1 Power Steering Fluid Presentation How aerospace formulation does makes a difference

2 Increase Power Steering Performance Power Steering Unit is a small size basic hydraulic system PUMP (which creates the fluid energy) RACK / PISTON (receives the fluid energy ) HOSE (moves the fluid energy) SERVO VALVE (regulates the fluid energy ) GEAR BOX / RACK WORM GEAR (uses the fluid energy) With these basic hydraulic principals used within the power steering application we will use commercial / aerospace fluid technology to explain how we can improve the automotive, racing & extreme duty need.

3 These elements shall be addressed: Base Oil (why Aerospace base oils with Poly-X makes a difference) Increasing volume area of oil molecules = increased flow & pressure. DLA (nano- dimensional Diamond like Additive protection) Synthetic Anti-Wear AW additive advancement (friction reduction) PROBLEM: When the fluid is unable to maintain its viscosity & temperature characteristics ( the fluid thins out rapidly at high temperatures and thicken rapidly at low temperatures). Then the hydraulic pump and system is forced to work harder using more energy to perform the same job.

4 ANSWER: Hydraulic Fluids with Aerospace formulation performs better than current power steering fluid products used either synthetic or petroleum. There is more than just one simple answer: It is the science of combined elements including: advanced base oils and selected additive packages, to increase overall performance efficiency. No matter the question - The bottom line answer is : Friction vs. Energy (reduce friction & work load = increased Energy Efficiency)

5 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) 95%+ of fluid performance is found within base oil Selection of the base oil determines the ability for hydro-dynamic flow & pressure with in the oil volume area. Including Internal Friction performance within the oil molecules. 5%+ of fluid performance is found within additives. Selection of fluid additives for surface contact or External or Internal Friction is very important including AW Anti-Wear, oxidation, seals etc. SynMax uses nano- sized DLA particles performing a solid film embed process decreasing friction on moving parts.

Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) 95%+ performance of a hydraulic fluid starts with the design of the base oil Most companies for Power Steering Fluid choose to use a standard

6 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) 95%+ performance of a hydraulic fluid starts with the design of the base oil Most companies for Power Steering Fluid choose to use a standard hydraulic base oils of average quality Which contains unsaturated open molecule structures. The unsaturated - uneven open molecular structure thermally degrades resulting in Viscosity / oxidation breakdown Oxidation is commercially defined as: thermal decomposition. This type of standard hydraulic base oil contain molecules that are different sizes decreasing efficiency and performance.

7 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) SynMax Synthetic Fluid. Premium fluid formulation includes PAO Synthetic & POE Aerospace base oils - which further increases thermal stability for greater heat dissipation and friction reduction properties. Including Poly-X Viscosity stabilization. SynMax DLA (stays suspended in oil). Utilizing a Diamond Like Additive (DLA) nano dimension package. Under load, pressure and heat; the DLA nano technology embeds and forming a thin solid film lubricant which physically attracted to metal surfaces. DLA works and fills in the microscopic pits & valleys into the metal surfaces - creating a superior protection which is nanodimensional in diameter & thickness.

8 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) UNEVEN / EVEN MOLECULE Explanation / Experiment: UNEVEN MOLECULES =MORE INTERNAL OIL FRICTION If you were to take a flat board place it on top of balls representing molecules lined up that are all different sizes then move the board - rolling over the uneven sized balls - the board would not move that well, creating increased internal friction & heat from the uneven sizes fighting each other.

9 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference UNEVEN / EVEN MOLECULE Explanation / Experiment: EVEN MOLECULES = LESS INTERNAL OIL FRICTION Now take that same flat board and place it on top of (egg shaped ) balls that are ALL THE SAME SIZE then move the board rolling over the even sized balls the board would move easier with less or reduced internal friction & heat just like the Hydraulic fluid (core) of the base oil.

10 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) UNEVEN / EVEN OIL MOLECULE DESIGN: UNEVEN MOLECULES = MORE INTERNAL OIL FRICTION (heats up, looses viscosity stability and breaks down quicker) EVEN MOLECULES = LESS INTERNAL OIL FRICTION ( Aerospace synthetic fluid ) Reducing internal friction and greater heat dissipation conditions within the base oil, Simultaneously increases oil working life with hydraulic system efficiency and durability.

Under working pressure - uniform/even size molecules will increase the amount of oil molecule volume count per area size as

11 (Hydrodynamic flow, pressure & area volume) Base Oil Uneven Molecule Uniform / Even Molecule Design Vs. Illustration of pump producing pressure to fill a volume area with oil molecules. Under working pressure - uniform/even size molecules will increase the amount of oil molecule volume count per area size as compared to uneven molecules - producing more energy power. As oil molecule percentage increases so does volume area stability. Volume Area stability; provides increased fluid pressure and energy.

(Hydrodynamic flow, pressure & area volume) Base Oil -Uneven Molecule Uniform / Even Molecule Design Vs. Regular ( open uneven molecule design) used by most PSF companies.

12 (Hydrodynamic flow, pressure & area volume) Base Oil -Uneven Molecule Uniform / Even Molecule Design Vs. Regular ( open uneven molecule design) used by most PSF companies. Advanced Aerospace base oil chemistry has a uniform/even molecule size & structure Under working pressure - uniform/even size molecules will increase the amount of oil molecule volume count ( without spaces) per area size as compared to uneven molecule design. As oil molecule percentage increases so does volume area stability.

13 (Hydrodynamic flow, pressure & area volume ) Laminar (Straight) long or short size reduction Turbulent flow because of bend. KEEP YOUR POWER STEERING UNIT INSTALL SIMPLE variables which determines oil volume area flow & capacity Straight (Laminar) - Tube / Hose Size reduction - Turbulent (bends). (the shortest & straightest length is best to increase energy, volume & pressure longer length requires more pump / work to create equal volume & pressure etc.) NOTE: Seal Rejuvenation (seal pliability holds hydraulic pressure better)

14 Base Oil (aerospace design does makes a difference) Illustration of all elements working together Aerospace - Synthetic Base Oil (yellow) Lower INTERNAL oil friction & heat dissipation. DLA Diamond Like Additives (blue) (nano- dimensional DLA protection reduce friction and filling sub micron sized gaps) Anti-Wear AW additive increase % (red) (metal surface buffer for friction reduction) DLA & improved AW reduces EXTERNAL (surface) oil friction. DLA reduces the friction co-efficient to.15% Aerospace base oil, DLA action with increased AW ; provides improved thermal stability, over entire life of the fluid.

15 Illustration of all advantages working together Summary: Increase oil molecule volume area (improved fluid flow and pressure). internal & external friction of hydraulic oil reduced. Performance levels are increased with more energy produced while maintaining viscosity stability & smoother power steering operations.
