Engineering Asked by I. Lango on June 7, 2021
What would be the best way to implement hydraulic energy recovery while de-pressurizing a pressurized volume of silicone oil initially at 1500 bar. Can a piston pump be concievably repurposed as a hydraulic motor/turbine? From what I understand, power recovery turbines are generally designed for low pressure high flow applications, and here we have the opposite. We also don’t have a steady state flow, but instead just occasional "bursts" of flow as the vessel is depressurized and oil comes out.
This looks like an application for a hydraulic motor, these are typically camring, external lobe or internal lobe/geroller. Since (some) hydraulic machines work in short increments too, this should be doable.
You should hunt around for one the works with your silicon oil.
You should try to even out the flow as much as possible, since this will allow you to go for a smaller motor, smaller generator etc. Find out the longest time you have for unloading your system, and size the equipment for that.
Also i really doubt the 1500 bar. Are you sure you don't mean 1500 psi?
