Guide for type selection
1. According to the rated speed (i.e. the input speed of hydraulic coupling or drive unit) and required transmission power of
motor, refer to the power characteristic curve (P-n) and technical parameter schedule in the catalogue to select the model and
specification of hydraulic coupling and drive unit;
2. When selecting a drive unit for YOCz acceleration type coupling, first divide the rated speed (nT) of working machine
by the hydraulic efficiency (ηy=0.97) of hydraulic coupling to calculate the speed (nB) of pump impeller in the coupling, then
divide the shaft power (PT) of working machine by the hydraulic efficiency of hydraulic coupling to calculate the power (PB)
of pump impeller in the coupling. Select the required specification in the power characteristic diagram according to the values
of PB and nB.
3. The coefficient design must take into account the efficiency loss of hydraulic coupling or drive unit and shaft coupling.
When making type selection matching for variable speed coupling, the design margin of the rated power of motor relative to the
shaft power of working machine is 1.04~1.06; when making type selection matching for drive unit of coupling, the design
margin of the rated power of motor relative to the shaft power of working machine is 1.06~1.08.
4. The rated slip ratio of hydraulic coupling is 1.5~3%, the range of transmission power listed in the technical parameter
table is that corresponding to the rated slip ratio in high efficiency area, the selection of coupling with the transmission power
beyond the lower limit in the technical parameter table will be favorable to improving the transmission efficiency, but will
reduce the cost performance.
5. When the hydraulic coupling and drive unit are used for centrifugal machinery with M∝n2, the range of speed
regulation is 1~1/5; when they are used for constant torque machinery with M=C, the range of speed regulation is 1~1/3.
6. The characteristics of speed regulation when the hydraulic coupling is matched with different loads (see the attached
characteristic curve diagram).
7. When making type selection, the rotational direction of equipment must be indicated, i.e. when viewing from the end of motor
, the input shaft of coupling and drive unit rotates clockwise or counterclockwise.
Operating principle
The hydraulic coupling is equivalent to a combination of centrifugal pump and hydraulic turbine, the hermetic working chamber
formed between the pump impeller (centrifugal pump) and turbine (hydraulic turbine) is full of liquid (generally mineral oil).
When the prime mover drives the pump impeller to rotate, the pump impeller is just like a centrifugal pump, which makes the
liquid in the working chamber flow along the passage on the blade of pump impeller from inner edge towards outer edge and
impact the turbine at high speed, thus the mechanical energy input by the prime mover is converted into the kinetic energy and
pressure energy of liquid; under the impact of liquid flow, the turbine is started, and meanwhile drives the working machine to
rotate, the turbine is just like a hydraulic turbine which converts the kinetic energy and pressure energy of liquid into the output
mechanical energy. Then, the liquid flows along the passage on the blade of turbine from outer edge towards inner edge and
enters into the pump impeller again, thus beginning the next cycle. Through this kind of repetitive energy conversion, flexible
power transmission is realized between the prime mover and working machine.
Energy-saving principle of hydraulic coupling for speed regulation
The energy conservation benefit of using hydraulic coupling for speed regulation is represented in the following five aspects
:
① Reasonable matching and reduction of installed capacity: because variable speed hydraulic coupling enables no-load starting of the motor with large inertial load, the safety factor can be appropriately reduced in the type selection of motor in
order to avoid the phenomenon of " strong horse pulls a small cart" . Compared with the original rigid drive, one motor base
number can be reduced at least, and the installed capacity can be reduced by 10%~25%, because of economic and reasonable matching, the energy conservation can be realized.
② Reduction of starting power consumption of motor. Because hydraulic coupling solves the difficult problem of start of large-inertia machinery, the starting current of motor is low, the starting duration is short, the impact on electric grid is small and the
power consumption upon starting is low. Especially for multi-motor drive equipment, because application of hydraulic drive can make motors started in delayed time sequentially, it can avoid
impact of simultaneous starting of multiple motors on electric grid, reduces starting current and thus achieves substantial energy
conservation of hydraulic coupling for the machinery with long starting time and frequent starting.
③ Reduction of equipment failure rate and improvement of equipment service life. Because hydraulic coupling has the
functions as of flexible drive, impact mitigation, isolation of torsional vibration, overload protection etc., the application of
hydraulic coupling as the drive can improve drive quality, reduce equipment failure rate and extend equipment service life. For
example, after the dust removal fan has been used for a period of time, it will lose balance due to scaling on the blades. While
application of hydraulic coupling for speed regulation allows flushing the blades with high pressure water at a low rotating
speed, thus enabling the fan to run often under balanced condition and thus increase its service life. Another example, the wear
amount of impeller of slurry pump is proportional to the cube of its speed, application of hydraulic coupling for speed regulation
to make the slurry pump run at reduced speed when it does not require high flow rate, therefore, it can reduce impeller wear and
extend service life.
④ Increase of output. After application of hydraulic coupling for speed regulation, the equipment failure rate and downtime
are reduced, therefore, the output increases accordingly. For example, Shanghai Baosteel No. 3 plant used variable speed type
hydraulic coupling on the dust removal fan of 25t converter for variable speed running, the major overhaul period of the fan was
increased from 329 furnances (times) to 898 furnaces (times), an increase in production of 2360.7t steel was achieved annually
due to reduction of downtime, and the purity and quality of recovered coal gas were somewhat improved.
⑤ Energy conservation due to speed regulation. The energy conservation and benefit in above four aspects all can be achieved
with any equipment adopting the hydraulic coupling drive. Whereas energy conservation through speed regulation can only be a
chieved when applied on centrifugal machinery. It can be known from above analysis, the flow rate of centrifugal machinery is
proportional to the first power of rotating speed, whereas the power is proportional to the cube of rotating speed, therefore, after
the speed is reduced, the power is reduced by a great margin. Wheereas application of hydraulic coupling on constant-moment machine cannot achieve energy conservation, instead, it will cause power consumption due to reduced efficiency.
