A Hydraulic Power Pack in basic terminology, is a self-contained unit that consists primarily of a prime mover (either an engine or electric motor) a hydraulic pump, a valve and a hydraulic tank reservoir.
By utilising fluid to transmit power from one location to another, hydraulic power packs can generate large amounts of power, which in turn can be used to drive hydraulic machinery. Another way to think of a hydraulic power pack is that it is a portable power delivery system that holds energy for a hydraulic mechanism. A good analogy to think what a hydraulic power pack is, is to consider the role of an electric battery, which stores energy for a circuit to draw on when is required. HPU’s are used in a wide range of industrial applications and machines, especially where there is no direct access to a power source.
How is hydraulic power unit required power calculated?
Hydraulic power is defined as flow multiplied by pressure. The hydraulic power supplied by a pump is: Power = (P x Q) ÷ 600 - where power is in kilowatts [kW], P is the pressure in bars, and Q is the flow in litres per minute. ** based upon 100% efficiency; 90% efficiency would equate to 75 ÷ 0.9 = 83.3kW.
