Experimental testing of the influence of the operating loading on the flow characteristics of hydraulic pump

The contribution deals with the influence of the operating loading on the flow characteristics of the hydraulic pump under laboratory conditions. In the test, a new toothed hydraulic pump and hydraulic oil with kinematic viscosity at 40 degrees C, v = 64.2 mm(2).s(-1) were used. The operational loading was measured during the most difficult agrotechnical operation - ploughing, at which the loading of the hydraulic pump is the greatest. Laboratory testing was determined for 200 hours, and the flow characteristics had been detected at 50 hours intervals. Measurement of the flow characteristics was performed at rated speed n = 1,000 rpm. Measurement of the flow characteristics was carried out in dependence on the loading pressure from p = 0 MPa to p = 20 MPa. When p = 0 MPa, the value reached n = 91.70% and when p = 20 MPa, n = 86.68%. Running-in of the hydraulic pump lasted 150 hours, with an increase of the flow characteristics Delta eta(v)(ol) = 1.36% (p = 10 MPa) compared to the initial state. After working for 200 hours, the flow rate of the hydraulic pump decreases compared to 150 hours.

Automated summary

This study investigates the influence of operating loading on the flow characteristics of a hydraulic pump under laboratory conditions. Results show that the flow characteristics vary with different pressures.
