Third Year Millwright Hydraulics Flashcards
Flow control valves control:
speed
Pressure Control valves control:
force
Flow control valves can be either:
compensated or non-compensated
Flow control valves can be used for:
metering
Needle Valves include a:
fixed orifice
Compensated control valves:
adjust for pressure and temperature changes
When fluid gets hot it becomes less viscous, therfore it may be best to use a:
Compensated needle valve
A hydraulic vane motor without springs would never
get started, the springs are necessary to hold out the vanes against the stator.
If the veins are non metallic, the vane compressor does not need
oil in the stator (dry compressor)
of vanes x max volume between vanes x number of vanes =
Maximum Displacement
Increasing RPM on a Vane Compressor
Increases Output
In a vacuum pump situation, the discharge is:
exhaust
Liquid Ring compressors offer:
cool, clean, pulse free air with little vibration
Are reservoirs obligatory on Rotary Compressors:
No, they run for extended periods of time and can provide output when needed downstream
The minimum pressure valve sends a signal to the compressor to:
start up
The more open the inlet valve, the more:
volume is delivered
The butterfly valve is involved in:
modulation control
The oil bypass valve senses oil is:
cold, so it keeps it in the sump until it warms up from discharge pressure
The safety relief valve is used when:
there is a stuck minimum pressure valve or blocked labyrinth passages
Bearing Carriers:
Locate the rotor(s) in the correct position
Holes drilled in Vanes decrease:
the weight
When the compressor is not running, the oil level in the separator is:
high
Vane compressors can overheat from:
running too much
metering in can cause
cavitation
If a meter valve is placed before the directional valve then:
both directions are metered
meter in and meter out do not control
pressure, they only control flow
pumps can produce flow, but not
pressure
in a stack valve the pressure relief valve should be placed closest to the
subplate
System for stack valves:
ISO
If a stack valve needs to be able to handle higher pressure, a higher:
flow capability is needed
cartridge valve advantage:
are less expensive
Screw in Cartridge valves are good for:
30-35 GPM
