Application guidelines and formulas:
Heating of the hydraulic fluid in operation is caused by inefficiencies. Inefficiencies result in losses of input power, which are converted to heat. The following document explains how to determine: the size of heat exchanger required to remove operational heat load; the amount of heat dissipated via the reservoir and the power of a heating element required to maintain or raise reservoir fluid temperature in low ambient conditions.
