Hydraulic Pressure Intensifiers for Use by Working Divers.

摘要

The need for a reliable high pressure (10,000psi) source of hydraulic power for use by divers has led to the evaluation and modification of two commercially available hydraulic pressure intensifiers,The operation of the internal mechanism of the intensifiers as well as the modifications made to each are described. Tests of both intensifiers on land and underwater as well as necessary refinements to each system are delineated. Results indicate that the intensifier concept is suitable for underwater use by divers. Designs suitable for field use which keep operation simple and the hardware rugged yet lightweight are required. (Author)
