Advanced Optimization Strategies
Manufacturers in the mobile equipment sector are continually exploring strategies to reduce machine weight, minimize oil usage, and optimize space utilization. A critical approach to achieving these goals is reducing tank reservoir sizes. This process, however, demands sophisticated optimization techniques for effective implementation.
Complex and improper designs aimed at reducing reservoir size can lead to inadequate deaeration, resulting in excessive air circulation within hydraulic systems. This can lead to various issues, including corrosion in pumps and controls, faster oil degradation, varnish formation, cavitation, operational inconsistencies, and diminished filter efficiency. Such problems escalate maintenance downtime, increase repair expenses, elevate oil usage, and boost emissions.
In partnership with HYDAC, we offer an innovative solution for OEMs: filter tank reservoir optimization. This approach enables the safe and effective reduction of tank sizes while reducing oil volume and mitigating noise and damage to components. This solution includes tailored system optimizations, optimized products, and experienced guidance to create material and oil savings, extra machinery space, and potential emission reductions.
Custom System Designs
HYDAC has dedicated years to understanding air separation capacity and flow behavior in tank reservoirs. Leveraging their extensive experience in hydraulics and mobile machinery, we provide custom filter tank optimization solutions aided by simulations unique to your applications. The creation of these solutions includes technical consulting, simulations, laboratory tests, and field tests.

In-to-Out Filtration
The in-to-out filtration strategy improves airflow within hydraulic systems. This strategy creates an upstream flow that rises from the bottom to an outlet at the oil’s surface, reducing outlet velocity and turbulence. This allows for smooth oil blending, which reduces sloshes.
Integrated Deaeration Windows
Filter tank reservoir optimization solutions allow for custom flow designs, which can create low flow velocity to simplify internal tank complexity. With expert guidance, the best-fit flow design will be chosen for your custom reservoir optimization solution.

Air-X and RT Filter Technologies
The Air-X technology by HYDAC dramatically reduces reservoir sizes by up to 40%, decreasing oil volume and design complexity. This technology enhances air separation efficiency and requires an advanced filtration approach for maximum effectiveness.
Similarly, HYDAC’s RT Filter Technology optimizes flow and deaeration for superior air separation. It ensures the containment of contaminants and features a design that allows for slower oil movement, facilitating better air bubble deaeration.
