Hydraulic power, also called Fluid Power, is power transmitted by the controlled circulation of pressurized fluid, usually a water-soluble oil or water-glycol mixture, to a motor that converts it into a mechanical output capable of doing work on a load.
Hydraulic power systems have greater flexibility than mechanical and electrical systems and can produce more power than such systems of equal size.
They also provide rapid and accurate responses to controls.
Hydraulic power systems are extensively used in modern aircraft, automobiles, heavy industrial machinery, and many kinds of machine tools.
2. THE MODERN SCENARIO
Indian cities are developing like concrete jungles with large building complexes and
high-rise construction becoming the order of the day.
This naturally gives rise to huge parking area requirements which are impossible given
the scarcity of space and high cost of urban real estate.
So how do we accommodate more cars in minimum space? The automated multi-
level car parking system emerges as a viable and apt solution.
Multi-level car parking systems come in different varieties: stacked car parking,
puzzle car parking, tower parking, and more. These car parking systems use either an
electric motor or a hydraulics mechanism to lift and move cars from the entry level to
the vacant space on the upper level.
3. WHAT EXACTLY IS HYDRAULIC POWER?
Hydraulic power, also called Fluid Power, is power transmitted by the controlled
circulation of pressurized fluid, usually a water-soluble oil or water-glycol mixture, to
a motor that converts it into a mechanical output capable of doing work on a load.
Hydraulic power systems have greater flexibility than mechanical and electrical
systems and can produce more power than such systems of equal size.
They also provide rapid and accurate responses to controls.
Hydraulic power systems are extensively used in modern aircraft, automobiles, heavy
industrial machinery, and many kinds of machine tools.
4. Hydraulic Car Parking Systems are multi-level parking systems that use
hydraulics to lift and lower the cars within the automated car parking system.
The driver leaves the car inside an entrance area and technology parks the
vehicle at a designated area. Hydraulic car lifters raise the vehicle to another
level for proper storing.
The vehicle can be transported vertically (up or down) and horizontally (left
and right) to a vacant parking space until the car is needed again.
When the vehicle is needed, the process is reversed and the car lifts transport
the vehicle back to the same area where the driver left it.
In some cases, a turntable may be used to position the car so that the driver
can conveniently drive away without the need to back up.
WHAT ARE HYDRAULIC CAR PARKING SYSTEMS?
5. Other than the most obvious benefit of more parking spaces in a limited footprint
thereby saving valuable real estate, hydraulic car parking systems offer many
advantages. These include:
• Less construction time and cost
• Better security because patrons do not walk to and from their space
• High parking efficiency
• No driving while searching for an available space = reduced emissions
• Patrons wait for their car in a controlled environment
• Less potential for vehicle vandalism & theft
• Minimal staff needed if used by familiar parkers
• Retrieval time can be less than the combined driving-parking-walking time in
conventional parking structures
• Eliminates the need for valet parking
• Reduces the competition for the best spaces.
