Liquids physical properties, characteristics and parameters, density, viscosity, compressibility. Temperature effect on parameters. The flow in pipes, cavitation, losses of hydra pressure, hydraulic strike, compensators. Liquid mechanics. Hydrostatics. pressure measurement. Hydrokinetics (the Law of Flow and flow types). flow measurement. Type and structure of the hydraulic system, hydro chain, hydro lines, hydraulic equipment. Energy transforming, control and transmission. Installation of the elements. The connection principles of compression hoses. Filters, liquids and their compatibility with different materials, resistance to temperature variations, filtering. The most common liquids. Pumping equipment. Cylinders and motors. The pressure limiters. Direction controllers (hydro splitters). Pressure controllers. Flow controllers. Flow limiters. Hydro accumulators, hydraulic amplifiers, the transformation of force and pressure. Generation of hydraulic pressure. Static loading control. Variable load management. Hydraulic speed control.

The main objective of the course is to provide knowledge about units used in hydro automation, theoretical and practical background of hydraulics, working safety, hydraulic systems in general, directional valves used in hydraulic systems, flow regulating valves, pressure regulating valves and about the main symbols and standard.

The graduate is familiar with the classification and structure of hydraulic systems, characteristics of liquids, hydraulic components, their construction and operation principles, the pressure generating causes. The graduate is able to put together control schemes, select necessary components based on predetermined conditions, install hydraulic components, execute flow and pressure measuring and follow safety standards.

Lectures, tests, practical works.

The course ends with the final account. Positively executed test and practical work are the prerequisites of the accounting. Test consists written questions within the framework of the lecture material. The final grade will turn out from the average grades of the test and the practical work.
