An adaptive intelligent turbulent flushing system based on Reynolds number

Abstract

Cleanliness is an important indicator to ensure hydraulic system effective operation. Hydraulic components flushing is a significant process to improve the cleanliness of hydraulic system. This paper studies the required conditions to keep the flushing solvent in a turbulent state and develops an adaptive intelligent flushing system and equipment based on Reynolds number and viscosity-temperature characteristic of flushing solvent. Experimental results show that the system and equipment can stably control the cleanliness of hydraulic components by adjusting the turbulent flow state of flushing solvent adaptively.
