The following key questions are answered in this module:
How do hydraulic pumps work? Hydraulic pumps displace fluids by applying mechanical force to fluids through the use of gears, screws, pistons, impellers, or vanes.
What is a hydraulic actuating cylinder? A hydraulic actuating cylinder is a device actuated by hydraulic pressure, typically extending and retracting a piston to open and close a valve or operate an electrical switch in an industrial process.
What are the different types of hydraulic accumulators? Accumulators are divided into types according to the means used to separate the gas and fluid chambers; these are the diaphragm, bladder, and piston accumulators.
What's the point of heating hydraulic fluid? Heating hydraulic fluid prior to operating equipment reduces pump wear, cavitation, and seal failure.
What happens when hydraulic filters become clogged? In most systems, if the pressure difference across the filter becomes too high, a bypass valve will open. In many systems this activates an indicator alerting the operator that the filter needs attention.
