Keywords: drive characteristics | efficiencies of rotary hydraulic motor | valve control | mathematical model of drive | hydraulics

The paper describes the analysis of a valve control of a drive with a rotary hydraulic motor. The valve control is realized by a throttle valve. The individual drive characteristics are measured on the experimental device, i.e. the control and the torque-speed characteristics. The experimentally determined characteristics are compared to the theoretically calculated characteristics. Subsequently, the ef (…)

TEST OF DOORS OBSTRUCTION DETECTION SENSOR

Lukas Dvorak, Kamil Fojtasek, Miroslav Krajca, Miroslav Bova
Keywords: train | entrance door | safety | obstruction detection | pneumatic valve | Acid Pickling Lines

In bus and train transport there are a number of requirements for the safety of the entrance door. For example there are requirements to provide obstruction detection within the door system. This should reverse the movement of the door should a passenger or some other obstruction restrict the doors operation. In case the door movement is realized by a pneumatic cylinder, obstruction detection can be ach (…)

MULTIPHASE FLUID MODELS TO DEAL WITH FLUID FLOW DYNAMICS

Milada Kozubkova, Jana Jablonska, Marian Bojko, Lukas Dvorak, Maria Carnogurska
Keywords: multiphase fluid models | modulus of elasticity | density of compressible liquid | fluid dynamics | cfd

When dealing with dynamic issues, we often encounter problems of hydraulic shock (water hammer) and cavitation causing distortion of the surrounding material, destruction of material, accompanied by sounds and vibrations. These dynamic behavior of the liquids is due to the presence of gases in the liquid, especially air, vapor and possibly other gases in smaller quantities. The density of such a liquid (…)
