Hydraulic oil tanks, hydraulic pump stations, and hydraulic system services can be customized according to needs, with pricing based on size and iron plate thickness.
Q1.What are the main functions of a hydraulic oil tank?
One is to store hydraulic oil and provide continuous oil supply for the system to meet the oil demand during operation; The second is heat dissipation, which involves exchanging heat between the surface of the oil tank and the air to dissipate the heat generated during the operation of the hydraulic system, preventing excessive oil temperature from affecting system performance; The third is the precipitation of impurities, which causes solid particles and impurities in the oil to settle at the bottom of the tank, reducing the entry of impurities into the system and causing wear on components; The fourth is to separate the air and moisture in the oil, ensure the purity of the oil entering the system, and avoid the adverse effects of cavitation and moisture on the system.
Q2.How to determine the capacity of the hydraulic oil tank?
Determining the capacity of the hydraulic oil tank requires a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Usually, it can be estimated based on the flow rate of the hydraulic system, and the general empirical formula is that the tank capacity is 3-5 times the pump flow rate per minute. For low-voltage systems, the multiplier can be appropriately reduced; For systems with high pressure, frequent operation, or high heat generation, the multiplier should be set to be higher. We also need to consider the characteristics of the system's working cycle, such as the different requirements for fuel tank capacity between intermittent and continuous working systems. At the same time, it is necessary to combine the temperature rise requirements of the system and accurately determine the fuel tank capacity through thermal balance calculation to ensure that the system oil temperature is within the normal working range.
Q3.Why are filters installed in hydraulic oil tanks, and what are the common types of filters?
Setting up filters is to filter impurities in the oil, prevent them from entering the hydraulic system, avoid wear and scratches on precision components such as hydraulic pumps and valves, and ensure the normal operation of the system and the service life of components. Common types of filters include mesh filters, which have a simple structure and high oil flow capacity, but low filtration accuracy, and are generally used in oil suction pipelines; Wire gap filter, with higher filtration accuracy than mesh filter, can be used for oil suction or return pipelines; Paper filters have high filtration accuracy and can effectively filter out small particles. They are commonly used in system return pipelines that require high oil cleanliness; Sintered filters have high strength, good corrosion resistance, a wide range of filtration accuracy, and can be used in various working conditions.
