1. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Hydraulic system:
A industrial hydraulic system is fluid circuit based on hydrostatic principle that uses
pressurized hydraulic fluid to power hydraulic machinery.
There are 2 types of hydraulic circuits used in fluid power applications.
Open Loop Circuits:
These are circuits where the inlet of hydraulic pump and the actuator(or valve)
return are connected to a hydraulic reservoir.
Closed Loop Circuits:
These are circuits where the motor return is connected directly to the hydraulic
pump inlet .
2. • Hydraulic system installed in gasification unit is Open Loop Circuits supplied by
M/s Rexroth.
• Hydraulic system in unit-3 is divided into 3 verticals
