    This document discusses hydraulic pumps and fluid power distribution systems. It describes how hydraulic pumps work by taking oil from a tank and raising its pressure to cause it to flow through a circuit. Positive displacement pumps deliver a definite volume of fluid per revolution. The document also discusses pump efficiency, types of pumps including gear, vane, piston and axial piston pumps, hydraulic circuits, supply tanks, filters, and pressure relief valves.

    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Hydraulic Pumps:
     Takes oil from the tank and raises its pressure and hence causes it to flow
    through the hydraulic circuit.

    Specified by:
     flow rate they can deliver
     maximum pressure

     If pump forces fluid along pipe of cross-sectional area A against a


    pressure p and moves it a distance x in a time t then

    Work done = force x distance= pAx


    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Hydraulic Pumps:
     If pump forces fluid along pipe of cross-sectional area A against a
    pressure p and moves it a distance x in a time t then

    Work done = force x distance= pAx

    Power=pAx/t

    Ax is volume moved in time t and thus Ax/t is volume flow rate Q


    So,

    Power = pQ
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Pump efficiency:
     Positive displacement Pumps:
    Definite amount of fluid is swept out from the pumping chamber for
    every revolution of the drive shaft

    The volume being termed as the capacity of the pump.

    If there is no loss of fluid due to leakages then volume Qp delivered


    per unit time is:

    Cp is the capacity of the pump and np is the number of revolutions


    per unit time of the pump shaft.
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
     Positive displacement Pumps:
    No pump is perfect, there is leakage of oil. Thus the actual delivered
    volume per unit time Qa is less.
    So,

    Q1 is the leakage volume per unit time.


    The rate of leakage depends upon:
     Viscosity of fluid
     The pressure p
     Clearance spaces
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
     Positive displacement Pumps:

    Volumetric efficiency:
     At a constant rate of revolution thus decreases with increasing pressure.
     At a constant pressure, increases with the increasing rate of revolution of
    pump shaft
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
     Positive displacement Pumps:
    For a rotating shaft of radius r, the distance travelled by a point on its
    surface in one revolution is 2πr.
    For np revolutions the distance travelled per second is 2πr np.

    Work done per second= F x 2πr np

    If the shaft is being acted on by the torque Tp then Tp = Fr

    Shaft power= 2πnp Tp


    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
     Positive displacement Pumps:
    Total oil flow rate Qp through the pump per second is Cp np

    Power delivered is Cp np p

    Types of pumps:
    Gear Pump:

     Generally operate at pressures below about 15MPa


     Maximum flow capacity is about 0.5 m3 /min
     Volumetric efficiency is about 0.9 and overall efficiency is about 0.6 to 0.8

    Lobe pump:
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Types of pumps:
    Vane pump:

    Volumetric efficiency of the order of 0.95 is achievable.

    Types of pumps:
    Piston pump:
    Radial piston pump:
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Types of pumps:
    Piston pump:
    Axial piston Pump:

    High Volumetric efficiency, radial up to 95% and axial upto 98%.


    Radial piston pump can be used upto about 60MPa.
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Hydraulic Circuit:
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Supply Tank:
     Must contain enough hydraulic fluid to meet the circuit demand and still
    leave some reserve in the tank.
     Volume at least three times the volume of the fluid delivered in one
    minute.

     Tank also serves as the heat exchanger to cool the fluid and allow time for
    contaminants to settle out.
    Production and Distribution of fluid Power
    Filters:
    Fluid contamination in hydraulic circuit can cause valves to stick, seals to fail
    and wear of components.

    Filters are commonly used in the hydraulic circuit :


     In the inlet line for the fluid from the tank to the pump to protect the
    pump.
     In the pressure line after the pump to protect actuators and valves.
     In the return line to limit the particles being returned to the tank.
