    This document describes an exercise to design a hydraulic circuit to control a furnace door. A double-acting cylinder activated by a 4/2-way valve with spring return is used to open and close the furnace door. When the valve actuating lever is released, the door closes again. The exercise aims to have students understand the hydraulic circuit diagram, develop the circuit according to the task, and install and commission the hydraulic components. Key component specifications and calculations are provided to analyze the relationship between the advance and retract stroke speeds and times and the area ratio of the cylinder.

    Type of Assessment

    Exercise 6

    Task: A furnace door is opened and closed by double-acting cylinder. The cylinder is
    activated by a 4/2-way valve with spring return. This ensures that the door opens
    only as long as the valve is actuated. When the valve actuating lever is released, the
    door closes again.
    Exercise Aim:
    1. Understanding of hydraulic circuit diagram.
    2. To develop the hydraulic circuit according to task given.
    3. Installing and commissioning hydraulic components.

    Characteristic data required for calculation;


    Piston area: APN = 2 cm
    Piston annular area: APR = 1.2 cm
    Stoke length: s = 200 mm
    Pump output: q = 2 l/min
    Area Ratio:

    = APN / APR
    = .........................

    Advance stroke speed:

    vadv = q / APN
    vadv = ...............................

    Advance stroke time:

    tadv = s / vadv
    tadv = .................................

    Retract stroke speed:

    vret = q / APN
    vret = ...............................

    Retract stroke time:

    Travel Time - tadv

    tret = s / vret
    tret = .................................

    Ratio of travel speeds:


    vadv / vret = ........................
    Ratio of travel times:
    tadv / tret = ........................

    Exercise 6 - 3

    Conclusion:
    Compare the advance and retract stroke speeds and times with the area ration. What is the
    relationship between these?
