features to maintain operator safety while operating at
pressures of 7,250-psi (500 bar).

2.1 Using this Manual (Version 2.0)
Every attempt has been made to ensure that this documentation is complete and
accurate at the time of publication. It is imperative; however, that anyone
attempting to use this manual must have good comprehension of how this
equipment operates. Further, this manual can in no way replace the common
sense of an individual. If at any time this manual seems to contradict itself, or
common sense, discontinue the procedure, re-read the section, and seek
assistance from CaviDyneTM or other personnel familiar with the operation of this
equipment.
2.2 Conventions
The first time a component is mentioned, it is typically followed by a figure
reference; e.g., Emergency Stop button (See Figure 2.1). Figure numbers and
section numbers are always coincident.
When other sections are referenced the SECTION NAME will appear in italic
caps. The electronic version allows users to click on the section name or figure
reference to jump to that section. The words “This space intentionally left
blank” will appear where there is more than 3 inches of white space.
(EOS) will appear above the page number on the last page of each section.
2.3 Scope
This manual covers installation, operation, and maintenance of the CaviBlaster®
2070. It is essential that personnel who will operate and/or service this equipment
familiarize themselves with this manual. Standard components, such as the unit
engine and pump, are covered by the manufacturer’s literature found in the
Appendix.
