👉 A buffer fluid, often used in hydraulic systems, is a secondary fluid layer that sits between the primary fluid (the main hydraulic fluid) and the mechanical components like pumps, valves, and cylinders. This buffer fluid acts as a reservoir to absorb sudden pressure changes, reducing the impact of bursts or rapid fluctuations in flow, which helps protect the system from damage. It also aids in maintaining consistent pressure and smooth operation by dampening shocks and ensuring a steady flow of fluid to the system's components.
