What is a HYDRAULICS SYSTEM?

HS is a system which uses fluid flow and pressure to do


work.
(use hydraulic as a means of transmitting power)

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

HYDRAULICS SYSTEM
The theory behind HS equipment is

FLUID PRESSURE.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

PRINCIPLES OF HYDRAULICS
The static pressure exerted by a column of liquid is determined by the height of the column and is independent of its volume. Meaning that
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 6

PRINCIPLES OF HYDRAULICS
Neither the shape nor the volume of a container affects the pressure. Only the height of the container has any effects.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

PRINCIPLES OF HYDRAULICS
Pascals Law A confined hydraulic fluid exerts equal pressure at every point and in every direction in the fluids.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

PRINCIPLES OF HYDRAULICS
PSI = Pounds per Square Inch The pressure produced in a hydraulic cylinder acts at right angles to the cylinder walls = force of hydraulics

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE IN A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


The product of the force times the distance moved of the small piston is equal to the product of the force times the distance moved of the large piston.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

10

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE IN A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Mechanical advantage may be obtained by using a piston with a small area to force fluid into a cylinder with a larger piston.

Aircraft and HS - requirements


The majority of aircraft in use today need hydraulic power for a number of tasks. Many of the functions to be performed affect the safe operation of the aircraft and must not operate incorrectly. The system must operate when

commanded, must not operate when not commanded and must not fail totally under single failure conditions.
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 16

REQUIREMENTS
The larger an aircraft is the greater the force required to: Move flight control surfaces Extend and retract landing gear Apply brakes Steer the aircraft on the ground

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

17

REQUIREMENTS

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

18

REQUIREMENTS
These requirements together with the type of aircraft determine the design of a hydraulic system. Different aircraft have different hydraulics power configurations. The type of hydraulics applied to aircraft is called power hydraulics because it involves the application of power through the medium of hydraulics. A small aircraft may only have one hydraulics system powering only the brakes Larger aircraft have up to four individual hydraulics system powering

Basic Hydraulics Systems


A hydraulics systems requires:
a source of hydraulics power (the pump) Pipes or hoses to carry the hydraulic fluid from one point to another a valve mechanism to control the flow and direction of hydraulic fluid a device for converting the fluid power to movement (actuator) and a reservoir to store the hydraulic fluids

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

21

BASIC HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


A basic hydraulic system consists of: a supply of hydraulic fluid (Oil) Reservoir store fluid a pump with check or non-return valves - source of hydraulic power an actuator and convert power to movement a selector valve.- control flow

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

22

OPEN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


Potential energy Stored in water Kinetic energy in the water flow is converted to Mechanical energy as it turns the turbine

Kinetic energy in water flow

Open system Water is lost to the river

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

23

CLOSED HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS


Fluid is enclosed in system Early aircraft hydraulic brake
Expanding tube

Has NO way of replenishing lost fluid As fluid heats up and expands brakes will apply (drag)

Fluid enclosed in brake housing

CLOSED HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

24

SIMPLE HYDRAULICS SYSTEM ( TWO WAY )


A double acting actuator can operate in both directions A two-way selector valve has four ports Pressure can be directed to either side of the actuator. The other side of the piston is directed to return fluid to the reservoir.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

25

SIMPLE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (BRAKE)


A Modern light aircraft and automotive brake system Overcomes problem with the expanding tube type Compensator port allows fluid to replenish the system and return to reservoir Same principle for both disc and drum brakes
26

COMPENSATOR PORT

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

Hydraulics Fluids
HF make possible the transmission of pressure and energy. Act as : Medium to transmit pressure and energy Lubricating medium to reduce friction between moving part

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

27

HYDRAULICS FLUID
Hydraulic Fluids must have the following properties be incompressible have good lubricating properties inhibit corrosion not chemically attack the seals used in the system and must not foam in operation

Major Characteristics of Hydraulic Fluids a low viscosity chemical stability a high flash point and a high fire point

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

28

Flash point and Fire point


Flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable (to set fire) mixture in air. Fire point, is defined as the temperature at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited (to cause burn)

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

29

Hydraulics Fluids
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

To be suitable as a means of transmitting hydraulic forces, fluids must have certain basic qualities. These are : Low viscosity Not affected by extreme temperature Oiliness (they will act as lubricants) Will not corrode metals (inhibit corrosion) Will not affect the seals (not chemically attack the seals used in the system) Non-toxic or burn to operators Fire resistant (high fire point) Stability (its properties will not change with time) Must not foam in operation
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 30

HYDRAULICS FLUID
There are three types of hydraulics fluid being used in aircraft : Vegetable base Mineral base Phosphate ester-base
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 31

VEGETABLE-BASE FLUID
VBF normally almost colourless (dyed

rubber seals and hoses. It is used in some braking systems but is not often
found in hydraulic power system.

blue) and must be used with pure

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

32

VEGETABLE-BASE FLUID
Mixture contain castor oil and alcohol based Dyed blue for identification Natural (pure) rubber seals are used System may be flushed with alcohol (Methylated Spirits) Common in older wheel braking systems
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 33

MINERAL - BASE FLUID


MBF is normally colored red, and must be used with (sinthetic rubber ) rubber seals and hoses. It is widely used in light aircraft braking system, hydraulic power systems and shock absorber struts.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

34

MINERAL - BASE FLUID


Most widely used hydraulic fluid in general aviation aircraft today Use in systems where the fire hazard is comparatively low. A kerosene-type petroleum hydraulic fluid Dyed red for identification Seals required maybe synthetic rubber, leather or metal composition. Less corrosive and less damaging compare to other fluids System may be flushed with hydrocarbons

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

35

Phosphate Ester Based


PEBF is widely used on modern aircraft, mainly because of its fire resistance and extended operating-temperature range. It may be colored green or purple and must only be used with butyl rubber, ethylene propylene or Teflon seals and hoses. This fluid requires extreme care in handling as it is irritant to the skin and eyes.
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 36

SYNTHETIC - BASED FLUIDS


Skydrol is the most widely used hydraulic fluid in transport aircraft today A phosphate ester base of synthetic hydraulic fluids Dyed light purple for identification Butyl rubber seals and hoses may be used Correct seal material type is critical System may be flushed with trichlorethylene Corrosive to titanium alloys

Always read the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) and read the instruction plate affixed to the reservoir before adding fluid.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

39

Handling Hydraulics Fluids (Safety Precaution)


Before you begin working with hydraulic systems and hydraulic fluids, you need to take the appropriate precautions so that you are protected from injury Hydraulic fluids can be under very high pressure (3000psi+) and, even when they are not, they can be harmful, especially the synthetic fluids such as Skydrol Causes pain on contact with eye tissue Read the MSDS if unfamiliar with any type of fluid Read page 345 (Aircraft Maintenance & Repair)

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

40

Handling Hydraulics Fluids


Mark Each airplane hydraulic systems Never service a systems with different type of fluid (instruction plate) Protect the containers and fluid (any dirt effects the systems) Never open the containers to the air longer than necessary
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 41

Handling Hydraulics Fluids


Do not mixed the fluids Do not expose fluids to high heat Avoid contact with eyes or skin Wear protective glove and face shield
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 42

HYDRAULICS RESERVOIRS
A tank or container to store sufficient hydraulic fluids Have the capability of containing extra fluid Store the unused fluids during certain operation Still have reserve fluids even when the operations used the maximum amounts (standpipes) Provide some means of checking the fluid level and of being replenish (quantity indicating method dipstick @ remote indicating system)
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 43

HYDRAULICS RESERVOIRS
There are two types of reservoirs: 1. Inline reservoirs 2. Integral reservoirs Both can be further classified as a. Unpressurized (vented) b. Pressurized (closed)
Reservoirs are either vented to the atmosphere or closed to the atmosphere and pressurised.
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 44

1. In-Line Reservoir
Separate components in the hydraulics system Has its own housing. Is a stand alone component and is connected with other components in a system by tubing or hose Can be pressurized or unpressurized

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

45

2. Integral reservoir
Combined with the hydraulic pump. Has no housing of its own but is merely a space set aside within some major component to hold a supply of operational fluid. Often found in small aircraft (due to compact arrangement needed)

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

46

a. Vented Reservoir
Aircraft that fly at lower altitudes have vented reservoirs They have some means of checking fluid quantity: Sight glass Dip stick Quantity transmitter The filler cap of a vented system may be opened while the system is operating Fluid level must be adjusted when the system is at rest

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

47

b. Pressurized Reservoir
High altitude aircraft have pressurised reservoirs (Low Atmospheric pressure) Assure a positive feed of fluid to the pump reduces foaming (Because fluid cannot be pulled, it can only be pushed) Three ways of pressurising a reservoir in flight: using variable displacement hydraulic pumps engine bleed air or by the use of hydraulic system pressure acting on a small piston in the reservoir. Means of checking fluid quantity: Sight glass Quantity transmitter & indicator

1. Micronic Filter (Paper element)


A Micron-type filter uses a folded paper element to increase the effective area of the filtering medium. Bypass valve will open if filter clogs Paper element is not cleanable Located in the return line to the reservoir Can filter out particles as small as 3 m.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

51

2. Micronic Filter (Wire Mesh)


Some filters use woven wire mesh around a central frame More durable than paper type Located in the return line Often used in the pressure system Usually not cleanable.

69

Multiple-Piston pump
Also called Bent axis piston pump A fixed angle piston pump The pistons are caused to move in and out of the cylinder as rotation occurs The housing is angled so that the piston on one side of the cylinder block are at the bottom of their stroke while those on the other side are at the top. One side draw fluid the other one force the fluid out from the cylinder If the cylinder block is parallel to the axis of the drive shaft, no fluid will be delivered, because there will be no movement of the piston

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

70

Variable-Delivery pump
What is a Variable-displacement Pump? A variable displacement pump does not discharge a constant amount of fluid each revolution, but only the amount of

fluid the systems demands

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

71

Cam Type Piston Pump


Operation principle same as Multiple piston pumps However the drive shaft axis is parallel no bent The movement of the piston is caused by a cam or wobble plate

ACTUATORS

Actuator can be commanded by a electrical demand.

mechanical or

This demand moves a valve which allows the hydraulic fluid at pressure to enter the actuator and moves the ram (piston) in either direction A mechanical system can be commanded by direct rod, lever or cable connection from pilot control lever to the actuator (Actuating cylinder type) An electrical system can be commanded by means of a solenoid (switch) or motor which is operated by a pilot switch or by a computer output.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

85

Accumulator
A hydraulic accumulator is an energy storage device. It is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source. That external source can be a spring, a raised weight or a compressed gas. The main reasons that an accumulator is used in a hydraulic systems are so that the pump doesnt need to be so large to cope with extremes of demand, so that the supply circuit can respond more quickly to any temporary demand and to smooth pulsations.
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 86

ACCUMULATOR
A chamber for storing hydraulic fluid under pressure Dampens pressure surges caused by the operation of an actuator Maintains a preset system pressure (in case leaking) Aid the system pump. How? 1. Supplement when several units are operating at the same time & demand beyond capacity. 2. Store power when pump fail to operate (limited)

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

87

Accumulator
Three types off accumulator: 1. Diaphragm Type 2. Bladder type 3. Piston type

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

88

SEALS
Purpose: To prevent leakage and ensure

effective operation

Seal minimize internal linkage and the loss of system pressure (preserve pressure)
because Hydraulics system require various tubing, fittings and seals
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 89

SEAL
Seal minimize internal linkage and the loss of system pressure (preserve pressure)

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

90

SEAL
Classified as : Packings 2. Gaskets

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

91

SEALS (gasket)

Gasket are used when there is no relative movement between surface (such as: engine box) Seal between two stationary parts.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

92

SEALS (Packings)
Provide seal between two parts of a unit that move relative to each other Packings are used when relative movement does exit (moving parts) Installed in most units that contain moving part such as actuating cylinder, valves and pumps.

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

93

SEALS
Typical shapes of Hydraulic Packing Rings: U-ring : Seals pressure in one direction only U-cup-Ring Seals in one direction only V rings (chevron seal) Seals in one direction only, open end of the V facing the pressure
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 94

SEALS

Pressure

Pressure

To prevent a flow from both directions, two sets of seals must be installed Open and facing the direction from which the pressure applied

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

95

O-RING SEAL
The most common type for sealing Effective in both directions Maybe used as either a gasket or a packing This type of seal fits into a groove in one of the surfaces being sealed Required no adjustment when installed

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

96

Installation Precautions (O-Ring Seal)


Always install a new one Use correct size Installed without defects such as cuts, nicks or other flaws. Lubricated with same type of hydraulic fluid used in system Do not installed in a twisted condition (will function incorrectly)
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 97

O-Ring Principle of Operation

Pressure

The O-Ring should be pinched between the two surfaces


Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 98

O-Ring Principle of Operation

If there is no pinch. The O-Ring will not seal

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

99

O-Ring Principle of Operation

Pressure on a properly fitted ring attempts to drive it into the opening between the two surfaces

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

100

O-Ring Principle of Operation

> 15000 psi, O-Ring Seal should not be used alone Too high pressure, seal can become over pinched between the moving part & Stationary part destroy the part Backup seal- usually made of Teflon
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 101

Purpose of Back-up seal

Prevent high pressure from pinching the seal the moving part & stationary part (cylinder wall & piston) Additional strength to seal Back-up ring should be place on the side away from pressure
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 102

Color code (O-Ring)


Colour Blue Dot or strip Green Dash Red Yellow

Use Air or MIL-H-5606 Skydrol hydraulic fluid Fuel system Oil System

Color Code on the O-Ring seal identifies the type of system in which it used Care should be taken installing a new seal Always check the part number Never choose a seal by comparison seals can look alike but may not be Double check by conforming colour code
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 103

O-Ring removal and installation (precautions)


Extreme care must be used to prevent the ring being nicked or damaged Use O-ring installation tools Always lubricate the O-Ring before installation

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

104

Chevron seal (V-Ring)

Installation care same as O-Ring High sufficient pressure in one direction one set sufficient 2 direction require more than one set

This type of seal work effectively in one direction pressure


Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 105

PRESSURE CONTROL DEVICES

Numerous devices Purpose control pressure in hydraulic fluid PCD such as :


1. 2. 3. 4.

Pressure switches Relief valves Pressure regulator Pressure reducing valves


Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 106

Pressure Switches

Electrically operated Electrically control/driven the pumps to maintain system pressure within set limits Pressure correct value, pump stop operation drop, pump operate again Other purpose : to control operation of warning and protective devices warning light when insufficient pressure turn off pump avoid exhausting reservoir Eg: Bourdon tube
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 107

Relief Valves

Purpose ; to limit the maximum pressure can be developed in a hydraulic system Safety valve Pressure relief valves are used as backups to the main pressure regulator Increased pressure unseats the ball allowing pressure to escape (open valve) Adjusting screw increases or decreases the spring pressure on the ball thus adjusting the pressure at which the ball unseats
108

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

Pressure Regulator

Maintains system pressure within a


specific range

pump when it is not needed for operating a unit in the system Also called unloading valve unload the pump when the pressure is not required (continuous pressure can increase the possibility of failure)
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 109

Relieve the pressure on the pressure

Balanced type Pressure Regulator


Keep a balance of pressure between the pump and the accumulator Keeps the pump unloaded when there is no demand Kicked in and kicked out position!!
Ghazirah Binti Mustapha 110

Pressure Reducer
A pressure reducer is used to lower the pressure in specific portion of the hydraulics system To prevent over loading some structures Relieve thermal expansion Pressure reduction is dependent on the size of the bleed hole,
and

the area of the piston relief valve setting

The piston ball remains off its seat just enough to maintain the reduced pressure

Ghazirah Binti Mustapha

111

Pressure Reducer
Has 3 ports: connect with
1. 2. 3.

System pressure System return line Reduced pressure port

Another type of pressure reducer debooster valve Larger area pressure drop!!
