Fundamentals and Introduction to Hydraulic Design - ED

Objectives

At the end of the course, trainees will be able to:

  • Convert a specification into a hydraulic diagram.
  • Determine the components of a hydraulic diagram by calculation.

Program

Part 1

    • Project monitoring: Commercial approach – Data in a specification – Example of a specification – Design stages.
    • Introduction to the study of hydraulic circuits: Standard symbols used in industry – Open and closed circuits.
    • Receivers: – Symmetrical subjected to a resisting force (torque) – Symmetrical subjected to a driving force (torque) – Dissymmetrical subjected to a resisting force – Dissymmetrical subjected to a driving force.
    • Generation of flow or pressure: Fixed or variable flow generators – Pressure generators – Conclusion.
    • Circuit architecture
    • Open circuit design.
    • Open circuit diagram design.
    • Detailed study of closed and semi-closed circuits: Description of a closed circuit – Variant closed circuit diagrams – Filtration of closed circuits – Semi closed circuit.
    • Examples of diagrams.
Part 2
  1. SELECTING THE CIRCUIT’S HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
    • Refresher on the specifications: Example of a functional diagram – Example of specifications.
    • Example of a diagram
    • Hydraulic fluid: Mineral oil – Non-flammable fluids
    • Cylinders – Pumps – Hydraulic motors.
    • Tanks – Design details – Total volume calculation – Heat loss calculation
    • Piping: Calculation formulas – Technology and installation – Rigid pipes – Flexible pipes.
    • Fittings and flanges
    • Hydropneumatic accumulators: Energy reserve calculation – Anti-pulsation calculation – Shock absorption calculation – Expansion compensator calculation – Suspension spring calculation.
    • Filters and breathers: Efficiency of filter elements – Cleanliness classes – Role and position.
    • Valves: Anti-return – Piloted – Logic and analogue in accordance with ISO 7368.
    • Pressure valves – Flow valves – Directional control valves – Control valves for servo systems.
