I've been fighting an issue with my OMAX 55100 2040 for a while (almost a year) and can't seem to find the root cause.
I keep blowing the dynamic seal on cylinder one.
I'm pretty confident the failure is from extreme heat. The water coming from cylinder one is very hot and gets to a scalding temp within a minute.
I've checked the water flow through the coolant housing assembly and it seems to be as good as the other two. I've replaced the cylinder, displacer, plunger and check valve assembly in addition to the standard consumables and still not getting anywhere. After replacing the dynamic seal I'll get anywhere from 25-75hrs before it fails again and sometimes even shorter when I used to go a year or more. It's so consistent that it's just factored in to my work flow expectations that I'll be replacing it within that time frame. It's so hot the tank water is getting over 110F after 8hrs of cutting.
Hoping someone has seen something similar and can point me in the right direction.
