Lowering brake valve
the valve using a hydraulic piston. Application: cranes, winches, etc. Figure S 45: Principle of drop-rate braking valve
Hydropneumatic accumulator
hydraulics , nitrogen for oil accumulators). As a consequence of the gas cushion the accumulator pressure drops with increasing withdrawal of the usable volume in accordance with the ratio of gas capacity to oil
Loop line
smaller pressure fluctuations and smaller pipe cross sections with the same flow rate or pressure drop. Compressed air networks are often designed as a loop line. In hydraulic systems, loop lines are used
Pressure loss through an orifice
the pressure loss through an orifice directly and easily in our hydraulic calculator . The pressure drop Δp at a constriction is calculated from the flow Q, the diameter d of the orifice, the density of
Flow coefficient Kv (Kv value) of a valve
Defines the quantity of water in m3 (L) that flows through a valve in one hour (minute) with a pressure drop of 1 bar (VDI 2173). The Kv value is therefore a parameter for the selection of valve sizes. It can
Kv value (of valves)
of water at +5 to +30°C passing through a device (valve) in a given direction based on a pressure drop of 1 bar and an upstream pressure of 6 bar. The practical benefits of the Kv value (of valves) are
Pressure-flow rate (p/Q) characteristic
On continuously adjustable directional valves : The flow depends on the magnitude of the pressure drop assumed at the control edges as well as the magnitude of the opening cross-section and with it the
Accumulator charging valve
it reaches its charging pressure and to switch the pump back on when the accumulator pressure has dropped to a predetermined pressure ( Figure S 67 ). A good accumulator system should ensure the pump can
Pressure loss through a fitting
The pressure drop Δp at a fitting (elbow, ankle fitting etc.) is calculated from the flow Q, the diameter of the orifice d, the density of the media and the back pressure coefficient ξ. The back pressure
Pressure alternation process in positive displacement machines
from the suction side to the pressure side on hydrostatic displacement machines . Due to the pressure drop or increase that occurs in a very short time. The process is all the harder the steeper the rate of
