Abstract. In the steady state of operation, the temperature of a mining excavator hydraulic fluid is determined by the ambient temperature, hydraulic system design, and power losses. The amount of the hydraulic system power loss depends on the hydraulic fluid physical and thermodynamic properties and the degree of wear of the mining excavator hydraulic system working elements.

With an increase in the temperature of hydraulic fluid, its viscosity decreases, which leads, on the one hand, to a decrease in power losses due to pressure losses in pipelines, valves and fittings, and, on the other hand, to an increase in volumetric leaks and associated power losses.

Introduction. It is well known that in most hydraulic systems, the efficiency does not exceed 75 %. In this case, the input power is spent on overcoming mechanical friction, pressure losses in pipelines, valves and fittings, and internal leakage of the hydraulic fluid. All power losses are converted into heat absorbed by the hydraulic fluid [1-3]. An increase in the temperature of the working fluid above a certain limit is accompanied by an increase in the aging rate, deterioration of its working properties and significantly affects both the performance of the excavator and the durability of the hydraulic system. Power losses during the operation of mining hydraulic excavators are of particular importance, since they operate in changing external conditions, primarily ambient temperature, and have a powerful drive, which gives large absolute values of the losses of electric energy or diesel fuel [4-6].

The calculation of power losses will allow you to select the appropriate drive power when designing new equipment, find the conditions for thermal equilibrium, determine the maximum possible oil temperature in the excavator hydraulic system, and correctly select the oil cooler parameters, taking into account the power, mode, and equipment operating conditions. An accurate calculation of the total power losses of a mining excavator hydraulic system is difficult due to the large amount of

calculations and the need to take into account the variability of the physical parameters of the substances involved in the process.

Methods. The hydraulic system of the Komatsu PC750-7 excavator was chosen as the object of study. Hydraulic fluids Shell Tellus S2 V 22, 32, 46, 68 with the corresponding kinematic viscosity of 22, 32, 46, 68 cSt at 40 °C. Mechanical losses in friction units are assumed to be constant and were not taken into account in the calculations [7, 8].

In a mining excavator hydraulic system, energy losses depend on the operations performed and the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. This is a power expended to overcome resistance in hydraulic lines, fittings, valves etc. and hydraulic fluid leakage in the components of the hydraulic system. To accurately assess the energy loss in the excavator hydraulic system, it is necessary to take into account the dependence of the density and viscosity of the hydraulic fluid on temperature. In manual calculations, it was customary to average the hydraulic fluid physical parameters, since taking into account density and viscosity changes on temperature greatly complicated the calculations.

A change in the hydraulic fluid density and viscosity over a wide temperature range affects the energy intensity of the energy transfer and conversion processes occurring in the hydraulic system of a mining excavator, and to obtain accurate results, these changes should be taken into account. As the temperature changes, the magnitude of each type of power loss changes. With an increase in the temperature of the working fluid, its viscosity decreases, which entails a decrease in power losses due to pressure losses in pipelines, valves and fittings and, at the same time, an increase in power losses due to an increase in the volume of leaks in the elements of the hydraulic system.

A change in the density of the hydraulic fluid in the operating temperature range affects the magnitude of power losses, is linear in nature and can be determined by the formula [9-11]

Po

Pi =

1 -

atAi

where po, pt are the hydraulic fluid density at a temperature of to and t respectively, kg/m3; At is the temperature increment, °C; at is the thermal expansion coefficient of the material, °C-1.

The change in the hydraulic fluid viscosity, when the temperature changes in the range 40-110 °C, is determined from the expression

Vi = V0

where vo, Vt are the kinematic viscosity at temperature to and t, m2/s; n is a coefficient depending on the type and brand of the hydraulic fluid, temperature to , and viscosity vo [9, 10, 12].

In the temperature range from 0 to 40 °C the expression for calculating the kinematic viscosity takes the following form:

V = at2 + bt + c,

where a, b, c are the coefficients depending on the temperature and characteristics of the hydraulic fluid are determined from the reference literature or experimentally. Their values for the hydraulic fluid Shell Tellus S2 V 46 in the temperature range up to 40 °C are presented in Table 1.

The dependence of the viscosity of Shell Tellus hydraulic fluids used in mining hydraulic excavators on temperature is shown in Fig. 1.

The calculation of power losses during the operation of a mining hydraulic excavator involves the calculation of pressure losses in hydraulic components (pipelines, valves and fittings), power losses due to hydraulic fluid leaks, primarily of the main pumps and hydraulic motors. The total pressure losses by pipe length are determined by the Darcy - Weisbach formula for a viscous fluid flow

where i is the number of straight sections of the hydraulic pipe; X is the flow coefficient for the corresponding hydraulic line; Li, di are the length and internal diameter of the i-th pipeline respectively; Vi is the average flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the i-th pipeline [10, 13, 14].

The value of the flow coefficient depends on the type of fluid flow (Laminar and Turbulent). After a long downtime, immediately after starting the hydraulic system, when the fluid has not yet warmed up, laminar flow can be observed in the channels and the flow coefficient is usually calculated using the Poiseuille formula [10, 14, 15]

X =

Further, in a turbulent flow, the Blausius formula is used [14-16]

X = 0.3164Re-025,

where Re is the Reynolds number of the hydraulic fluid flow in the pipeline.

Losses also occur when the fluid passes through local resistances - fittings, valves, hydraulic control devices. The magnitude of these pressure losses is calculated using the following formula [14, 17]

where K is the pressure drop coefficient. Values are determined from reference literature or experimentally.

The work cycle of the piston chamber of an axial piston pump consists of the processes suction and discharge of the hydraulic fluid. The reason for the hydraulic fluid leakage in the pump is a large pressure difference between the piston chamber and the casing. Volume losses occur when liquid is forced into the pressure line. Fluid leakage from the working chamber consists of the following four components: leakage through the gap between the piston and the piston chamber wall Qpc, through the gap between the piston and the slipper QpS, through the gap between the slipper and the swash plate Qss and through the gap between the cylinder block and valve plate Qcv (Fig.2, a).

Hydraulic fluid leakage through the annular gap between the piston and the piston chamber wall is determined by the expression [10, 17, 18]

Numerical modeling of physical processes has found wide application in the field of studying the processes of mining hydraulic excavators, since it allows taking into account a large number of quantities that change according to nonlinear dependencies and solving previously considered problems with much greater accuracy [24-26]. For computer simulation of power losses in a hydraulic system, the developed calculation method and a software algorithm implemented in the MatLab Simulink environment were used.

Discussion of the results. The preparation of a numerical experiment required an analysis of the Komatsu PC750-7 mining hydraulic excavator operating cycle [27-29]. The accurate values of flow rates in various sections of the hydraulic lines, as well as in individual devices of the hydraulic system of the excavator, were calculated, which is important for accurately determining energy losses [30-32]. As a result of the simulation, the values of power losses during the execution of work operations at various temperatures were obtained, presented in Table 3.

Fig.3. Power loss depending on the hydraulic fluid temperature: a - due to hydraulic fluid leaks, pressure losses in hydraulic components (lines, valves etc.) (1 - digging; 2 - swing load; 3 - swing empty; 4 - loading; 5 - main pumps) b - total power losses during the implementation of work processes (1 - digging; 2 - swing load; 3 - loading; 4 - swing empty)

Figure 3 shows power losses due to hydraulic fluid leakage and pressure losses in hydraulic components (lines, valves etc.) depending on the hydraulic fluid temperature for the working cycle operations: digging, swing load, loading, swing empty.

From the presented graphical dependences it is clearly seen that the energy losses during various working operations differ significantly from each other, which does not contradict the previously published results [33-35]. As the temperature of the liquid increases, the power loss caused by to hydraulic losses due to the properties of pipelines and associated resistances will decrease, while the increase in power due to the volume of leaks increases.

The values of the total power loss AN for different operations of the excavator working cycle differ in value, but they all have a common feature, which is that the total power loss decreases with an increase in the hydraulic fluid temperature from 0 to 30-35 °C, reaching the lowest value in the temperature range from 35 to 55 °C. After 55 °C, the power loss increases rapidly with the temperature rise. Since leaks in the control devices of the hydraulic system were not taken into account at this stage of the research, power losses with increasing temperature in the example under consideration will be the lower limit of values.

The total power loss versus temperature for various hydraulic fluids is shown in Fig.4. The presented graphic dependences clearly show a significant energy overspending when working on un-heated hydraulic oil and the need to warm it up to 30-40 degrees before starting work.

It follows from these dependencies that when the excavator is operating in winter conditions, it is more advisable to use hydraulic fluids with a lower viscosity, and when working in a hot climate, for example, in the conditions of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, it is advisable to use hydraulic fluids with increased viscosity. The optimal temperature value depends on the viscosity and other characteristics of the fluid, but it also depends on the hydraulic system elements technical condition and mining operating factors that affect the duration of the working cycles. Therefore, absolute value of power losses in certain conditions, are not an informative indicator.

To assess the energy efficiency of the mining excavator hydraulic system, a power loss coefficient is proposed. It is defined as the ratio of the minimum possible power losses in the hydraulic system in the considered operating conditions to the actual ones:

where AAWn is the minimum possible power loss in given conditions; AA^is the actual power loss.

The value of the power loss coefficients when using various hydraulic fluids is shown in Fig. 5. The concept of "temperature range of power loss - Trpi" is proposed - the temperature interval between the minimum and maximum temperatures, corresponding to the value of the power loss coefficient.

From the graphical dependencies and the data presented in Table 4, it follows that with an increase in viscosity, the difference in the values of the high and optimal temperatures increases, as well as the value of the "power loss interval" corresponding to the specified Kpl value.

Conclusion. A method for calculating power losses in the hydraulic system of a mining hydraulic excavator depending on temperature is proposed. The method is implemented using the MatLab Simulink program on the example of Shell Tellus SV 2 46 hydraulic fluid and the hydraulic system of the Komatsu PC750-7 excavator.

• In the range from zero to 30-50 degrees, 70-80 % of power losses are pressure losses in hydraulic components (lines, valves etc.), which decrease in a quadratic relationship with a decrease in the hydraulic fluid viscosity caused by an increase in temperature. After 30-50 degrees, with a further decrease of hydraulic fluid viscosity, due to an increase in hydraulic fluid leaks in pumps and hydraulic motors, the main power losses increase according to a dependence close to a straight line, the angle of inclination of which is determined by the technical condition of the hydraulic motors and pumps, primarily the main pumps, the parameters of the hydraulic fluid, and mining factors of operation.

• A criterion for estimating energy losses in the hydraulic system of a mining hydraulic excavator depending on the hydraulic fluid temperature is proposed - the power loss coefficient Kpl, obtained by comparing the minimum possible losses at the optimum temperature in given conditions with energy losses at the actual temperature. The use of the proposed coefficient will allow estimating "excessive" energy losses when deviating from a range close to the optimal temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the conditions under consideration and hydraulic systems of other machines.

• The concept of "temperature range of power loss - Trpl" is proposed - the temperature interval between the minimum and maximum temperatures, corresponding to the value of the power loss coefficient.

• Calculations have shown that the implementation of measures that ensure operation in the interval with a deviation of 10 % from the optimal temperature value (Kpl > 0.9) for these conditions, can reduce energy losses from 3 to 12 %.
