Flow in gaps
a symmetrical velocity profile will form ( Figure S 101 a ), which is caused by adhesion of the fluid to the surface. The flow rate/pressure characteristic is described by Hagen-Poiseuille's law ( Circular
Filter installation
undertaken in the secondary flow (f) , as a separate circuit is selected in which a pump presses the fluid through the filter independent of the working cycle, as well as mostly through a cooler .
Series circuit
resistors in the same way as the electrical engineering, the individual resistances are added together in fluid technology. The flow rate through the system is then inversely proportional to the overall resistance
Solenoid actuation
Actuation of a fluid-based device by a solenoid with a stroke that is transferred directly to the device and triggers there an actuation (e.g. switching directional valve ) (Figure E 24) . In this way
Silencer
therefore reduces the noise produced in connection with this, without preventing the transport of the fluid. In hydraulics : The silencer is intended to reduce the pressure fluctuations in the line downstream
Bulk modulus
Parameter for the volume elasticity of a fluid, comparable to the modulus of elasticity of solid substances. Unlike the modulus of elasticity, however, the (genuine) bulk modulus is not a constant value
Oscilloscope
ly those involving oscillation. The following distinction is made in terms of functionality: The fluid-jet oscilloscope, which uses a nib or ink jet to write on graph paper and is suitable for processes
Pump control
Measure of speed control, in which the variable pumps are used, which only deliver as much hydraulic fluid as required in the circuit. This keeps the power loss smaller than the control with throttle . However
Thermoplastics
Teflon) has extremely low friction and has excellent chemical resistant strength (even against HFD fluids ) and very high temperature resistance from –270° to +260° C. PTFE is used in seals with an elastomer
Compression volume ΔVK
Volume which must also be compressed into a space due to the compressibility of a fluid in order to generate a specific pressure there: where V o = volume under pressure, Δ p = pressure increase in the
