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. After the course, students are expected to:
- be able to analyse and discuss fluid power systems with respect to performance, power consumption and controllability.
- Be able to apply static calculations of fluid power components and systems.
- have knowledge about component functions and component characteristics in the field of fluid power.
- be able to describe a fluid power system through text and images in a report.
- have knowledge of measurements on components and systems.
