Temperature control and temperature monitoring
Solutions for temperature control and temperature monitoring
The viscosity of the hydraulic oil is one of the main parameters for the long service life of a hydraulic system. It is in relation to the oil temperature:
When a hydraulic system starts, the oil temperature is relatively low and consequently the viscosity is high. This results in higher friction and cavitation with pumps and motors affecting the service life.
Too high temperatures may damage the hydraulic system as well. Too high temperatures may damage both the gaskets and the oil itself.
Equally important is the monitoring of the oil level. A too low oil level may cause the pumps sucking air. This may cause damage on the pumps and adjacent hydraulic components.
Filler necks and oil level sight glasses
Oil level sight glasses for visual monitoring of level:
The oil level sight glass is a fitting for level indication of liquids. Our oil level sight glasses are made of lightweight metal with a hexagonal body. The sight glass is made of natural glass. The oil level sight glasses are heat-resistant up to 100 °C.
Filler necks for filling of oil tank:
Filler necks with filler breathers are intended for filling or re-filling of oil tanks. The integrated filler breather filters the air that flows back into the tank so that no dirt from outside is penetrating (filter quality 10 µm).
Temperature probe and temperature switch
Our range of temperature probes and temperature switches includes the temperature probe TE-PT 100, temperature switch TSC, level temperature switch NVT and the electronic level temperature switch NVT-E - from our in-house development.
Tank heaters
As an example, we use tank heaters and cartridge heaters for pre-heating hydraulic oil and oil tanks. Other applications are heating of lubriating oil supply systems, for example for gearboxes.
