Q

Once the pump has begun to move the fluid in a hydraulic system, what are usually required to control, monitor, and regulate the operation of the system?

A

Valves

24
Q

What valve is incorporated in most hydraulic systems and acts as a safety valve, used to prevent damage to the system in case of over-pressurization?

A

Relief

25
Q

What valve is designed to remove the system load from the pump once system pressure has been reached?

A

Pressure regulating

26
Q

Selector valves may be actuated mechanically, manually, electrically, hydraulically, or what other way?

A

Q

What is the fluid storehouse for the hydraulic system?

A

29
Q

What are incorporated in some Hydraulic systems to store a volume of liquid under pressure for subsequent conversion into useful work or to absorb rapid fluid pulsations when valves are operated repeatedly?

A

Hydraulic accumulators

30
Q

In the separator Type of air-operated accumulator, Armand is provided to separate the gas from the liquid. The three styles of separators are bladder(bag), diaphragm, and what else?
