Cavitation is a common issue in hydraulic pump systems that can lead to significant performance degradation, increased wear, and potential failure of the components. It occurs when the pressure in the pump drops below the vapor pressure of the fluid, causing the formation of vapor bubbles. These bubbles can collapse violently, leading to pitting and damage to the pump and other system components. Addressing cavitation promptly is essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of hydraulic systems. Here are several strategies to solve cavitation problems in hydraulic pump systems.

Understanding the Root Causes

7000522
Before tackling cavitation, it is important to identify the underlying causes. Common factors contributing to cavitation include inadequate inlet pressure, high fluid temperature, high fluid viscosity, and insufficient pump design. Thoroughly analyzing the system’s operating conditions can help pinpoint the specific cause of cavitation issues.
Increase Inlet Pressure
One of the most effective ways to prevent cavitation is to ensure that the inlet pressure to the pump is adequate. This can be achieved by:
Reducing elevation differences: Position the pump closer to the fluid source to minimize the vertical lift.
Using a larger-diameter suction line: This decreases friction losses and can help maintain higher inlet pressure.
Installing an accumulator: A hydraulic accumulator can maintain a steady pressure and mitigate pressure drops that lead to cavitation.
Reduce Fluid Temperature
Higher fluid temperatures lower the vapor pressure, making it easier for cavitation to occur. To prevent this, consider:
Implementing a cooling system: This can include heat exchangers or water jackets to maintain fluid temperature within optimal ranges.
Selecting fluids with suitable temperature resistance: Using fluids designed for high-temperature applications can also help mitigate cavitation risks.
Optimize Pump Design
Sometimes, the pump design itself may not be suitable for the specific application or operating conditions. To optimize pump design:
