Hydraulic question?

[Russell]

If you have two pumps on a engine both the same size , each pump goes to it's own monoblock with 3 spools.
Could you combine one service from each monoblock to get a high flow auxiliary?
I know I could use 3 pumps, one being bigger but would like to keep it compact as possible.

Yes. That’s effectively how the systems on some larger excavators work.

Ok thanks

 

[CPS]

Yes should work

As long as the pressures are the same at the PRV’s, and you don’t want to used the other services at the same time!
