Hydraulic Circuits - Identification of Components and Analysis (Industrial Hydraulic Book Series (in the English Units))

The textbook entitled ‘Hydraulic Circuits - Identification of Components and Analysis’ is a comprehensive account of hydraulic circuits employed in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. The book is designed with more figures but less text. It contains more than 195 striking figures detailing symbolic representations of hydraulic components and a variety of typical hydraulic circuits spread across 18 impressive chapters. Most of the circuits are presented in multiple positions, with colored fluid flow and electric current paths, and attention-driving details. The sequences of chapters and circuits are the near best and the language of the book is simple and easy to follow. Each chapter presents circuits from simple to complex levels. Only relevant symbols are portrayed chapter-wise for reducing complexity and quick understanding. Most of the symbols used are as per ISO 1219. The well-developed chapters include many circuits of conventional hydraulic systems for direction, flow, and pressure controls. The book also includes circuits for systems with accumulators, multiple actuators for series/parallel connections, hydrostatic transmissions (HSTs), variable-displacement pumps, load sensing elements, proportional valves, servo valves, cartridge valves, and pressure intensifiers. Further, the book covers circuits for practical reservoir controls and application-specific systems like hydraulic presses, cranes and winches, molding machines, excavators, and windmills. The layouts of the circuits in the initial chapters are selected for academic purposes for easy and systematic learning. At the end of the book, many industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits, with typical layouts found in practical applications, are given for a deeper understanding of real-world hydraulic circuits. The book is specially meant for professionals who are dealing with hydraulic systems for some time but are confused with hydraulic symbols, circuits, and systems. This book is written with the main objective of assisting hydraulic professionals in identifying components, and tracing and analyzing hydraulic circuits. They can systematically learn the critical points in simple or complex hydraulic circuits. New entrants in the hydraulic field also can refer to this book for a systematic study of industrial and mobile hydraulics. The reader can build up a strong foundation for circuit ideas and may apply these ideas to a hydraulic application taking into account the operating and environmental conditions, the orientation of the actuators, the type of materials used, and many supplementary factors. The color book is developed with many unique features like circuits with multiple positions and attention-seeking remarks for easy learning, quick identification of symbols of hydraulic components, and accurate tracing and analyzing of hydraulic circuits. An added advantage is that the entire range of hydraulics circuits is available in one book. This book is a powerful resource for learning hydraulic circuits for dealing with more extensive circuits in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems easily, quickly, and confidently. The book assists the reader in exploring and understanding the differentiating characteristics of various types of hydraulic circuits for confidently dealing with hydraulic systems.
