Avoid “dieseling” in hydraulic cylinders.
When air is mixed with the hydraulic oil in your cylinders it can create the conditions for an extreme phenomenon known as “hydraulic dieseling”. This happens when bubbles of air mixed with oil undergo extreme pressurisation, causing them to explode in much the same way that diesel fuel ignites within an engine cylinder. Does that […]
