Dynavis technology is a winner for hydraulic fluid performance

7645 Dynavis demonstrated how its formulated fluid technology can improve the performance of hydraulic systems at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. More usually deployed in demanding construction and mining applications, Dynavis formulated fluid was added to a small hydraulic system connected to an exercise bicycle and put head to head with a similar system filled with a standard fluid. Show visitors could mount the bicycles and test the comparative performance of the Dynavis technology for themselves.

Using Dynavis-formulated fluid, less power is required at start than with conventional fluids since it provides lower viscosity at the lower start-up temperature, while its formulation also helps avoid internal leakage and recirculation at higher temperatures. In a recent application with mining excavation in India, the use of Dynavis resulted in a 12.8% saving in fuel, claims the company.
