Increased Efficiency of Hydraulic Systems Through Reliability Theory and Monitoring of System Operating Parameters

摘要

In the process of hydraulics systems design various software simulation systems are used. However, the increase of efficiency of the designed hydraulic systems can be achieved in two ways: by making design modifications based on reliability theory, on one hane, or based on monitoring of system operating parameters, on the other. In this paper, a case study of the improvement of a designed and implemented hydraulic system is reviewed, using those two approaches. Based on the data collected by monitoring the system operating parameters, and the system reliability analysis, it was possible to increase the efficiency of the hydraulic system either it the initial design stage, or during system realization. The result of such an approach is the hydraulic system which successfully operates 24 hours a day, without failure, which indicates that the proposed method of system analysis and improvement allows significant enhancement of hydraulic system efficiency.
