The aim of the subject is acquiring the knowledge, competencies and academic skills of students about hydro-pneumatics components which are used in hydro-pneumatics system for power transfer and controling of power transfer. The course envisages development of creative abilities and mastering of specific practical skills in the domain of hydraulics and pneumatics. We also plan students to achieve the ability to use information and communication technologies in the field of hydraulics and pneumatics.

Ability for solving of specific problems in the field of hydraulics and pneumatics. Ability to critically and self-critical thinking and approach in solving of specific problems in the field of hydraulics and pneumatics. Students will be trained to use modern technical solutions of hydraulics and pneumatics. Development of skills and ability in the field of hydraulics and pneumatics. Students will also be trained to use information and communication technologies in the field of hydraulics and pneumatics.

Hydraulic and pneumatic components, definitions, place and role in the hydraulic and pneumatic systems for the transfer of energy and motion and in the hydraulic and pneumatic control systems. Volume compressors, working principles, advantages and disadvantages, classification, working parameters, characteristics. Volume pumps, working description, advantages and disadvantages, classification, working parameters, characteristics. Volume engines, classification, working principles, advantages and disadvantages, technical parameters, energy characteristics. Control valves, classifications, working principles, graphic marking, hydraulic and control characteristics. Control of oil temperature in hydraulics systems.

Teaching is done with modern didactic means and methods, interactively in the form of lectures, laboratory and computational exercises. In addition to lectures and exercises, consultations are also regularly held. The lectures present the theoretical part of the material accompanied by characteristic examples for easier understanding of the subject matter. Students practically apply acquired knowledge during laboratory exercises by using of available laboratory equipments.
