Optimum Design of the Hydraulic System with Supercharger in Argo Based on AMESim

Abstract

For the issues of plunger pump of the hydraulic system happening in practical application of Argo like poor self-priming, a system with a supercharger and a low-pressure gear pump is built to improve the stability of floating and slash costs. Using HCD (hydraulic component design) of AMESim to construct supercharger and simulation model of the whole system, the static and dynamic characteristics are analyzed. The results show that the system performance can satisfy the design requirements. But the working pressure would affect the system efficiency. Further, the parameter optimization of supercharger is necessary to improve the efficiency.
