2. •FLUID SYSTEM is defined as the device in which power
transmitted with the help of a fluid which which may be
liquid (water or oil) or a gas (air) under pressure .Most of
these devices are based on the principles of fluid statics and
fluid kinematics .
•DEVICES BASED ON FLUID SYSTEM :-
Hydraulic Accumulator
Hydraulic Intensifier
Hydraulic Ram
Hydraulic Lift
Hydraulic Crane
3. Accumulator Functions
Energy Storage
Stabilize Pump Pulsation
Stabilize Load Shocks
StoreVolumeUnderPressure
For High Volume Demands
Hydraulic Accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which a
non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an
external source. The external source can be a spring, a raised weight,
or a compressed gas.

5. HYDRAULIC INTENSIFIER
A device which is used to increase the
intensity of pressure of water by means of
hydraulic energy available from large
amount of water at a low pressure is called
the hydraulic intensifier.
Such a device is needed when the
hydraulic machines such as hydraulic press
requires at very high pressure which cannot
be obtained from the main supply directly.
7. HYDRAULIC RAM
The hydraulic ram is a pump which raises water
without any external power for its operation.
When large quantity of water is available at a
small height a small quantity of water can be
raised to a greater height with help of a hydraulic
ram.
It works on the principle of water hammer
9. Parts of a Hydraulic Ram
Air chamber
Impulse valve
Body
Feet
Delivery pipe stub
Delivery valve
Drive pipe stub
Air snifter
Different forms, same substance
10. • W=weight of water flowing per second into chamber
• W=weight of water raise per second
• h=height of water in supply tank above chamber
• H=height of water raised from chamber
Energy supply by tank to ram =W×h
Energy delivered by ram =w×H
Efficiency of hydraulic ram
η=energy delivered by ram/energy supplied to ram
=w×H/W×h
Efficiency of Hydraulic Ram
11. HYDRAULIC LIFT
• The hydraulic lift is a device used for carrying
passenger or goods from one floor to another
in multistoryed building.
• Types of hydraulic lift:-
• Direct acting hydraulic lift
• Suspended hydraulic lift
12. Direct acting hydraulic lift:- It consist of a ram
sliding in fix cylinder . At the top of sliding ram a cage is
fitted. The liquid under pressure flows into a fix cylinder.
The liquid exerts force on the sliding ram which moves
vertically up and thus raise the cage to the required height.
14. It is a device used for raising or
transferring heavy loads.
It can be used up to loads 2500 KN
It is widely used in loading and unloading
ships,workshopes, warehouses and dock
sidings.
