CNHI 1222 — Intro to Fluid Power Systems 3 Credit Hours
This course is designed to develop an understanding of the fundamentals, theory and application of mobile hydraulic principles. The student will locate and identify machine components from schematics; draw and read schematics; and identify fittings, seals and components used in hydraulic systems on agricultural and construction equipment. Emphasis is placed on Pascal’s Law and principals used to calculate hydraulic pressure- flow-work/ power relationships. Ability to identify and understand Hydraulic principles and operation of pumps, control valves, actuators, heat exchangers and fluids used on mobile equipment is covered in this course. The student will be introduced to failure analysis, diagnostics and reconditioning of hydraulic components.
