AAK Hydraulic Manifold New Design Reduces Energy Consumption by 20%

Krischnan is from a hydraulic equipment manufacturing company in the United
States. He has been engaged in hydraulic manifold procurement for only 1 year.
In the second half of last year, they developed a hydraulic oil pump to promote
for new. The hydraulic manifold used comes from the design of their engineers.
They chose a hydraulic manifold manufacturer who has worked with them for 5
years to try samples. 2 months later, the commissioning was not smooth. After
the equipment was started for a period of time, the pressure supply of the oil
pump was unstable, resulting in high energy consumption of the equipment, which
had no advantage over the peers. The boss asked that the problem be solved
within 3 months. The engineer asked Krischnan to contact the original hydraulic
manifold manufacturer to solve the problem, but the manufacturer only had
production capacity and can not offer solution. Krischnan was worried that the
technical department blamed the purchase for the abnormal test run and had to
check with many hydraulic manifold manufacturers. 1 week later, only one
hydraulic manifold manufacturer replied that the manifold might need to be
redesigned, but he was not sure. Krischnan was worried about time being wasted
day by day.

When browsing Google, Krischnan found an article of AAK about hydraulic
manifolds and asked by email: Can you improve the hydraulic manifold design and
make samples according to the working conditions of the equipment? I felt that
he may have encountered problems on making samples for hydraulic manifolds.
After communication, I learned that there was also a problem with the hydraulic
manifold design. According to his hydraulic manifold drawings, as well as the
condition of equipment commissioning, I told him that AAK was 80% sure to
redesign the hydraulic manifold and sample it. If successful, it can help
reduce the energy consumption of the equipment by 20%. Krischnan was happy but
also worried when he learned that, but he seemed to have no choice but to bet
on AAK's success. After 50 days, 5 redesigned hydraulic manifold samples were
delivered.

4 weeks after the hydraulic manifold was sent out, Krischnan told us that the
test run was smooth, the pressure supply of the oil pump was stable, and the
energy consumption also decreased by more than 20%. The entire technical team
was very happy and sure that it would be recognized by the market soon.

The improvement of this hydraulic manifold is the reverse thinking operation,
from "why the pressure supply is unstable" to the oil circuit and oil hole. AAK
did this way: composed of relief valve, hydraulic time-delay valve and check
valve. The sparkle is that there are oil inlet, oil return and oil outlet holes
in the valve body. Each oil hole is connected to two cartridge valves, and the
control oil holes of the hydraulic time-delay valve and the relief valve are
connected to the corresponding oil holes in the valve body. The setting of
another cartridge valve can make the pump have the function of one-way oil
supply. The whole hydraulic manifold structure is compact, reducing pipes,
joints and pipe fittings, simplifying the installation project, and replacing
pipes with oil holes, which is also helpful for energy consumption.

A few days ago, Krischnan told me privately that AAK's design idea was admired
by their engineers. Now, people in the technical team respect him more when
they see him, and what he does is more and more interesting.

AAK hydraulic manifold, reduces energy consumption by 20%, and you can also
have a small try!
