Other Cleaning Equipment
(1) Air breather: An actuator causes the working fluid and air to flow in and out of a reservoir. An air breather serves as ventilation for air intake and discharge, filtering out dust in the air. The air breather is … Continue reading
Off-Line Filters
These filters clean working fluids in a reservoir by using a dedicated pump and a filter separate from the line. They are employed when a higher cleaning level is required.
Line Filters
A reservoir filter with a higher filtration rating results in higher suction resistance. To avoid such a rise of suction resistance, line filters are required. Line filters protect hydraulic components by removing contaminants from working fluids and keeping them clean. … Continue reading
Reservoir Filters
Two types are available. One protects the pump by installing filters at the pump suction port. The other, called the return filter, cleans the working fluid returning to the reservoir. (1) Suction filter without a case (FT): It consists of … Continue reading
Hydraulic Diaphragm Accumulators
The hydraulic diaphragm accumulator consists of halves screwed or bolted together. A synthetic rubber diaphragm is installed between both halves, making two chambers. Two connection ports are threaded in both halves. The top opening is fitted with a screen disc … Continue reading
Hydraulic Piston Accumulator
Hydraulic piston accumulator consists of a barrel as body, heads and piston. The piston may be extended with a tail rod; the piston without a tail rod is referred to as a floating piston. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into one … Continue reading
Hydraulic Bladder Accumulator
A bladder accumulator is constructed by entering a flexible bladder inside a shell. The hydraulic bladder accumulator has a larger diameter at the top and smaller at the bottom. The bladder bag is made from synthetic rubber which is thinner … Continue reading
Methods for Cooling Hydraulic Oil
Two types of heat exchanger are used to cool hydraulic oil: (1) shell-and-tube and (2) finned tube. The shell-and-tube (Fig. 8.1) has a series of tubes inside a closed cylinder. The oil flows through the small tubes, and the fluid … Continue reading
