Detailing the major developments of the last decade, the Handbook
of Hydraulic Fluid Technology, Second Edition updates the original
and remains the most comprehensive and authoritative book on the
subject. With all chapters either revised (in some cases,
completely) or expanded to account for new developments, this book
sets itself apart by approaching hydraulic fluids as a component of
a system and focusing on key technological aspects. Written by
experts from around the world, the handbook covers all major
classes of hydraulic fluids in detail, delving into chemistry,
design, fluid maintenance and selection, and other key concepts. It
also offers a rigorous overview of hydraulic fluid technology and
evaluates the ecological benefits of water and its use as an
important alternative technology. This complete overview discusses
pumps and motors, valves, and reservoir design, as well as fluid
properties and associated topics. These include air entrainment,
modulus, lubrication and wear assessment by bench and pump testing,
biodegradability, and fire resistance. Contributors also present
particularly important material on biodegradable fluids and the use
of water as a hydraulic fluid. As the foremost resource on the
design, selection, and testing of hydraulic systems and fluids used
in engineering applications, this book contains new illustrations,
data tables, and practical examples, all updated with essential
information on the latest methods. To streamline presentation,
relevant content from the first edition has been integrated into
this new version, where appropriate. The result is a reference that
helps readers develop an unparalleled understanding of the total
hydraulic system, including essential hardware, fluid properties,
and hydraulic lubricants.
