If you look at the schematic (1:38), the higher pressure hydraulic fluid pushes the small piston down (or to the right in this case). If you look closely, you see a small line from the RH side of the small piston to the reservoir. This is to equalize the reservoir level with the required head pressure. Hope this clears it up for you ;-)
Great video! two questions. so is the purple liquid typical hydraulic fluid of 787 or something else? The second, any more videos for Explained Series, such as electrical, fuel, pressurization, air conditioning and so on?
Hey @naimsuleymanoglu8007 ! Thank you very much. It is, there are different brands of fluid but I know this is a commonly used fluid for aircraft hydraulic systems. I will make more explain videos of aircraft systems! Have a great day :-)
Very cool! That’s the stuff you never get to see when you’re flying those things, but helps me tremendously in understanding how things really work.
Thank you very much. I think mechanics and pilots learn each other every time! And that's a good thing of course.
As a new Technician, always helpful to be educated more,
Thank you
Thank you! Glad I can help you with learning :-)
Thank you very much for a new video, it's very helpful!
What pushes the piston or pressure side upward? From low pressure side to high pressure side.

03:41 the worst part: changing that teflon packing
Always lovely to do yes.. 🤣😅

What is the cangeout interval on the hydraulic elements? Is it the same for pressure, case drain and return?
I'm not sure. If I don't forget it I will check it for you later today 😁.
