A Study on Pressure Surge Accompanied by Repeated Valve Operation in Oil Hydraulic Pipeline

유압관로에서 절환밸브 반복조작에 따른 충격압력 발생 현상에 관한 연구

In a large scale oil hydraulic system having repeatedly operated actuator, such as a large scale forging press, pressure surges often due to the recombination of oil column in a return line attached to the downstream side of a directional control valve. Expecially, the pressure surges appear very severe ones at a certain valve operating frequency. These pressure surges restrict the operating frequency of the hydraulic system. But related reports on the above mentioned phenomenon are rarely to be found. In this study, therefore, the authors investigate the exact reason why such severe pressure surges occur at a certain range of valve operating frequency. The study is performed by experiment and numerical computation on the relationship between pressure surges and valve operating frequency.
