Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Floating Valve Plate in an Axial Piston PumpDavid W Richardson (6593138) 10 June 2019 (has links)
<p>The valve plate/cylinder block interface in an axial piston
pump is often subject to extreme pressures, which can cause wear of the valve
plate and ultimately, failure of the pump. The purposes of this study were to:
a) experimentally investigate the film thickness generated between a floating
valve plate and cylinder block in situ using proximity probes, b) develop a
model which can predict the motion, film thickness and pressures of the
floating valve plate and corroborate with experimental results, c) investigate
surface pockets to provide additional lubricant at the valve plate interface by
measuring the flow velocities and cavitation areas in a thrust washer bearing,
d) numerically investigate surface modifications of the floating valve plate to
observe any changes in lubricant pressure, temperature, cavitation, or valve
plate deformation. Two different test rigs were designed, developed and used to
investigate the performance of axial piston pumps and surface pockets. The
axial piston pump test rig (APTR) was designed to operate and measure the
steady state conditions of an axial piston pump. The APTR utilizes three
non-contact proximity probes to measure the valve plate motion and film
thickness between the cylinder block at various speeds and pressures. A thrust
washer test rig (TWTR) was developed to measure the cavitation areas and flow
velocities of lubricant in a pocketed thrust washer using μPIV. Through a novel interpolation approach, the depths
of the micro-particles in the bearing pocket were determined using an
analytical model. Using this approach, the μPIV measured 2D velocity field was employed
to develop a 3D velocity field, which illustrates the fluid motion inside a
pocketed thrust bearing at various speeds and viscosities. A dynamic
lubrication model was developed using the thermal Reynolds equation augmented
with the JFO boundary condition and the energy equation to determine the pressure,
cavitation regions and temperature of the lubricant at the valve plate cylinder
block interface. The lubricating pressures were then coupled with the equations
of motion of the floating valve plate to develop a dynamic lubrication model.
The stiffness and damping coefficients of the floating valve plate system used
in the dynamic lubrication model were determined using a parametric study. The
elastic deformation of the valve plate was also considered using the influence coefficient
matrix approach. The
experimental and analytical motion of the valve plate were then corroborated
and found to be in good agreement. 4
and 8 pocket designs were then added as surface modifications to the
floating valve plate in the dynamic lubrication model. The addition of surface
modifications improved the lubricating conditions at the valve plate/cylinder
block interface and resulted in increased minimum film thicknesses and lowered
lubricant temperatures at the same operating conditions.</p>

Comparative Study of Genetic Algorithm Optimized FO-PID and LQR Control Strategies Applied to a Piston Pump in a Volume Calibration System / Jämförande studie av genetisk algoritmoptimerade FOPID och LQR kontrollstrategier tillämpade på en kolvpump i ett volymkalibreringssystemDeif, Yaman January 2023 (has links)
One of the key responsibilities of Getinge's ventilators is to deliver accurate gas volumes to patients. To ensure this precision, specially designed rigid steel tanks are utilized to evaluate the performance and precision of the ventilators in providing exact air volume. The intention of this study is to design and implement a suitable controller for actuating a servo piston pump in order to be used for the tank volume measuring and calibration process. Two controlling strategies were chosen for this purpose: Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID). This work also aimed to establish a narrative of the two controlling strategies after optimizing them using genetic algorithm optimization (GA) and evaluating their effectiveness in controlling a brushless DC motor (BLDC) actuating a servo piston pump. This involved modeling the system in Matlab and Simulink based on the mathematical representations of the system's dynamics, specifically focusing on its pneumatic behavior. The nonlinear model was linearized and served as a basis for the controllers' optimization through the genetic algorithm. Both controller designs were then compared in both the Simulink environment and the actual physical system. The results show that the FOPID exhibits superior performance in the Simulink environment. Contrariwise, the LQR displays a far greater level of superiority in the physical system, whereas the FOPID performance significantly deteriorated upon implementation in the physical system. Furthermore, the study suggests implementing anti-windup techniques and ensuring the accurate digitization of fractional calculus for further research to enhance the performance of the FOPID controller on the physical system. / En av de centrala uppgifterna för Getinges ventilatorer är att leverera exakta gasvolymer till patienter. För att säkerställa denna precision används speciellt designade ståltankar för att bedöma ventilatorernas funktion och precision att leverera exakt luftvolym. Syftet med denna studie är att utforma och implementera en lämplig Styrenhet för att aktivera en servokolvspump som ska användas för tankvolymens mätning och kalibreringsprocess. Två styrstrategier valdes för detta ändamål: Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) och Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID). Arbetet kommer också att syfta till att etablera ett narrativ för de två styrstrategierna efter att ha optimerat dem med genetisk algoritmoptimering (GA) och utvärderat deras effektivitet vid styrning av en borstlös DC-motor som aktiverar en servokolvspump. Detta innefattade modellering av systemet i Matlab och Simulink baserat på de matematiska representationerna av systemdynamiken, med speciellt fokus på dess pneumatiska beteende. Den icke-linjära modellen linjäriserades och fungerade som grund för regulatorernas optimering genom den genetiska algoritmen (GA). Båda regulatorernas utformningar jämfördes sedan både i Simulink-miljön och det fysiska systemet. Resultaten visar att FOPID uppvisar överlägsen prestanda i Simulink-miljön. Å andra sidan visar sig LQR vara överlägsen i det fysiska systemet, medan FOPID-prestandan försämras avsevärt vid implementering i det fysiska systemet. Dessutom föreslår studien att implementera anti-windup-tekniker och säkerställa korrekt digitalisering av fraktionell kalkyl för vidare forskning för att förbättra prestanda för FOPID-regulatorn på det fysiska systemet.

Optimization of Axial Piston Units Based on Demand-driven Relief of Tribological ContactsHaug, Stefan, Geimer, Marcus 27 April 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Markets show a clear trend towards an ever more extensive electronic networking in mobile and stationary applications. This requires a certain degree of electronic integration of hydraulic components such as axial piston pumps. Beside some wellknow approaches, the transmission of axial piston units still is relatively unexplored regarding electronification. Nonetheless there is a quite high potential to be optimized by electronic. In view of this fact, the present paper deals with the tribological contacts of pumps based on a demand driven hydrostatic relief. The contact areas at cylinder - distributor plate, cradle bearing and slipper - swash plate will be investigated in detail and it will be shown how the pump behavior can be improved considerably through a higher level of relief and a central remaining force ratio. The potential of optimization is to improve the efficiency, especially in partial loaded operation, power range, also for multi quadrant operation, precision and stability. A stable lubricating film for slow-speed running and for very high speeds at different pressures is ensured as well.

Tribolayer Formation on Bronze Cu Sn12Ni2 in the Tribological Contact between Cy linder and Cont rol Plate in an Axial Piston Pump with Swashplate DesignPaulus, Andreas, Jacobs, Georg 02 May 2016 (has links) (PDF)
The present study investigates the f ormation of tribolayers on bronze CuSn12Ni2. Two different test rigs are used, of which one is a sliding bearing test rig in order to perform lubricated thrust bearing tests. Bronze CuSn12Ni2 is used for the sliding elements and the counter body is made of C45 steel. In addition to that, an axial piston pump test rig was used to determine t he transfera bility of the results to th e axial pist on pump. The test conditions are set up in a way t hat the tribological load s in the contacts are similar to each other. Changes in the subsurfa ce morphology and the chemical composition of the tribolayer were analysed using electron pro be micro a nalysis (EPMA), trans mission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X -ray spectro scopy (EDS) and X-ra y photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Focused ion beam (FIB) milling was used to prepare site -specific TE M foils fro m the wear track. The formation of a nano scale tribolayer was associat ed with red uced wear, which leads to low leak age in the a xial piston pump. This tribolayer is enriched with oxygen, sulfur and zinc, which is an effect of tribochemical reactions of environment molecules and surface molecules.

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of a TurboPiston PumpKent, Jason A. 14 May 2010 (has links)
The TurboPiston Pump was invented to make use of merits such as, high flow rates often seen in centrifugal pumps and high pressures associated with positive displacement pumps. The objective of this study is to manufacture a plastic model 12†TurboPiston Pump to demonstrate the working principle and a metal prototype for performance testing. In addition, this research includes the study of the discharge valve to estimate the valve closing time and fluid mass being recycled back into the cylinder through hand calculations. Furthermore, a transient simulation was performed in CFD using Fluent to provide a better estimate of what will happen in the actual pump while running. Additionally, an experimental rig was designed to investigate the performance of the first generation valve on the TurboPiston Pump known as the flapper valve. Means to improve the hydrodynamic performance of both valves have been identified for future study.

Condition monitoring of axial piston pumpLi, Zeliang Eric 30 November 2005
<p>Condition Monitoring is an area that has seen substantial growth in the last few decades. The purpose for implementing condition monitoring in industry is to increase productivity, decrease maintenance costs and increase safety. Therefore, condition monitoring can be used not only for planning maintenance but also for allowing the selection of the most efficient equipment to minimize operating costs. </p><p>Hydraulic systems are widely used in industry, aerospace and agriculture and are becoming more complex in construction and in function. Reliability of the systems must be supported by an efficient maintenance scheme. Due to component wear or failure, some system parameters may change causing abnormal behaviour in each component or in the overall circuit. Research in this area has been substantial, and includes specialized studies on artificial fault simulation at the University of Saskatchewan.
In this research, an axial pump was the focus of the study. In an axial piston pump, wear between the various faces of components can occur in many parts of the unit. As a consequence, leakage can occur in locations such as between the valve plate and barrel, the drive shaft and oil wiper, the control piston and piston guide, and the swash plate and slippers. In this study, wear (and hence leakage) between the pistons and cylinder bores in the barrel was of interest. Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, as well as at other research institutions, have been involved in studies to detect wear in pumps using a variety of condition monitoring algorithms. However, to verify the reliability and indeed, limitations of some of the approaches, it is necessary to test the algorithms on systems with real leakage. To introduce actual wear in the piston of pumps can be very difficult and very expensive. Hence, introducing piston wear in an artificial manner would be of great benefit in the evaluation of various condition monitoring techniques.</p><p>Since leakage is a direct consequence of piston wear, it is logical to conclude that varying the leakage in some prescribed manner can be used to artificially simulate wear. A prime concern, therefore, is to be able to precisely understand the dynamic relationships between the wear and leakage and the effect it has on the output flow or pressure waveform from the pump.</p><p>Introducing an artificial leakage to simulate the wear of pistons is a complex task. The creation of an artificial leakage path was not simply a process of providing a resistive short to the tank at the outlet of the pump port as was done in other studies. The objective was to create a leakage environment that would simulate leakage from a single piston (or combination of several pistons thereof). The complexity of the flow and pressure ripple waveforms (which various condition monitoring algorithms did require) was such that a more comprehensive leakage behaviour had to be modeled and experimentally created.
A pressure control servo valve with a very high frequency response was employed to divert the flow from the pump outlet with a prescribed waveform directly to the tank to simulate the piston leakage from the high pressure discharge chamber to the pump case drain chamber as the simulated worn piston made contact with the high pressure chamber. The control algorithm could mimic the action of a single worn piston at various degrees of wear. The experimental results indicated that the experimental system could successfully introduce artificial leakage into the pump which was quite consistent with a unit with a real worn piston. Comparisons of the pressure ripples from an actual faulty pump (worn piston) and the artificial faulty pump (artificial leakage) are presented.</p>

Condition Monitoring Systems for Axial Piston Pumps: Mobile ApplicationsNathan J Keller (8770307) 02 May 2020 (has links)
Condition monitoring of hydraulic systems has become more available and inexpensive to implement. However, much of the research on this topic has been done on stationary hydraulic systems without the jump to mobile machines. This lack of research on condition monitoring of hydraulic systems on mobile equipment is addressed in this work. The objective of this work is to develop a novel process of implementing an affordable condition monitoring system for axial piston pumps on a mobile machine, a mini excavator in this work. The intent was to find a minimum number of sensors required to accurately predict a faulty pump. First, an expert understanding of the different components on an axial piston pump and how those components interact with one another was discussed. The valve plate was selected as a case study for condition monitoring because valve plates are a critical component that are known for a high percentage of failures in axial piston pumps. Several valve plates with various degrees of natural wear and artificially generated damage were obtained, and an optical profilometer was used to quantify the level of wear and damage. A stationary test-rig was developed to determine if the faulty pumps could be detected under a controlled environment, to test several different machine learning algorithms, and to perform a sensor reduction to find the minimum number of required sensors necessary to detect the faulty pumps. The results from this investigation showed that only the pump outlet pressure, drain pressure, speed, and displacement are sufficient to detect the faulty pump conditions, and the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) machine learning algorithms proved to be the least computationally expensive and most accurate algorithms that were investigated. Fault detectability accuracies of 100% were achievable. Next, instrumentation of a mini excavator was shown to begin the next phase of the research, which is to implement a similar process that was done on the stationary test-rig but on a mobile machine. Three duty cycle were developed for the excavator: controlled, digging, and different operator. The controlled duty cycle eliminated the need of an operator and the variability inherent in mobile machines. The digging cycle was a realistic cycle where an operator dug into a lose pile of soil. The different operator cycle is the same as the digging cycle but with another operator. The sensors found to be the most useful were the same as those determined on the stationary test-rig, and the best algorithm was the Fine KNN for both the controlled and digging cycles. The controlled cycle could see fault detectability accuracies of 100%, while the digging cycle only saw accuracies of 93.6%. Finally, a cross-compatibility between a model trained under one cycle and using data from another cycle as an input into the model. This study showed that a model trained under the controlled duty cycle does not give reliable and accurate fault detectability for data run in a digging cycle, below 60% accuracies. This work concluded by recommending a diagnostic function for mobile machines to perform a preprogrammed operation to reliably and accurately detect pump faults.
