Hydraulic systems are prone to overheating. However, systems that often experience continuous overheating problems will eventually fail, so you must be vigilant about this. Here are some common causes of hydraulic system overheating and the measures you can take. This articleZhongyou Heavy IndustryThree common causes of hydraulic system overheating and preventive measures.
1. your hydraulic system is out of balance:
If you want to keep the hydraulic system efficient, the components of the hydraulic system must work in coordination. Changes and adjustments to the hydraulic system may cause the system to lose balance and overheat.
Many people seek to adjust their hydraulic systems to make them perform a little more, and adjustment is not always a problem. Sometimes, some applications need to be adjusted. However, if you are not sure what you are doing, you should not adjust your hydraulic system.
The increase in system pressure caused by adjusting the pump compensator is a common adjustment that causes overheating. When adjusting the set value of the pump compensator, many people never adjust the set value of the safety valve at the same time.
When the pump compensator setting value matches or exceeds the safety valve setting value, the safety valve will open and discharge excess heat into the system. The compensator cannot do its job, and all the released energy will return to the fuel tank instead of being flow-regulated.
Other attempts to change system pressure can also lead to poor flow management and overheating. You can increase the system pressure, but only by using the method recommended by the designer or manufacturer and within the recommended psi range.
2. your upgrade doesn't work well with your system:
Many different upgrade and adjustment methods can be used for hydraulic systems, and many users will invest in upgrades to ensure greater flow and speed. The problem with these upgrades is that they are not always suitable for the applied hydraulic system.
Because everything needs to be balanced, you must make sure that your upgrade matches your entire hydraulic system. For example, high-flow pumps help improve the performance of hydraulic systems, but have you also checked whether the hoses and pipes of the system can handle the increase in flow?
The increased flow may hit your small hoses hard, requiring more pressure to pass through them. This applies to any part of the hydraulic system that cannot handle more flow.
If a component becomes a flow throttle, the increase in field pressure will cause the overall pressure drop of the system. In addition, the energy required for forced flow will be directly converted into an increase in heat, thereby reducing the efficiency and efficiency of the system.
When upgrading, also determine whether other components need to be changed. In the example of a high-flow pump, you can simply increase the size of your hose, which makes everything different.
3. your system components need to be replaced or serviced:
The wear of hydraulic system components can cause overheating in various ways, and some overheating problems are directly due to the lack of maintenance of the hydraulic system. For example, debris buildup in the system can produce heat buildup.
A faulty heat exchanger also has the ability to keep the system hot when it shouldn't be hot. Have you checked your fluid? Low oil or the wrong type of oil can also cause overheating.
These are all types of problems that arise in the daily maintenance and maintenance of hydraulic systems, which also means that these are usually the easiest things to deal.
However, other hydraulic system problems may also cause overheating, and some solutions to overheating problems may require major changes to the hydraulic system. If the culprit of system overheating is not obvious, then ask professional service personnel to check and repair your system.
