Hydraulics hydraulic fluid

A hydraulic system uses an oil-type liquid called hydraulic fluid. This fluid is typically made from petroleum products. The advantages of hydraulics include the fact that liquids are more difficult to compress than gases, so the hydraulic system can transfer greater amounts of power. The hydraulic fluid also helps lubricate the system s components. However, if the hydraulic fluid leaks, it may present a problem. Elevators, dentists chairs, heavy equipment operations, and automobile braking systems use hydraulics. Hydraulic fluid pressure can easily be controlled.

Fuel passing through certain hot zones of an aircraft can attain high temperatures moreover it is used to cool lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or air conditioning. It is therefore necessary to control the thermal stability of jet fuels, more particularly during supersonic flight where friction heat increases temperatures in the fuel tanks. 

Blowout preventers are opened and closed by hydraulic fluid stored under a pressure of 3000 psi in an accumulator, often referred to as a Coomy unit. 

If maintenance is performed, there are two principal maintenance strategies preventive and breakdown maintenance. These are not mutually exclusive, and may be combined even in the same piece of equipment. Take for example a private motor car. The owner performs a mixture of preventive maintenance (by adding lubricating oil, topping up the battery fluid, hydraulic fluid and coolant) with breakdown maintenance (e.g. only replacing the starter motor when it fails, rather than at regular intervals). 

The silicone oils and silicone resins find application as (i) lubricants (their change of viscosity with temperature is small), (ii) hydraulic fluids (they are unusually compressible), (iii) dielectric fluids, (iv) for the pro duction of water-repellant surfaces, and (v) in the electrical industry (because of their high insulating properties). 

FLUOROTRIAZINES Riag-fluoriaated triaziaes are used ia fiber-reactive dyes. Perfluoroalkyl triaziaes are offered commercially as mass spectral markers and have been iatensively evaluated for elastomer and hydraulic fluid appHcations. Physical properties of representative fluorotriaziaes are listed ia Table 13. Toxicity data are available. For cyanuric fluoride, LD g =3.1 ppm for 4 h (iahalatioa, rat) and 160 mg/kg (skin, rabbit) (127). 

Hydraulic fluid resistance makes fluorosihcones the preferred military aircraft choice for the manufacture of the flexible bellows (12) between the hydraulic fluid reservoir and the suction pump on Northrop Corp. s T-38 trainers and T-5 fighters. Its use allows for fluid continuity during normal and inverted flight attitudes. 

Resihency provides another opportunity for the mbber functioning as a cushion between stainless steel loop clamps and fuel—hydraulic fluid lines in aircraft. Pratt and Whitney E-lOO military jet engine use (12) provides vibration damping without the clamp abraiding the tube surfaces in normal service as well as at temperatures down to —55°C. 

Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids. The four classifications of fire-resistant hydrauHc fluids are Hsted below (7). Three of the four groups are fire resistant because they contain a significant amount of water which provides cooling and blanketing of the combustible materials. 

Other Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids. Phosphate and more recently polyol esters are marketed as fire-resistant compounds. They are formulated with additives to control wear, oxidation, corrosion, and misting. Seal compatibdity and solvency characteristics of these fluids may be quite different from those of mineral ods.
