Impact of Long Hydraulic Pipeline upon Performance of Hydraulic Control System

In ocean exploitation, long hydraulic pipelines are usually applied. Using SimHydraulic software, the model of hydraulic system including hydraulic fluid, pump, hydraulic cylinder, directional control valve, relief valve, accumulator, long supply pipeline and return pipeline, is established. The position of the cylinder piston is measured by position sensor, while the supply pressure of the cylinder and the system supply pressure are measured by pressure sensors, the directional control valve is controlled by an on-off signal. The simulation was carried out, the impact of long hydraulic pipeline on system performance is also analyzed.
