Abstract
A hydraulic system contains and confines a
liquid in such a way that it uses the laws governing
liquids to transmit power and do work. This paper
describes some basic systems and discusses
components of a hydraulic system that store and
condition the fluid. The oil reservoir (sump or tank)
usually serves as a storehouse and a fluid conditioner.
Filters, strainers and magnetic plugs condition the
fluid by removing harmful impurities that could clog
passages and damage parts. Heat exchanges or
coolers often are used to keep the oil temperature
within safe limits and prevent deterioration of the oil.
Accumulators, though technically sources of stored
energy, act as fluid storehouses.
