ABSTRACT:
A method of retrofit includes the steps of removing the pre-existing superstructure of the lift system. A hole is then cut in the encasement securing the upper portion of the pre-existing casing. Thereafter, all hydraulic fluid is drained. Thereafter, the pre-existing gland flange is removed. The old plunger is also removed. After the same has been accomplished, there is then provided a high pressure low volume hydraulic cylinder and associated hydraulic line, all of which is positioned within the casing of the pre-existing system. The bottom of the high pressure hydraulic cylinder is mechanically locked to the base of the pre-existing outer casing. A new pump and hydraulic lines are then installed. A new plunger is then added to the new hydraulic cylinder and, with it, an appropriate bearing and guide mechanism which uses the pre-existing casing as an outer guide means for the new plunger. Alternatively, an upper bearing structure is then provided between the top of the pre-existing casing and the new plunger. The hole cut in the concrete encasement is filled with newly placed concrete. The pre-existing superstructure is then secured to the top of the new plunger and cylinder structure.
