Correlation between Hydraulic Oil Compound and Equipment Energy Efficiency Improvement
What is a hydraulic oil compound additive?
Hydraulic oil compound additives are a type of product formulated through scientific recipe design, combining multiple functional additives in reasonable proportions. They are used to improve the comprehensive performance of hydraulic oil, thereby meeting the various requirements of hydraulic systems under different working conditions, such as lubrication, anti-wear, anti-oxidation, anti-emulsification, and anti-corrosion. As the core power transmission and control unit of industrial equipment, the performance stability and energy efficiency level of hydraulic systems largely depend on the comprehensive quality of hydraulic oil, and hydraulic oil compound additives are the key to enhancing the quality of hydraulic oil.
Currently, the global demand for the performance of hydraulic oil is gradually trending towards energy efficiency, environmental protection, and high efficiency. Especially in high-energy-consuming fields such as construction machinery, metallurgical equipment, injection molding machines, and wind power equipment, the choice of hydraulic oil compound additives directly affects the efficiency and lifespan of the equipment. As a well-known hydraulic oil additive supplier in the industry,UNPChemicals focuses on providing customers with high-quality and high-performance hydraulic oil compound additive products. Among them, representative products include:
High Zinc Hydraulic Oil Additives UNP AH502A: High zinc type hydraulic oil additives, featuring excellent anti-wear and anti-oxidation properties, suitable for hydraulic systems with high load requirements.
Low Zinc Hydraulic Oil Additives UNP AH502B: Low zinc hydraulic oil additives that reduce the potential impact on the environment while ensuring anti-wear performance, making them more in line with the environmental protection trends of modern industry.
Zinc-free Hydraulic Oil Additives UNP AH502C: Zinc-free hydraulic oil additives, combining environmental protection and high efficiency advantages, suitable for equipment and application scenarios with strict environmental protection requirements.
These compound products exert a synergy effect in hydraulic oil, effectively enhancing the anti-wear, cleaning and dispersing, anti-oxidation, and anti-corrosion properties of hydraulic oil, thereby comprehensively improving the energy efficiency performance of hydraulic systems.
Influence of friction coefficient optimization on energy consumption of hydraulic system
A significant portion of the energy consumption in hydraulic systems comes from friction losses. In key components such as hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders, and control valves, sliding friction and fluid friction inevitably result in energy losses. If the lubricating performance of hydraulic oil is insufficient and the friction coefficient is too high, it will lead to:
Energy consumption increases : Friction resistance causes the hydraulic pump to require greater input power to maintain the same output pressure and flow rate.
Excessive temperature rise: Friction losses are converted into heat, accelerating the aging of hydraulic oil and affecting system stability.
Component wear intensifies: High friction coefficient leads to wear on the surface of friction pairs, shortening the lifespan of key components.
Hydraulic oil compound additives effectively reduce energy consumption by optimizing friction characteristics and lowering the friction coefficient. For example, UNPChemicals' high-zinc compound additive UNP AH502A can form a strong anti-wear protective film under high-pressure and high-load conditions, reducing direct contact between metal surfaces, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption and wear. In industrial scenarios with high-frequency usage, the energy consumption reduction achieved through friction coefficient optimization can reach 5%-10%, which has significant economic and environmental benefits for large-scale equipment groups.
Matching relationship between viscosity characteristics and hydraulic pump efficiency
The viscosity of hydraulic oil is an important factor affecting the efficiency of hydraulic pumps. Excessively high viscosity leads to increased flow resistance and a decrease in the volumetric efficiency of the pump; excessively low viscosity makes it difficult to form an effective lubricating film, increasing the risk of pump wear. Therefore, hydraulic oil needs to maintain an appropriate viscosity range under different temperature and load conditions to ensure system efficiency and stability.
The role of hydraulic oil compound additives in viscosity characteristic regulation is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Improve viscosity-temperature characteristics: The viscosity index improver in the compound additive can ensure that the hydraulic oil does not become excessively thin at high temperatures and does not thicken excessively at low temperatures, thereby maintaining stable hydrodynamic performance.
Reduce internal friction losses: By optimizing the rheological properties of hydraulic oil, reduce the internal friction of hydraulic oil in pipelines and pump bodies, and improve the efficiency of hydraulic pumps.
Improve Sealing Performance: Appropriate viscosity helps improve internal leakage in the pump and enhance volumetric efficiency.
Taking UNPChemicals' zinc-free hydraulic oil compound UNP AH502C as an example, this product can improve the viscosity-temperature characteristics of hydraulic oil, enabling the hydraulic system to maintain stable operation over a wide temperature range. This is particularly crucial for equipment that needs to operate in extremely cold or high-temperature environments. For example, in a wind power hydraulic system during cold start, if the oil viscosity is too high, it will seriously affect the starting torque and system response, while optimized hydraulic oil can significantly improve this situation.
Improvement Effect of Compound Agent on the Response Speed of Hydraulic System
The response speed of a hydraulic system is an important indicator for measuring the dynamic performance of equipment. In fields such as construction machinery, injection molding equipment, and numerical control machine tools, the response speed directly affects production efficiency and product quality. The role of hydraulic oil compound additives in improving the system response speed is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Reduce the flow resistance of hydraulic oil: By optimizing friction and viscosity characteristics, the compound additive can reduce the resistance of the oil in pipelines and valve bodies, thereby accelerating the response.
Improve anti-cavitation performance: Anti-cavitation additives can effectively reduce cavitation in hydraulic pumps and pipelines, avoiding response lag caused by bubble retention.
Keep the system clean: The dispersant detergent components can prevent the deposition of sludge and varnish on the surfaces of valve spools and control elements, thereby ensuring the flexible operation of valves.
In practical applications, customer feedback on the use of the low-zinc hydraulic oil compound UNP AH502B provided by UNPChemicals shows that the response speed of equipment has increased by approximately 8%-12%. For example, in injection molding machine applications, the improvement in the response speed of the hydraulic system means faster mold clamping and opening processes, thereby directly shortening the production cycle and increasing production capacity.
Summary
Hydraulic oil compound plays a crucial role in improving the energy efficiency of equipment. By optimizing the friction coefficient, improving viscosity characteristics, and enhancing system response speed, hydraulic oil compound can not only reduce energy consumption but also extend equipment life and improve production efficiency. With the continuous pursuit of energy conservation, emission reduction, and efficient production in the industry, choosing high-quality hydraulic oil compound has become an important way for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness.
