| Summary: | Pressure intensifiers have their utilization in hydraulic circuits, when there is a need for pressure multiplication for some period of time. Using intensifiers provides energy savings, cost reductions or smaller dimensioning. This article is about a pressure intensifier based on rotary flow dividers. Its functioning is evaluated by its pressure-multiplying efficiency. This efficiency is always calculated from values gained from measurements. However, it would be very convenient to be able to evaluate these types of intensifiers without a need to provide specific measurements for every type of intensifier and rather calculate their efficiency using the general parameters of a hydraulic circuit. Therefore, this article is about the description of a model which calculates the pressure-multiplying efficiency only with two input values: the pressure and the speed of an intensifier. Final derived formulas are also used for the efficiency prediction at pressure levels never measured before and then verified by measurements. |
