Learning Outcomes

After the course the student has general perspective for applying sustainable solutions in design of fluid power systems. The objective of the course is to awaken students for using sustainable solutions in design and to offer basic tools for application of environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids, energy efficient solutions, system life cycle management, leakage management, noise control and safe design solutions.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Environmentally friendly hydraulics fluids; their use and compatibility  Ecology of fluids, vegetable oils, ester based hydraulic fluids, synthetic hydrocarbons  Chemical properties of different fluids 
2. Water-based hydraulic fluids; their use and compatibility   Water as a pressure medium in hydraulic systems; additives  Structures and properties of emulsions and water-glycols 
3. Energy efficient solutions in hydraulics; basic solutions, more advanced solutions  Energy recovery systems  Defining energy balance, special systems 
4. Minimizing leakages, different sealing systems  Special sealings  Dimensioning of sealing systems 
5. Noise control of hydraulic systems  Noise attenuation  Pressure pulsation attenuation 
6. Condition monitoring of hydraulic systems  System level condition monitoring; system life cycle management  Fault analysis 
7. Basic safety solutions in hydraulic systems  Safety in design  System design 

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes

Evaluation is made according to written final exam. When the student has adopted the core content well, it is possible to get grade 3. To reach grade 4 the student must also adopt complementary knowledge issues. The get grade 5 the student must also adopt specialist knowledge issues. If there is minor shortages is core content, the studen has possibility get grade 1 or 2. If there are major shortages is core content, the student will not pass the course.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
