Intensifiers are used to increase fluid pressure for applications like hydraulic presses. Accumulators store potential energy and act as auxiliary power sources or for thermal expansion compensation. 3. Sequencing circuits control the order of multiple actions using sensors. Synchronizing circuits coordinate the movement of multiple cylinders using flow control valves.

UNIT III

HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS

PART-A

1. List the application of intensifier. Nov/Dec2011, Nov/Dec 2012

i) It is required in hydraulic machines such as hydraulic presses which require fluid at high
pressure.

ii.) Intensifier is used commonly for clamping, holding, punching, presses, jacks, torque
wrenches.

2. List the basic arrangements in hydrostatic drives. May/June2013

The operating principle of hydrostatic transmissions (HSTs) is simple: A pump,


connected to the prime mover, generates flow to drive a hydraulic motor, which is
connected to the load. If the displacement of the pump and motor are fixed, the HST
simply acts as a gearbox to transmit power from the prime mover to the load. Most
HSTs, however, use a variable-displacement pump, motor, or both so that speed,
torque, or power can be regulate.
3. What is the function of accumulator? May/June2014

Leakage compensation, auxiliary power source, emergency power source, shock suppressor,
thermal expansion compensator.

4. What is the function of accumulator? NOV/DEC 2014

Accumulator is used as an auxiliary power source. It is a device which stores the potential
energy of the fluid. The stored potential energy in the accumulator acts
5. Define the terms Lap and Null With respect to the servo valves.
(April/May2008)

Valve lap, or valve overlap, refers to the amount of spool travel from the center position
required to start opening between the powered input port and the work (output) port or the tank
port. A zero lapped valve is one in which any tiny, differentially small amount of spool shift,
either way, starts the opening. However, there is no contact between the OD of the spool and ID
of the bore. And even zero lapped valves have some slight amount of overlap. Nonetheless, the
zero-lapped term persists.

Valve null is a specific point of a servo valve’s pressure metering curve where the two
deadhead (blocked port) work port pressures are equal. Servo valves are equipped with a
mechanical adjusting device so that with no electrical power applied (connector disconnected
from the valve), a spring or magnetic force can be changed to make the two work port pressures
equal. That is normally where the factory adjusts a valve during final test, assuming it will be
used on an equal area cylinder.

6. What is meant by an air over oil system? (April/May2008)

Air-over-oil tanks are another common way to create an air-over-oil system. These tanks
hold more than enough oil to stroke the cylinder one way. Having an air valve piped to the air-
over-oil tanks forces oil from the tanks into the cylinder

7. State Coanda effect (April/May2008)

Coanda effect is the phenomena in which a jet flow attaches itself to a nearby surface and
remains attached even when the surface curves away from the initial jet direction. In free
surroundings, a jet of fluid entrains and mixes with its surroundings as it flows away from a
nozzle.
8. What are the advantages of using intensifiers? (Nov/Dec 2009)

 Higher performance and longer life on account of a lower operating pressure


 More compact system
 Greater safety due to lower pressure in general
 Integrated valves
 No dynamic seals
 Intensification ratio adapted to requirements

9. What is the purpose of synchronised hydraulic circuits? (Nov/Dec 2009)

A hydraulic circuit is connected to the cylinder assemblies, and includes synchronizer with
multiple isolated chambers corresponding to the lift cylinder assemblies, a rod extending axially
through the chambers, and pistons mounted on the rod and associated with the isolated chambers.
An axial passageway extends continuously through the rod and is connected to first passageways
for communicating hydraulic fluid to one side of the chambers.

10. List any four applications of accumulators (April/May2010)

Accumulators are also used for systems where thermal expansion could cause excessive
pressure. Cylinders with blocked ports in a high ambient heat area can go to high pressure if
there is no place for expanding fluid to go.

Another use for accumulators is as a barrier between two different fluids. The pump that uses
hydraulic fluid keeps pressure on a circuit that uses water or another incompatible medium.

One supplier offers low-pressure accumulators as breathing devices for sealed reservoirs.
This keeps airborne contaminants out of the hydraulic oil as the fluid level rises and falls.

11. What is a sequencing circuit? April/May2015

Process control pneumatics is also called as sequencing. It means performing number of


actions one after another which follows each other in a simple order or with an order determined
by sensors.
12. Drawany one type of synchronizing circuit (April/May2010)

13. What is the function of regenarative circuits (Nov/Dec2005)

14. What is servo valve? How does it work? (Nov/Dec2005)

15. Highlight the need of usage in accumulator (Nov/Dec2006)


16. What is twin pressure valve (Nov/Dec2005)

17. What are major component of hydraulic system (Nov/Dec2007)

18. What is an intensifier (Nov/Dec2007)

19. Name one application of a counterbalance valve. (Apr/May 2007)

The counterbalance valve is used to maintain back pressure on a vertical cylinder to prevent it
from falling due to gravity.

20. What is the need for temperature compensation in flow control valves?

As the viscosity of oil varies with temperature, the oil becomes less viscous when temperature
increases. As the less viscous fluid flow more readily through an orifice, the increase in
temperature causes increase in flow for a valve setting. So temperature compensation is needed
to offset the effect of such temperature variation.
