A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device that converts

mechanical power to hydraulic energy.

It performs two functions;
-Its mechanical action creates vacuum at pump inlet
-The mechanical action creates vacuum at pump inlet
The pump does not generate pressure and only produce
liquid movement.
To operate pressure compensated vane pump
To investigate time required to fill with different
pressure.
To learn about the concept of hydraulic power
transmission
To show the relationship between flow rate Q,
pressure P, of pressure compensated vane pump
The oil flow rate in measuring glass can be calculated
by using;
Q= v/t

Where; Q= Vd x N

The hydraulic power transmission between pump and
motor can be
calculated by;
P = p x Q
Hydraulic power transmission = Pp x Pp = Pm x Pm
where;
Qp = Qm = system flow rate

1) Assemble the circuit correctly and make sure that the connecting
nose fit properly

2) Use the flow control valve, v1 as a load simulator. It will simulate the
loading condition

3) For part A of the experiment, close shuttle v2, v5 and open shuttle
valve v4 and v6. The flow control v1 is set to fully open.

4) Switch on the pump

5) Set the system pressure for 15 bars by turning the knob of the flow
control valve v1 to close

6) Close the shut off valve v6 below the measuring glass. Record the
time required to fill in about one liter of oil in the measuring glass.
7) Switch of the pump. Open shuttle v6 to drain out the oil from the
measuring glass

8) Repeat steps 4 to 6 for higher pressure. Record any pressure
increase in the system by using pressure gage P1.

9) The pressure gage P1 will show a maximum pressure of the
hydraulic system. Record the maximum pressure

10) Switch off the pump and prepare the report.

1) Assemble the circuit correctly and make sure that the connecting
hose fit properly

2) Use flow control valve, V1 as the speed controller for hydraulic
motor. It must be set fully open for hydraulic motor maximum
rotational speed.

3) Close shuttle v4, v6 and open shuttle valve v2 and v5.

4) Switch on the pump. The hydraulic motor should start to rotate.

5) Set the pressure gage p1 for 15 bar by turning the knob of the
pressure relief valve v1.

FLOW RATE AGAINST
PRESSURE
GRAPH OF PUMP
PERFORMANCE
As the pressure increases, the time taken to fill the cylinder is shorter
and the flow rate is increasing.
As the pressure increases, the power of the pump is increasing.
There are some different in the graph lines pattern and do not follows the
expected pattern before.
This is due to the apparatus error. For instance, during pump
performance curve experiment, it took the longest time to fill the oil in
the cylinder for pressure 50 bars. Supposedly, as the pressure increases,
the time taken should be shorter.
Besides, the pump stop working as the pressure is set to 50 bars. Hence,
the measurement could not be conducted and stopped at 45 bars.
Other errors are human error and parallax error while conducting the
experiment.
The objective of the experiment is achieved
which are
-to operate pressure compensated valve.
-to investigate time required to fill the tank
with different pressure.
-to learn about the concept of hydraulic
power transmission.
-to show the relationship between flow rate
and pressure of
compensated vane pump.
The graph of pump performance curve is
slightly different due to some errors which
are parallax error, human error and
equipment error.
