This 2.5-day (15-hour) seminar is designed to cover the knowledge related to conditioning of hydraulic fluids such as hosing in reservoirs, sealing, transmission through conductors, temperature control, and filtration. Each of the fluid conditioning requirement is thoroughly discussed showing various techniques, sizing calculations, and selection criteria. The book is unique in the amount of literature gathered from leading manufacturers of reservoirs, seals, transmission lines, heat exchangers, and filters. This seminar and HSV3 form a very important knowledge foundation for both design engineers and system operators as well.
