Filtration Flow
Filtration Flow
(OP)
I am working on a hydraulic system improvements. My plan is to analyze the filtration system and make some improvements.
Is there any relationship between the filtration flow (sum of flow of each filter in the system) and the total volume of the hydraulic system? If possible send the reference literature.

RE: Filtration Flow
The main funcion of the hydraulic system is to drive four hydraulic intensifiers. Each intensifier has one sub-system and each sub-system there are two main pumps (PF and PV axial piston Vickers pump), one supercharge/pilot oil pump (double vane Vickers pumps), pressure valves, flow valve (for cooling circuit) and directional valves (main directional and pilot oil valve) The subsystems share the same reservoir and the cooling circuit. Each main circuit has 6" ND pipe and work with 2191,6 l/min (~580gpm).
The system is complex and is hard to describe it with (only) words.
If the information above is not enough, some general rule or guideline for filtration (regarding flow and total system volume) would be usefull.
Thank you and regards
