Hydraulic Fluids: Foaming, Air Entrainment, and Air Release - A Review 972789
The importance of minimizing air entrainment and enhancing air release in hydraulic fluids has been recognized for over 40 years. These properties are dependent on the composition of hydraulic fluids, especially on the presence of contaminants which inhibit air release and additives which promote it. One objective of this paper is to present an overview of this critically important technology as it has unfolded over the last 40 years. The second objective of this paper is to integrate into this summary recent research results on the impact of additives on air release properties.
