Reducing energy consumption is an important trend in development of fluid power systems. Improving the characteristics of fluid power systems must not entail rendering fluid power more complicated, more expensive, or more maintenance intensive. Among the important solutions for saving energy in hydraulic systems is included load-sensing and secondary control.
Using secondary control hydraulic systems in impressed pressure circuits one can obtain a substantial growth of efficiency. Tasks for the future can be seen in the recognition of possible new applications that could not be identified so far. It will result important energy saving. |
