Information Compendium on Nonflammable Hydraulic Fluid and Design Requirements for Its Adoption

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide developers of future Army equipment with the information necessary to design systems capable of using a Nonflammable Hydraulic Fluid (NFH) which has a chlorotrifluoroethylene (CFTE) base stock. This hydraulic fluid is described in Air Force draft specification, MIL-H-XXXX Hydraulic Fluid, Nonflammable, Chlorotrifluoroethylene Base for Aircraft. The fluid's characteristics and how they will affect the design of the hydraulic system are discussed, along with testing research data, and conclusions. In addition, system design changes which are required to accommodate this new fluid are suggested. A comprehensive annotated bibliography of the NFH/CTFE development efforts is included. Keywords: Flammability; Combat vehicles; Tactical vehicles; 8,000 psi.
