Abstract
The article presents a proposal to reduce energy consumption in a hydraulic system with a single pump and multiple receivers. The proposed Load-Sensing Basic (LSB) solution consists of expanding a typical hydraulic system by using additional logic valves and a dedicated differential valve. The modification is aimed at decrease in operating pressure and, thus, reduction in energy consumption. The LSB system is compact as all components are built on a single ISO plate. A detailed mathematical model of the system was formulated, then a simulation model was built and numerical tests were carried out in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The obtained results indicate that the use of the proposed LSB system for the implementation of typical working cycles with three actuators may reduce energy consumption by 4–30%, and under certain conditions even up to 70%.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
