Industrial Oil Hydraulics

This fascinating branch of engineering is a practical application oriented topic. Many universities/colleges and vocational training institutes have included this subject in their programs. This book attempts to present this subject in a simple manner so that even others who have not enrolled in any formal program can study and understand the concept and its applications. Each chapter structured to begin with the learning objectives and at the end a brief ‘points to recall’ for the learners to assimilate their own understanding /recapitulation. The book starts with the concepts of (oil) hydraulics. Then, the hydraulic elements, their functions and applications are introduced. Building hydraulic circuits using these elements is explained clearly in the chapters that follow. The book also contains number of circuits for different industrial applications- how to read and understand them.

The author had over 15 years of practical experience in this particular field of engineering, while he promoted and managed two Engineering companies - Flowlines Engineering Pvt.Ltd and then Sea Hydropower Engineering. (along with his erstwhile partner, Mr.P.K.Mukherjee.Both companies were involved in manufacturing Pneumatic control panels and Hydraulic power packs and hydraulic and Pneumatic cylinders. Subsequently, the author divested his interest in these companies and took up teaching engineering subjects to higher education students.The author has also written Pneumatics and Pneumatic circuits and the same is available on Kindle books platform of Amazon.

Fluid power now a day’s becoming more popular and acceptable with improvements in various processes due to automation. Branches of fluid power Hydraulic & Pneumatic are gaining more importance in academic as well ass industry. Every diploma engineer must have basic knowledge abut different components of Hydraulic & Pneumatic with their construction working so they must be able to design simple systems as well as carry out maintenance of system. This book based on whole to part approach includes introduction to general layouts of Hydraulic & Pneumatic and then covering each components in detail. Mathematical part is purposefully avoided as it focuses mainly on working and intended for diploma students. Language of description is kept simple and only relevant information has been included. Main contents are Introduction to Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems, Pumps and Actuators, Control Valves, Compressor, pneumatic components and accessories in fluid system, Oil hydraulic circuits and Pneumatic Circuits. Last part includes Hydro pneumatic applications, Simple Electro circuits, Remedies and fault detection in Pneumatic circuit Maintenance of Hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Figure/sketches are provided with simple layout so that construction and working can be easily understood. I recommend this book as a text book for course Industrial fluid power or Industrial Hydraulics and Pneumatics mainly included in curriculum of Diploma in Mechanical, Automobile, production Engineering. Technical specifications of components such as pump, compressor, and valves are also mentioned in description like working pressure range, flow rate. It covers almost all the basic components used in fluid power system.
