I think you have a classic case of hydraulic dead heading. You are trying to push more fluid through the system than the lines and pump will handle. I think you could install a hydraulic pressure relief valve in the pump output line and cure it. The max system pressure is supposed to be about 1160psi with the pump deadheading against a gauge, so I'd use a 1000-1500psi adj. relief valve


I would think it's a situation of mismatched flow. If the extra flow has to be dumped over a relief valve, this will generate heat. The change in energy state (pressurized) to a lower state (unpressurized) has to be converted into something and that's heat. I'd say the solution is to either use matched components or a big cooler.

No, the effect would be quite opposite changing from pressurized to non-pressurized would actually cool it not heat it up. That's how refrigeration in general works. Loss of energy(depressurization) cann't coninside with acquiring of energy - heating up.

Pressure relif valve at the pump won't help/make any difference either, actually I'm pretty sure pump already has one at least I wouldn't make one without, since it will still keep system pressurized all the time. System pressure won't exceed pressure set by relief valve but who says it does.
