Abstract
Submersible hydraulic power units with interchangeable manifolds for hydraulic systems are provided. In one embodiment, submersible hydraulic power unit (“SHPU”) for moving hydraulic fluid between a first chamber and a second chamber of a hydraulic device is provided, the SHPU comprising: a tank for storing hydraulic fluid, wherein the tank houses: a motor submerged in the hydraulic fluid, the motor having a powered on and a powered off configuration based on at least one command signal; and a pump submerged in the hydraulic fluid and connected to the motor, wherein the motor drives the pump to route the hydraulic fluid in and out of the tank; and a lid attached to the tank, wherein the lid comprises at least one opening allowing an interchangeable manifold to connect to the pump.

A submersible hydraulic power unit for moving hydraulic fluid between a first chamber and a second chamber of a hydraulic device, the submersible hydraulic power unit comprising:
- a tank for storing hydraulic fluid, wherein the tank houses:
- a motor submerged in the hydraulic fluid, the motor having a powered on and a powered off configuration based on at least one command signal;
- and
- a pump submerged in the hydraulic fluid and connected to the motor, wherein the motor drives the pump to route the hydraulic fluid in and out of the tank;
- and
- a lid attached to the tank, wherein the lid comprises:
- at least one opening allowing a start solenoid to connect to the motor;
- and
- at least one opening allowing an interchangeable manifold to connect to the pump wherein the interchangeable manifold is exterior to the tank.
