ANÁLISE DA INSTALAÇÃO DE SISTEMA DE RESFRIAMENTO DE ÓLEO EM CIRCUITO HIDRÁULICO COM BOMBA DE ENGRENAGENS

Abstract

The present work aims to accompany the process of implantation of an industrial oil cooler in a hydraulic system, aiming at the elimination of the problem that has become recurrent due to its overheating. The objective is explored through the elaboration of a theoretical reference where it describes and conceptualizes in detail the main components of the hydraulic system, describing its characteristics and the great importance for the proper functioning of the equipment. The guarantee of the need to install the chiller is sought by calculating the heat generated by the system when compared to the amount of heat that the reservoir is capable of dissipating. For the implementation, the operational failures caused were also taken into account, since they overload the equipment, causing unscheduled downtime and losses for the company. From a financial point of view, a comparison was made between the expenses related to the equipment's unscheduled machine stops in the previous year, and the expenses generated with the implementation of the cooling system, analyzing the satisfactory results. After the installation of the equipment and the monitoring of its operation for a considerable period of time, improvements and benefits transferred to the hydraulic system were noticeable, increasing its availability and maintainability rates.
