On the Design of Energy-Saving Fluid Power Converter

The high energy efficiency and lightweight are recent trends in mobile hydraulics. In this paper, a new energy-saving fluid power converter (FPC) is designed to solve the problem of low energy conversion efficiency in hydraulic systems with variable load. The FPC is a kind of hydraulic transformer,...
