The Hydraulic Intensifier is used to increase the intensity of pressure of water by means of hydraulic energy available from a large amount of water at low pressure for the hydraulic press. Let us discuss the construction and working principle of the Hydraulic Intensifier. Fluid Systems A fluid system is defined as a device in […]

What is a Hydraulic Accumulator used for?
The hydraulic accumulator is a device used for storing the energy of a liquid in the form of pressure energy, which may be supplied for any sudden or intermittent requirement. In the case of a hydraulic lift or hydraulic crane, a large amount of energy is required when the lift or crane is moving upward. […]
How to calculate the Weight lifted by Hydraulic Press?
The hydraulic press is a device used for lifting heavy weights by the application of a much smaller force. It is based on Pascal’s law, which states that the intensity of pressure in a static fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. Let us discuss How we can calculate the Weight lifted by the hydraulic […]
Importance of Air Vessels In Reciprocating Pump
Air Vessels are mainly used to maintain uniform discharge in the operation of reciprocating pumps. An air vessel is a cast iron closed chamber that stores compressed air from the reciprocating pumps. an Air Vessel is an intermediate reservoir to store energy. Inside the Air vessels, the top portion is filled with air and the bottom […]
What is Reciprocating Pump Indicator Diagram?
An Indicator diagram is a graph between the pressure versus the length of the stroke in reciprocating cylinders. The Reciprocating Pump Indicator Diagram will help us understand the relationship between the pressure head in the cylinder and the distance travelled by the piston from the inner dead centre for one complete revolution of the crank. […]
How to calculate the Maximum Speed of a Reciprocating Pump?
The hydraulic machines, which convert the hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, are called turbines while the hydraulic machines which convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy are called pumps. Hydraulic energy is in the form of pressure energy. If the mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid, […]
