The Elastohydrodynamic Lubricating Properties of Water-Polyglycol Fire-Resistant Fluids

Pages 366-372 | Published online: 25 Mar 2008
 

Abstract

Commercial aqueous polyglycol hydraulic fluids are found to give very low elastohydrodynamic film thicknesses. By studying mixtures of polyglycol, monoglycol, and water, it is shown that this is became the pressure-viscosity coefficients of polyglycol and monoglycol fall very sharply when they are mixed together or when water is added. Over the polyglycol, monoglycol, water mixture range, pressure-viscosity coefficient appears to be inversely related to free volume.
