Objective
Although the conventional hydraulic pump design has changed little over the last 50 years, hydraulic systems are having to cope with higher performance and duty cycle specification requirements. This is as a result of increasing demands being placed on the design and performance of equipment utilising hydraulic power and control e.g. construction plant equipment. In an effort to improve the performance of existing hydraulic pumps they have identified a new concept in pump technology which they wish to develop further. The project relates to a number of uses for a trochoidal rotary engine design which has been developed by AC Systems. Primary emphasis within the project will be on the development of a novel and patentable hydraulic pump design. The main RTD goals can therefore be summarised as follows; To prove and develop the epitrochoidal pump design, in relation to achieving a pump with at least an equivalent cost and performance to existing pump systems. To demonstrate the extent of the pumps performance through its widespread application and exploitation in industrial hydraulic systems. It has been shown that the concept behind the pump is patentable and the use of trochoidal rotary engine design for hydraulic pumping purposes represents an entirely innovative approach.
