for mobile hydraulic systems. The total potential us equal to the maximum
operating flow and pressure that are generated by the system under full load. Formula
To determine the total potential (HP) use the following formula.
T = System temperature entering
HP = [ System Pressure (PSI) x System flow (GPM) ] / 1714
Tc exit = { T - [ Q / (case flow gpm x 210) ]}
Example:
HP = (3000 PSI x 40 GPM) / 1714 = 70 HP or the total input potential Example

To determine the system heat load in BTU / HR we must use a percentage (v) Tc exit = { 150 - [ 12,725 / (8 x 210) ]} = 142.4
of the system potential HP. The factor (v) can be calculated by adding up the
actual inefficiencies of a system; however, for most applications a (v) value
of 25% - 30% can be used. Tc exit = The corrected temperature of the oil exiting the cooler.

Example: Fs = Q x Cv
____________ 12,725 x 1.13 = 300 Fs
___________
20 HP x .25 = 5 HP heat Tc exit - tambient 142.4-100

To convert the horsepower of heat into BTU/HR use the formula below: SELECTION
HP x 2542 = BTU/HR To select a model, locate the flow rate (GPM) at the bottom of the flow vs Fs
graph. Proceed upward until the GPM intersects with the calculated Fs. The
