Hydraulic power units are one of the most commonly used power sources in industry.The progress in recent years has offered high efficiency and reliable hydraulic components, yet the hydraulic tank design is often neglected part of the development.The paper presents the development of industrial 400 litre hydraulic tank.In order to reduce oil swirling and improve stability of fluid flow, CFD simulations of oil flow inside hydraulic tank were made.Several variations of new hydraulic tank designs are compared with standard industrial tank.Furthermore, to achieve steady flow through the entire reservoir and reduce the phenomenon of oil swirling, newly-developed diffuser is used.Consequently a full scale hydraulic power unit was built according to obtained results.
