Basic aspects when using ionic liquids as a hydraulic fluid
Darko Lovrec, Roland Kalb, Vito Tič
Abstract
Hydraulic development engineers and tribology specialist still exert substantial effort, time and resources into finding a hydraulic fluid that would be near an ideal fluid. In addition to its basic physicochemical properties, it must meet a number of other requirements related to its practical use within hydraulic system and the materials used therein. Ionic Liquids, as novel lubricants, offer the solution in this regard.
