    Hydraulic Oils

    Uploaded by

    Hydraulic oils are liquids, typically mineral oil-based, that are used to transfer power in hydraulic systems. They allow hydraulic machinery like backhoes, brakes, aircraft controls, and industrial equipment to function efficiently by having properties like low compressibility, thermal stability, lubrication, and viscosity control. Hydraulic oils convey power within systems while also protecting components from wear, transferring heat, and acting as a seal and lubricant. Special care and fluids are required for aircraft hydraulics due to safety critical applications.

    HYDRAULIC OILS

    What are hydraulic oils???


     They are the medium by which power is
    transferred in hydraulic machinery
    .
     A liquid such as oil or water that is used
    to generate power in a hydraulic system.

     Examples of equipment that might use


    hydraulic oils include and backhoes,
    brakes, power steering systems,
    transmissions, aircraft flight control
    systems, elevators and industrial
    machinery.

     Hydraulic systems like the ones


    mentioned above will work most
    efficiently if the hydraulic fluid used has
    low compressibility.
    Characteristics and properties
     Low temperature sensitivity of
    viscosity;
     Thermal and chemical stability;
     Low compressibility;
     Good lubrication (anti-wear and anti-
    stick properties, low coefficient of
    friction);
     Hydrolytic stability (ability to retain
    properties in the high humidity
    environment);
     Low pour point (the lowest
    temperature, at which the oil may
    flow);
     Water emulsifying ability;
     Filterability;
     Rust and oxidation protection
    properties;
     Low flash point(the lowest temperature,
    at which the oil vapors are ignitable);
     Resistance to cavitations;
     Low foaming;
     Compatibility with sealant materials.
    FUNCTIONS
     The primary function of a hydraulic fluid
    is to convey power.
     Protection of the hydraulic machine
    components.
     Heat transfer
     Sealing medium
     Lubricant
    COMPOSITION
    Base Stock
     The original hydraulic fluid, dating back
    to the time of ancient Egypt, was water.
    Beginning in the 1920s, mineral oil
    began to be used more than water as a
    base stock due to its inherent lubrication
    properties and ability to be used at
    temperatures above the bp of water.
    Today most hydraulic fluids are based
    on mineral oil base stocks.
     Natural oils such as rapeseed used as
    base stocks for fluids where
    biodegradability and renewable sources
    are considered important.
     Other base stocks are used for specialty
    applications, such as for fire resistance
    and extreme temperature applications.
    Some examples include: glycol, esters,
    organophosphate ester, polyalphaolefin,
    propylene glycol, and silicone oils.
    Biodegradable hydraulic
    fluids
     Environmentally sensitive applications may
    benefit from using biodegradable hydraulic
    fluids based upon rapeseed, vegetable oil
    when there is the risk of an oil spill from a
    ruptured oil line. Typically these oils are
    available as ISO 32, ISO 46, and ISO 68
    specification oils. Guide for Assessing
    Biodegradability of Hydraulic Fluids
    Standard Classification of Hydraulic Fluids
    for Environmental Impact are relevant.
    Contamination
     Special, stringent care is required when
    handling aircraft hydraulic fluid as it is
    critical to flight safety that it stay free
    from contamination. It is also necessary
    to strictly adhere to authorized
    references when servicing or repairing
    any aircraft system. Samples from
    aircraft hydraulic systems are taken
    during heavy aircraft maintenance
    checks to check contamination.
    Safety
     Because industrial hydraulic systems
    operate at hundreds to thousands of PSI
    and temperatures reaching hundreds of
    degrees Celsius, severe injuries and
    death can result from component
    failures and care must always be taken
    when performing maintenance on
    hydraulic systems.
     Fire resistance is a property available
    with specialized fluids.
    ADVANTAGES
     Higher efficiency
     Better performance
     Environment friendly
     Can be used at very extreme
    temperatures
     Also works as lubricant while
    transmitting power
     Higher heat transfer capability than
    water
     Also acts as a sealing medium
     No wear as the working parts are not in
    contact.
    DISADVANTAGES
     A constant high pressure is required to
    be maintained.
     Leakage may occur.
     Aeration may occur through the pump
    causing noisy operation, power lag,
    knocking etc.
