Engine oil as hydraulic fluid
People would be perfectly happy to work with just one type of oil in mobile hydraulics, i.e. using the same oil in the both the engine and the hydraulics. This, however, is not advisable from either a
Newtonian fluid
Fluid where the shear stress is proportional to the velocity gradient dv/ds: The proportionality factor η is referred to as the dynamic viscosity . Mineral oil is a Newtonian fluid, whereas lubricating
Readily biodegradable fluids (hydraulic oils)
Biodegradable fluids are hydraulic fluids that biodegrade significantly more quickly than mineral oils. Biodegradation is a chemical conversion caused by microorganisms under aerobic conditions in an [...] freedom from hazardous substances are important criteria for the environmental aspects of a hydraulic fluid.
Flame-resistant hydraulic fluids
flame-resistant hydraulic fluids is comprised of water-bearing emulsions ( HFA and HFB fluids ) of aqueous solutions ( HFC pressure fluids ) and water-free, synthetic fluids in the HFD group . With the [...] is water-thin ( Table S 1 ). In most cases, the HFA pressure fluids (DIN 24 320) require a special structure, while HFC and HFD pressure fluids can be used to operate all construction elements in hydraulic
Cost of a fluid power plant
The overall costs for a plant consist of the procurement costs A, ( Figure K 33 ) and operating costs K, which can fluctuate considerably in the field of hydraulics. They will depend primarily on over
Ageing of hydraulic fluids
Damage to the hydraulic fluid primarily due to oxidisation (formation of acid residues) and polymerisation (enlargement of the hydrocarbon chains); creates sludge or resin-like coatings on device parts [...] parts as ageing products. The ageing of hydraulic fluids is accelerated by air (oxygen), water, high temperatures and metal catalysts. It is measured by the neutralisation number (Figure A 13).
External fluid admission
hydraulic fluid on motors is from the exterior onto the piston (Figure A 11) . The control on pumps is automatic using suction valves and on motors using control discs or rollers. Opposite: internal fluid admission
Supply state of hydraulic fluid
Characterises the chemical composition as well as the physical state of a new hydraulic fluid . Here is must be noted that even new oil is never absolutely clean, instead on average it corresponds to filter
Build-up distance of fluid flow pattern
Distance that is required to form from a turbulent a laminar flow and vice versa. The formation of a laminar flow requires a significantly greater distance.
Hydrostatic laws
technical fluids that behave in accordance with laws: The viscosity of a fluid, The compressibility of a fluid, The flow behaviour of a fluid, The hydraulic surge (compression surge) in a fluid. [...] acting on a stationary fluid generates a pressure that propagates in all directions with the same magnitude. This the basic law of hydrostatics . All force and pressure processes in fluids are based on this [...] this law. As the hydraulic fluid must be transported from the place it is generated (pump) to the place the energy is given up (motor, cylinder ), other laws of hydrokinetics need to be taken into account:
