3 Chapter 5 6. Select the reservoir and associated plumbing, including piping, valving, filters and strainers, and other miscellaneous components such as accumulators. 7. Consider factors such as noise levels, horsepower loss, need for a heat exchanger due to generated heat, pump wear, and scheduled maintenance service to provide a desired life of the total system. 8. Calculate the overall cost of the system. Normally the sequence of operation is repeated several times with different sizes and types of components. After the procedure is repeated for several alternative systems, the best overall system is selected for the given application.this process is called optimization. It means determining the ultimate selection of a combination of system components to produce the most efficient overall system at minimum cost commensurate with the requirements of a particular application PUMP PERFORMANCE RATINGS IN METRIC UNITS Performance data for hydraulic pumps are measured and specified in metric units as well as English units. Figure 5-39 shows actual performance data curves for a variable displacement, pressure-compensated vane pump operating at 1200 rpm. The curves give values of flow rate (gpm), efficiency, and power (hp and kw) versus output pressure (psi and bars). This particular pump (see Figure 5-39) can operate at speeds between 1000 and 1800 rpm, is rated at 2540 psi (175 bars), and has a nominal displacement volume of 1.22 in 3 (20 cm 3 or 0.02 L). Although the curves give flow rates in gpm, metric flow rates of liters per minute (Lpm) are frequently specified. EXAMPLE 5-9 A pump has a displacement volume of 100 cm 3. It delivers m 3 /s at 1000 rpm and 70 bars. If the prime mover input torque is 120 N m, a. What is the overall efficiency of the pump? b. What is the theoretical torque required to operate the pump? Solution a. Using Eq. (5-2M), where the volumetric displacement is we have V D 100 cm 3 >rev a 1 m 100 cm b m 3 >rev Q T V D N m 3 >rev2 a rev>sb m3 >s Next, solve for the volumetric efficiency: h y Q A % Q T

EXAMPLE 5-10 The pump in Example 5-9 is driven by an electric motor having an overall efficiency of 85%. The hydraulic system operates 12 hours per day for 250 days per year. The cost of electricity is $0.11 per kilowatt hour. Determine a. The yearly cost of electricity to operate the hydraulic system b. The amount of the yearly cost of electricity that is due to the inefficiencies of the electric motor and pump Solution a. First, we calculate the mechanical input power the electric motor delivers to the pump. Per Eq. (3-37), we have Pump input power 1kW2 T A 1N # m2 N 1rpm kw Next, we calculate the electrical input power the electric motor receive: Electric motor input power Since the electric motor output power equals the pump input power we have Electric motor input power Finally, we determine the yearly cost of electricity: yearly cost power rate time per year unit cost of electricity 14.8 kw 12 hr days $ $4884>yr day year kw hr b. The total kw loss equals the kw loss due to the electric motor plus the kw loss due to the pump. Thus, we have Total kw loss kw Electric motor output power Electric motor overall efficiency 12.6 kw kw 193

This also means that only 71% of the electrical power entering the electric motor is transferred into hydraulic power at the pump outlet port KEY EQUATIONS Gear pump volumetric displacement: V D p 4 1D2 o D 2 i 2L (5-1) Theoretical flow rate of a pump (flow rate a no-leak pump would deliver): English or metric units: Q T V D N (5-2) English units: Q T 1ft 3 >min2 V D 1ft 3 >rev2 N 1rev>min2 (5-2) Special English Q T 1gpm2 V D 1in 3 >rev2 N 1rpm2 (5-2) units: 231 Q T 1m 3 >min2 V D 1m 3 >rev2 N 1rev>min2 (5-2M) Pump volumetric efficiency: h y Q A Q T (5-3) Vane pump volumetric V D p (5-4) displacement: 2 1D C D R 2eL Piston pump volumetric V D Y AD tan 1u2 (5-5) displacement: 194
