Feeling the Burn. When you start working out your legs, whether it's intense walking or using the leg press machine, your body starts converting glucose, or glycogen, into lactic acid inside your muscles. The muscle cells use lactic acid as fuel, as well as adenosine triphosphate.
Hydraulic Oil Temperatures We at KJA recommend maintaining the hydraulic elevator oil at a temperature of 37Â°C (100Â°F) plus or minus 10 per cent. We are concerned with two things: the change in oil viscosity with the change in temperature and the possible breakdown of the oil at high temperatures.
As the oilâs temperature increases, its viscosity decreases. Therefore, a hydraulic system is operating too hot when it reaches the temperature at which oil viscosity falls below that required for adequate lubrication. A vane pump requires a higher minimum viscosity than a piston pump, for example.
