New Fluid Power Applications, Components, and Testing
Hydrostatic transmission control, energy optimization, and environmental aspects of hydraulic applications are continuing to increase in importance for OEMs. This book focuses on new and advanced methods of hydrostatic control, environmental and safety aspects of applications, and effective energy usage. Contents include: water-glycol hydraulic fluid evaluation by ASTM D 2882: significant contributors to erroneous results; hydraulic pump performance as a function of speed and pressure; integrated hydrostatic transmission control; computer analysis of an axial piston pump port plate; cleanable hydraulic and engine lubricating oil filters for off-road applications; heat generation from hydraulic system losses in refuse packers; research on novel pump/motor displacement-varying mechanism controlled with high-speed on-off valve; the intelligent control for the hydrostatic drive system of secondary regulation using neural networks; and hydraulic safety valve design using PC simulation.
