Development of high pressure water hydraulic system

Zaključno delo obravnava razvoj vodno hidravličnega sistema za visoke tlake. Razvoj se je pričel z zasnovo koncepta ob predpostavki, da se za pogonsko kapljevino uporabi voda in da sistem omogoča doseganje visokih tlakov. Po potrditvi analitičnih izračunov z numeričnimi simulacijami je bil zasnovan prototip, ki je bil tudi izdelan. Izvedenih je bilo več meritev, kjer smo postopoma povečevali tlak v pogonskem hidravličnem valju in spremljali povečan tlak v hidravličnem ojačevalniku. Ugotovili smo, katere komponente so najšibkejši člen v zasnovanem ojačevalniku, in predstavili potencialne rešitve za njegov nadaljnji razvoj.The thesis deals with the development of a high pressure water hydraulic system. The development started with a conceptual design assuming that water is used as the driving medium and that the system is capable of reaching high pressures. After validating the analytical calculations with numerical data, a prototype was designed and built. Several measurements were made, during which we gradually increased the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder and monitored the increased pressure in the hydraulic intensifier. We determined which components are the weakest link in the designed pressure intensifier and presented possible solutions for its further development
