Understanding the two types of fluid power circuits

Most fluid power circuits use compressed air or hydraulic fluid as their operating medium. Whilst these systems are the same in many aspects, they can also have very different characteristics.

For instance, remote outdoor environments may use dry nitrogen in place of compressed air to eliminate freezing problems. Whereas hydraulic systems use a variety of fluids, from water to high temperature, fire resistant fluids; note that the fluid is different but the operating characteristics remain the same.
