| Product code | FP-MF200-CAV |
Educational Advantages | Designed to demonstrate the following: normal pump inlet restriction, abnormally high pump inlet restriction, abnormally low pump inlet restriction, what occurs when oil is discharged above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir, what occurs when the pump inlet is too close to the surface of the oil – vortex. |

Teach students the following | Physics associated with the operation of a hydraulic pump How the inlet side of a hydraulic pump works How design influences the amount of restriction at the inlet side of a pump Common design “oversights” when designing hydraulic pump intakes Why it is critical to know what a particular pump’s normal inlet restriction is What role altitude plays in the operation at the inlet side of a pump What causes pump inlet restriction to increase to a level that can cause cavitation, the most common cause of abnormally high inlet restriction What causes pump inlet restriction to decrease to a level that can cause pseudo-cavitation The most common cause of abnormally low pump inlet restriction What occurs when flow discharges above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir What causes a “vortex” to occur in a hydraulic system Why it is critical to “trend” pump inlet restriction |
