Role and Operation of the Hydraulic Tank in Hydraulic Systems
One of the essential components of hydraulic systems is the hydraulic tank, which stores hydraulic oil and plays a fundamental role in the efficient operation of the equipment. This component ensures that the required amount of fluid is always available, maintaining the appropriate level and pressure.
The smooth flow of oil is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of the system. The hydraulic tank is also important as it allows contaminants and air bubbles in the fluid to settle, ensuring a cleaner and smoother flow within the system.
In our webshop, you can find all necessary accessories for hydraulic tanks to ensure proper operation.
Design of the Hydraulic Tank
Hydraulic tanks are designed to withstand the pressure, temperature fluctuations, and other physical effects present in the system. Different models are available with varying strengths and functions to suit specific applications.
Two main categories can be distinguished: closed and open tanks. Additionally, there are differences in shape and size, allowing selection of a component that matches the unique needs of the equipment.
The Jolly aluminum hydraulic tank, with a 200-liter capacity, is particularly effective for larger hydraulic equipment.
Closed and Open Hydraulic Tanks
Closed models are ideal for hermetically sealed systems, as they isolate the oil and air inside the tank from the external environment, preventing contamination and condensation.
Open tanks, on the other hand, typically have ventilation openings and are equipped with filters to minimize the risk of contamination.
In specific cases, temperature regulation of the fluid may be required, in which case tanks with cooling fins are used.
Maintenance and Operating Tips for Hydraulic Tanks
Regular maintenance of hydraulic system tanks is crucial for long lifespan and reliable operation. Keeping the component clean and changing the fluid regularly contributes to efficient operation. Contaminated or worn oil reduces performance and can damage components. Regular inspection and replacement of filters are also essential.
Proper ventilation and cooling should also be prioritized. During operation, the oil temperature increases, and once it surpasses a certain level, it negatively affects oil viscosity, thereby impacting system efficiency.
Some modern hydraulic tanks are equipped with intelligent sensors that can monitor temperature changes and track oil levels, supporting safe and efficient operation.
Using the correct quality and type of hydraulic tank is essential for reliable and efficient system operation, as it plays a vital role in ensuring that the equipment has the necessary quantity and quality of hydraulic fluid during operation.
