WORKSHEET 3 (June 2019)

This document describes a practical lab experiment on hydraulic circuit design. The experiment has 3 tasks: 1) controlling hydraulic power pack pressure using a shut-off valve, 2) measuring the cracking pressure of a pressure relief valve, and 3) controlling cylinder speed using meter-in and meter-out methods with a flow control valve. Students are instructed to construct hydraulic circuits, take pressure and time measurements, and record their results in tables to analyze the effects of different circuit components and settings on the hydraulic system. The goal is for students to better understand concepts of hydraulic fluid flow, pressure control, and speed regulation.

Title : Hydraulics Circuit Design

Introduction/Theory:

A hydraulic system contains and confines a liquid in such a way that it uses the laws governing
liquids to transmit power and do work. This chapter describes some basic systems and discusses
components of a hydraulic system that store and condition the fluid. The oil reservoir (sump or
tank) usually serves as a storehouse and a fluid conditioner. Filters, strainers, and magnetic plugs
condition the fluid by removing harmful impurities that could clog passages and damage parts.
Heat exchanges or coolers often are used to keep the oil temperature within safe limits and
prevent deterioration of the oil. Accumulators, though technically sources of stored energy, act as
fluid storehouses.
The advantages of hydraulic systems over other methods of power transmission are—
• Simpler design. In most cases, a few pre-engineered components will replace complicated
mechanical linkages.
• Flexibility. Hydraulic components can be located with considerable flexibility. Pipes and
hoses in place of mechanical elements virtually eliminate location problems.
• Smoothness. Hydraulic systems are smooth and quiet in operation. Vibration is kept to a
minimum.
• Control. Control of a wide range of speed and forces is easily possible.
• Cost. High efficiency with minimum friction loss keeps the cost of a power transmission
at a minimum.
• Overload protection. Automatic valves guard the system against a breakdown from
overloading.
The main disadvantage of a hydraulic system is maintaining the precision parts when they are
exposed to bad climates and dirty atmospheres. Protection against rust, corrosion, dirt, oil
deterioration, and other adverse environment is very important.

Lesson learning outcomes: At the end of this task, students should be able to:

1. Understand hydraulic liquid flow and pressure in a system


2. Understand cracking pressure in a pressure relief valve
3. Understanding of structure and function of a double-acting cylinder
4. To know about meter-in and meter-out speed control method

Task #1: Hydraulic power pack pressure control

Procedures:

1. Draw hydraulic power pack circuit.


2. Connect system according to the circuit diagram
3. Connect a shut off valve to the circuit.
4. Check the connection part and any leakage of oil
5. Turn on the hydraulic power
6. Set the pressure to 0.5 MPa (50 bar) with a pressure relief valve
7. Record the pressure at the 3 points when the shut off valve is closed, open half-way
and open completely.
8. Record the pressure the table given.
9. Turn off the power after practice.
10. Dismantle and arrange the components

Result / Discussion:

Table 1: Hydraulic power pack

Task #2: Cracking pressure of a PRV

Cracking pressure is a very small opening that can allow oil to start flow into PRV. Set pressure
of the PRV to 30 bar.

Procedures:

1. Use the same circuit as in Task #1 and connect a hydraulic motor at the PRV.
2. Close shut-off valve (fully closed).
3. Set PRV to 30 bar.
4. Open shut-off valve (fully open).
5. Close shut-off valve slowly until cracking pressure.
6. Record the pressure reading at the PRV into Table 2.
7. Repeat for different pressure setting at the PRV as shown in Table 2.

Task #3: Speed control using meter-in and meter-out method using one way flow control
valve

Procedures:

1. Draw pneumatic circuit for meter-in control.


2. Prepare the required parts according to the above list
3. Compose system according to the circuit diagram drawn.
4. Check the connection part and any leakage of air
5. Turn on the hydraulic power
6. Set the pressure at PRV to 50 bar.
7. Adjust the FCV according to the given value in the Table 3.
8. Use stop watch to get the time taken for the cylinder to extend.
9. Record the reading in the Table 3.
10. Repeat the procedures for meter-out method and record the necessary reading in
the Table 4.
11. Dismantle and arrange the components

Result / Discussion:
