    Hydraulic Systems

    There are three basic types of hydraulic systems: constant flow, constant pressure, and demand. The constant flow system uses a fixed delivery pump, unloading valve, and accumulator to maintain a set system pressure. The constant pressure system uses one or more variable delivery pumps to supply oil at a nearly constant pressure. The demand system is a closed loop that uses a variable and reversible delivery pump to precisely meet the demands of loads through command and feedback signals. It is suitable for equipment requiring finite speed control.

    Hydraulic systems

    Although the hydraulic systems used aboard vary widely. They may, however, be grouped into the three
    basic set ups.
    Constant flow
    For a constant flow pump it is possible to vary the flow to a load by varying the outlet from
    the load.
    The major components are the fixed delivery pump, unloading valve, and accumulator.
    The accumulator consists of a steel pressure vessel within which is a rubber bag. The space
    between the bag and the steel walls is filled with nitrogen at a set pressure. When the constant delivery
    pump is started, oil is supplied to the accumulator inflating the bag with oil against the nitrogen pressure.
    When the set system pressure is reached the unloader valve will open maintaining system
    pressure at a set amount. The check valve maintains the pressure in the accumulator giving a ready
    reserve on demand. An alternative to this is to have a pressure cut out switch for the pump with a
    suitable dead band to prevent cycling.
    When a throttle or control valve is opened the accumulator supplies oil to the load, the
    pressure above the check valve drops, the valve opens, the unloading valve begins to close and oil is
    supplied through the check valve.
    A common use for this system is for valve openingclosing.
    Constant pressure
    !ses one or more variable delivery pumps which supply oil at nearly constant pressure to
    either a system of multiple loads or a single load such as a hydraulic elevator hoist.
    When the pumping capacity exceeds load re"uirements, the system pressure increases above
    a set value, at which point the pressure compensator acts to take the pump off stroke. A relief valve is
    fitted in case of malfunction of the compensator.
    Fluid flow to the load may be controlled by a variety of methods one of which is the simple
    three position valve shown.
    This system suits an installation containing several high demand units such as deck winch
    hydraulics
    #hown is a pump typical of the service described. The Flow $imiter acts to restrict the maximum
    movement of the #wash plate.The maximum pressure adjustement acts on the set point spring for the
    swash plate positioning control. The Tor"ue limiter takes both the %ressure and Flow &#wash %late
    %osition'signals in calculating tor"ue
    Demand system
    The demand hydraulic system is a closed loop
    system particularly adapted to meet the precise demands of varying loads such as steering gear and
    automatic weapons handling e"uipment. The variable and reversible delivery pump does not take suction
    from a sump tank, as a loop of oil is maintained between the main pump and the load. The closed loop
    eliminates pressure drop which would exist if the load control were achieved by a servo valve located in
    the main hydraulic piping. A servo pump and replenishing pump are driven off the same shaft as the main
    pump, provide actuating fluid to stroke the main pump and to provide make up fluid to the closed loop,
    respectively. (ontrol of the main pump is accomplished by command and feedback signals. The command
    and feedback signals may be composed of a combination of mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic devices.
    This system is able to deliver a reasonably precise flow of oil which makes it suitable for
    e"uipment where finite speed control is essential. An example other than those given above could be an
    anchor handling windlass.
