BASIC ELEMENTS OF FLUID POWER SYSTEM A fluid power system is a combination of various elements to achieve the desired motion of the application. Broadly these elements can be categorised under four main groups, as shown in Fig.1.2. Table 1.3. Basic elements of fluid power system 1. Energy conversion elements: • These elements transfer the mechanical energy received from prime movers (engines, electric motors, etc.,) into fluid pressure energy that is used to obtain pressurized liquid or compressed air. • These elements include hydraulic pumps and air compressors. 2. Energy storage elements: • These elements store the energy by storing the fluid itself and supplying it when the work load demands it. • These elements include hydraulic accumulators, air storage tanks, etc. 3. Energy control elements: • These elements make the form of energy adaptable to the application by controlling its parameters like direction, flow, pressure, etc. • These elements include direction control valves, flow control valves, pressure control valves, etc. 4. Energy utilizing/re-conversion elements: • These elements re-convert the fluid pressure energy again into useful mechanical energy in the form required by the application. • These elements include cylinders and motors.
