Prel. scheduled hours: 60
Rec. self-study hours: 100

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The object of this course is to give knowledge about components and systems for fluid transfer of energy and control principles for fluid power systems. The knowledge aims for the course are:
  • to convey profound knowledge about component functionality and characteristics in the area of Hydraulic and pneumatic energy transformation.
  • to give knowledge about system design and calculation methods.
  • to convey profound knowledge about control principals with respect to controllability and energy consumption.
  • to give insight in measurement methods and computer usage for system analyses.

The skill aims for the course are:
  • be able to analyse fluid power systems with respect to performance, controllability and energy consumption.
  • be able to apply calculation methods for component selections and system design.
  • be able to perform measurements on components and systems.
