OUR COMPANY
Specialized in water hydraulics for medium and high pressure
- Based in the Lyon region (France), Fluid Hydr’Eau is specialized in industrial applications of water hydraulics and medium/high power pressure hydraulics.
- For years, we have been developing our expertise in engineering, manufacture, maintenance and sale of water hydraulics systems and components.
- Water hydraulics does not pretend to replace oil hydraulics. But for some applications, such as with speed, cleanliness and safety specific requirements (i.e. nuclear industry), water hydraulics has strong valuable arguments for a sustainable and reliable technology.
WATER HYDRAULICS
About water hydraulics
- Water hydraulics is the use of water (or low viscosity fluids) under pressure to transmit power or energy.
- Water hydraulics does not pretend to replace oil hydraulics. But, use of water that available on site and that does not require any treatment, does not bring pollution to environment.
- Water hydraulics allows great savings in operating and maintenance.
Compatible fluids
- All low viscosity fluids: inferior to 22 cst
- Drinking water, technical water (demineralized, decarbonized), industrial water, river water, sea, reverse osmosis water
- Mixture water/oil (HFA, 95/5, water-based emulsion, cutting fluid), water glycol (HFC)
- Kerosene, fuel
Under pressure water can be used in many industries
- Nuclear industry
- Food industry
- Petrol and off-shore
- Manufacturing industries
- Hydroelectricity
- Power dams
- Nebulization
- Air cooling
- Desalination
- Street washers
