Dissipation of heat from hydraulic systems
Hey all, Thankyou for your insight and responses. @LittleInch, I haven't actually seen a manufacturer put the mech-efficiency in the spec sheets. Maybe i'm not looking hard enough or its just system dependent. The system is near continuous use with short overhauls maybe two a year, it...- subberzz

Dissipation of heat from hydraulic systems
@brianpetersen, so a cooling circuit should be able to remove the total energy input in the form of heat? It was my understanding that if a system is operating at below 90% efficiency it should be taken out of service. For example if 20KW of heat was dissipated from a 100KW system then less than...- subberzz

Dissipation of heat from hydraulic systems
Hey everyone, I want to know what considerations must go into selecting a air-cooled radiator for a open loop hydraulic system. My understanding is the amount of energy put into the system is determined by your prime mover and in this case its a 30KW e-motor. If the pump is a variable...- subberzz
