Energy efficient hydraulic system design for force loading of vehicle drivetrain systems

The thesis focuses on a hydraulic system design for a specific application of hydrostatic drive with regard to energy efficiency of proposed solution. Standard hydraulic and electronic components are used, mostly products of Bosch Rexroth. The aim of the thesis is to carry out a complex design from mechanic through hydraulic up to the electronic part of the system. After a short introduction in the beginning of the thesis is the particular application described and analyzed. Then the elemental principles of hydraulic devices and systems are explained. In the following part the actual solution is presented, which expands to several different alternatives. These alternatives are compared according to set criteria and the selected alternative is then further developed. At the end of the thesis, the outputs are evaluated and the direction of further possible improvements in the design is outlined
