In hydraulic systems, the main functions of charge pumps include maintaining continuous fluid flow, preventing cavitation, smooth system operation, improving system efficiency, pressure compensation and regulation, maintaining proper fluid levels, providing control oil and brake oil, and emergency backup functions.
The primary function of the charge pump is to ensure the continuous flow of fluid in the system. The charge pump can ensure a constant flow of fluid when the main pump (such as a plunger pump) fails to generate high pressure or is in a non-pressurized stage. This process is essential for lubrication, cooling and filtration, and can effectively prevent equipment damage caused by fluid stagnation.
Cavitation is a problem that may occur in plunger pumps under low pressure conditions. The formation of bubbles will affect the normal operation of the hydraulic system. The charge pump maintains positive pressure in the system during the low-pressure stage, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of cavitation, thereby protecting the various components of the hydraulic system and extending their service life.
By providing a continuous supply of fluid, the charge pump can smooth the operation of the hydraulic system and reduce the risk of pressure fluctuations. This continuous flow not only promotes system stability, but also improves predictability and ensures the reliability of the hydraulic system under various working conditions.
The charge pump is designed to ensure a constant flow of fluid, which is essential to maintaining the overall efficiency of the hydraulic system. It allows the plunger pump to operate at its best when needed, avoiding the potential risk of damage caused by idleness. In addition, some high-end charge pumps have a pressure compensation function that can adjust the system pressure to a predetermined level, further enhancing the stability and efficiency of the hydraulic system.
In the hydraulic oil tank, the charge pump is responsible for maintaining the proper fluid level to ensure that the plunger pump and other related components have sufficient fluid supply. This function can effectively prevent the risk of damage caused by dry running or insufficient fluid level and ensure the normal operation of the system.
In some hydraulic systems, the charge pump is also responsible for providing control oil and brake oil. The implementation of this function not only meets the diverse needs of the system, but also greatly improves the flexibility and controllability of the system, enabling it to adapt to different operating conditions.
Finally, the charge pump can provide basic functional support as an emergency backup pump when the main pump fails, preventing the system from completely shutting down. This redundant design significantly enhances the reliability and safety of the hydraulic system, ensuring that it can continue to operate at critical moments.
