    摘要: A sub-system 200 for an aircraft hydraulic system 20 that includes a first inlet 202 for receiving fluid from a supply 22 of hydraulic fluid, a system valve 210 for controlling fluid flow from the sub-system 200 to a hydraulically-operable system 24 of the aircraft hydraulic system 20, a check valve 220 for permitting fluid flow from the sub-system 200 and preventing or hindering fluid flow into the sub-system 200, a second inlet 240 for receiving fluid from a second supply 28 of hydraulic fluid, and a selector 230. The selector 230 configured to place the system valve 210 in fluid communication with the first inlet 202 when the selector 230 is in a first state, and to place the system valve 210 in fluid communication with the check valve 220 and the second inlet 240 when the selector 230 is in a second state different from the first state.

    摘要: A vortex reservoir for separation of an aerated portion of a hydraulic fluid includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber, in fluid communication with the upper chamber, having a lower chamber sidewall. The lower chamber includes a lower lower chamber and an upper lower chamber. The lower chamber includes a lower chamber partitioning plate. The lower chamber partitioning plate is located between the lower lower chamber and the upper lower chamber. The lower lower chamber is in fluid communication with the upper lower chamber via a gap between the lower chamber partitioning plate and the lower chamber sidewall.

    摘要: A diffuser for a return line on a hydraulic tank may include a coupling portion configured for coupling in fluid communication with a return port of the hydraulic tank and for receiving return fluid along an incoming longitudinal direction. The diffuser may also include a dispersion portion in fluid communication with the coupling portion and configured for dispersing the return fluid radially. The diffuser may also include a manifold arranged around the dispersion portion and configured to direct the return fluid circumferentially and axially.

    摘要: An example valve includes: (i) a valve body comprising a supply port and an operating port; (ii) a sleeve comprising a first opening fluidly coupled to the supply port, a second opening fluidly coupled to the operating port, and a seat; (in) a spool configured to move axially within the sleeve, wherein the spool is configured to he seated on the seat of the sleeve when the valve is unactuated, and wherein when the valve is actuated, the spool moves such that a gap is formed at the seat; and (iv) a flow restriction disposed downstream of the gap, wherein when the valve is actuated, fluid is allowed to flow from the supply port through the first opening and the gap and through die flow′ restriction prior to flowing through the second opening to the operating port, such that the flow restriction generates an increased pressure level at the gap.

    摘要: A monitoring system for a plurality of pressure pumps may include, for each pump, a strain gauge, a position sensor and a pressure transducer. A strain gauge may be positionable on each pump to generate a strain measurement corresponding to strain in each pump. A position sensor may be positionable on each pump to generate a position measurement corresponding to a position of a rotating member corresponding of each pump. A pressure transducer is positionable on each pump to generate a boost pressure measurement that is usable with the strain measurement and the position measurement to determine a cavitation threshold for each pump.

    摘要: A method for generating cavitation resistance in a liquid, a portion of which can be in contact with a surface is disclosed. The disclosed method can be carried out by pressure-treating the liquid, the liquid portion in contact with the surface, and/or the surface for a sufficient time to develop resistance to cavitation. The disclosed method can be carried out when the surface is made of a material having a surface roughness that is greater than the rc of the liquid. Suitable surfaces include borosilicate glass, drawn glass, copper, lead, steel, cast iron, metal alloys and concrete. The surfaces can be ship and boat propeller surfaces, the interior of fuel lines and fuel storage containers or any other surface where cavitation can occur.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a stand-alone or inbuilt logical element associated with a hydraulic system for effective regeneration to improve the efficiency of any hydraulic system of a machine or equipment, including but not limited to farm machinery, industrial machinery, construction and mining machinery which uses hydraulic system. The logical element senses the cavitation or low pressure in the hydraulic system and automatically regulates and diverts the portion of hydraulic oil flow to caveated and required areas by regenerating through the anti-cavitation feature of the valve by automatically sensing and applying selective restriction to the set or adjustable pressure limit for the passage of oil.
