Fundamentals and Introduction to Hydraulic Mobile 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 (open circuit) by calculation.

Program

Part 1
  1. CONVERT A SPECIFICATION INTO A HYDRAULIC DIAGRAM
    • Project monitoring: Commercial approach – Data in a specification – Example of a specification – Design stages.
    • Introduction to the study of hydraulic circuits: The usual symbols used in mobile hydraulics – 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
    • Designing open circuit diagrams: Differential-fed single-rod cylinder – Choice of distribution device – Fitting balancing valves – Fitting flow limiters and regulators – Speed control of driving loads – Cartridge-based diagrams – Receiver synchronism – Load braking – Filtration.
    • Examples of diagrams.
Part 2
  1. SELECTING THE CIRCUIT’S HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
    • Refresher on the specifications.
    • Example of a diagram.
    • Hydraulic fluid: Mineral oil – Non-flammable fluids – Biodegradable fluids.
    • Cylinders – Pumps – Hydraulic motors.
    • Displacement control devices: Constant speed variable displacement flow control – Constant output pressure – Load-sensing – Power limiting – Dependent power summation – Independent power summation – Flow sharing.
    • Tanks – Design details – 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 – Suspension spring calculation.
    • Filters and breathers: Efficiency of filter elements – Cleanliness classes – Role and position.
    • Valves: Anti-return – Piloted – Logic and analogue.
    • Pressure valves – Flow valves – Directional control valves.
    • Temperature control: Water / Oil cooler – Air / Oil cooler – Heater.

Pedagogy

Our testimony

Tailor-made training

We call on IFC TRITECH for training in electricity and hydraulics, so that our technicians can develop their skills in an agile way. IFC TRITECH also provides us with tailor-made training on our runway equipment, which incorporates specific and complex technologies, both in its training centres and on our premises.

All these factors have made IFC TRITECH the preferred training organisation for Air France's ramp equipment division for over 20 years!

IFC TRITECH the benchmark for professional training

For over 20 years, IFC and TRITECH have been the benchmark in the field of hydraulics and lubrication training.
I have met passionate trainers who have enabled me to develop my skills in these areas.
Together with them, we have developed training courses for my employees in the maintenance of unique and complex tools.
