THE INFLUENCE OF THE REGENERATION OF THE WORKING FLUID IN A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IN THE MECHANIZED COMPLEX USING A MECHANICAL DISPERSER
Hydraulic machines, e. g. mechanized supports, are widely used in the development of potash deposits. The mechanized support of clearing edge is intended to maintain the roof, preserve the clearing system in working and safe condition, and ensure the mechanization of processes of creation and management the roof rocks. All the mechanisms are controlled by a hydraulic system that uses industrial or motor oils. With long-term operation, they may accumulate by-products of oxidation, contamination and other impurities. The article compares the operation of a mechanized complex with the use of regenerated working fluid in a hydraulic system using a mechanical dispersant and without its application. As a result of using a hydro-mechanical dispersant, the increase in the operating time to failure of the hydraulic equipment of the mechanized support is 1.89 times, and the pump station is increased by 1.27 times.
