TRANSFORMING FLUID POWER: RETHINKING THE WAY WE APPLY FLUID POWER

It began well before 1994, but an event from that spring stands out as a turning point in my understanding of the need for energy awareness when designing or working on fluid power systems. I had been invited to assist in specifying a chiller for a hydraulic system.

Someone in our industry had designed an inefficient hydraulic system. The unwitting customer had bought from the lowest bidder without asking or being informed about the cost of ownership.

I determined that I was going to do my best to design systems that were as efficient as I could make them and to help customers and fellow fluid power professionals expect the same.
