Application Case

Typical case of diaphragm coupling applied to variable frequency speed control equipment

JMB type coupling is applied to HangZhou Oilfield Thermal Power Plant

According to the requirements of HangZhou Electric Power Corporation, HangZhou Oilfield Thermal Power Plant should dynamically adjust the power generation according to the load of the power grid and market demand, and carry out the transformation of the frequency converter and the suction fan. The motor was originally a 1600KW, 730RPM non-frequency variable speed motor matched by HangZhou Motor Factory. The speed control mode after changing the frequency is manual control. Press the button speed to increase 10RPM or drop 10RPM. The coupling is still the original elastic decoupling coupling, and the elastic de-coupling coupling after frequency conversion is frequently damaged, which directly affects the normal power generation.

It is found through analysis that in the process of frequency conversion speed regulation, the pin of the coupling can not bear the inertia of the speed regulation process (the diameter of the fan impeller is 3.3 meters) and is cut off, which has great damage to the motor and the fan.

Later, they switched to the JMB460 double-diaphragm wheel-type coupling of our factory (patent number: ZL.99246247.9). After 1 hour of destructive experiment and more than 1 year of operation test, the equipment is running very well, and there is no Replace the diaphragm. 12 units have been rebuilt and the operation is in good condition.

Can you explain the Concept of Slip in a Fluid Coupling?

In a fluid coupling, slip refers to the relative speed difference between the impeller and the runner. When the impeller, which is connected to the driving shaft, rotates, it induces the flow of hydraulic fluid inside the coupling. This fluid flow in turn drives the rotation of the runner, which is connected to the driven shaft.

However, due to the operating principle of fluid couplings, there is always a certain amount of slip between the impeller and the runner. This slip occurs because the fluid coupling needs to allow for a small speed difference in order to transmit torque smoothly.

During startup or under heavy load conditions, the impeller’s rotational speed may be slightly higher than the runner’s rotational speed. This speed difference causes the hydraulic fluid to circulate between the impeller and the runner, generating hydrodynamic forces that transmit torque from the driving shaft to the driven shaft.

Slip is an inherent and controlled characteristic of fluid couplings, and it is essential for their smooth operation. However, excessive slip can lead to energy losses and reduced efficiency. Therefore, fluid couplings are designed to have an optimal slip value for specific applications, balancing the need for torque transmission and energy efficiency.

Fluid Coupling: Dealing with Oil Leakage and Sealing Issues

Fluid couplings are designed to be sealed units to prevent the leakage of the internal fluid (usually oil or a similar hydraulic fluid). Proper sealing is crucial for the efficient and reliable operation of the fluid coupling, as any oil leakage can lead to reduced performance, contamination, and potential damage to the surrounding components.

Here are some key factors related to oil leakage and sealing issues in fluid couplings:

• Seal Design: The sealing system in a fluid coupling typically involves shaft seals and gaskets. High-quality seals are essential to prevent oil from escaping and contaminants from entering the coupling. The design and material selection of these seals play a significant role in maintaining effective sealing.
• Installation: Proper installation of the fluid coupling is critical to ensure that the seals are correctly positioned and securely fitted. Any misalignment or damage during installation can lead to oil leakage issues.
• Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to detect and address any potential sealing problems early on. Inspections should be conducted periodically to check for signs of oil leakage, wear on the seals, and any damage to the coupling housing.
• Fluid Selection: The choice of fluid used inside the coupling can also influence its sealing performance. Using the recommended fluid type and quality specified by the manufacturer is essential for maintaining proper sealing.
• Operating Conditions: The operating environment can impact the sealing effectiveness. Extreme temperature variations or harsh working conditions may affect the integrity of the seals over time.

If oil leakage or sealing issues are observed in a fluid coupling, immediate action should be taken to address the problem. This may involve replacing worn-out seals, resealing the coupling, or investigating potential causes such as misalignment or excessive heat generation.

Additionally, regular inspection and maintenance of the fluid coupling can help prevent sealing problems before they escalate. Early detection and appropriate maintenance can extend the lifespan of the fluid coupling and ensure reliable power transmission in various industrial applications.

Consulting with the manufacturer or a qualified engineer for guidance on proper maintenance and troubleshooting of fluid coupling sealing issues is recommended.

Maintenance Practices for Fluid Couplings

Regular maintenance is crucial to keep a fluid coupling in good condition and ensure its longevity. Here are the key maintenance practices:

1. Fluid Level Checks: Regularly inspect the fluid level in the fluid coupling. Maintain the fluid level within the recommended range specified by the manufacturer.
2. Fluid Quality: Monitor the quality of the fluid in the fluid coupling. Check for any signs of contamination, degradation, or discoloration. If the fluid shows signs of wear, replace it following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
3. Fluid Replacement: As part of routine maintenance, consider replacing the fluid periodically, even if there are no visible signs of wear. Fluid replacement intervals may vary based on the application and operating conditions.
4. Lubrication: Ensure proper lubrication of the fluid coupling components, including bearings and seals, as specified by the manufacturer.
5. Inspections: Regularly inspect the fluid coupling for any signs of leaks, damage, or unusual noises during operation. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
6. Alignment: Verify that the fluid coupling is correctly aligned with the connected equipment. Misalignment can lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
7. Coupling Bolts: Check and tighten the coupling bolts as needed to maintain proper coupling integrity.
8. Temperature Monitoring: Monitor the operating temperature of the fluid coupling. Elevated temperatures may indicate an issue that needs attention.
9. Vibration Analysis: Periodically perform vibration analysis to detect any abnormal vibrations that could indicate potential problems.
10. Manufacturer Guidelines: Follow the maintenance guidelines and recommendations provided by the fluid coupling manufacturer.

By adhering to these maintenance practices, you can extend the life of your fluid coupling, improve its reliability, and minimize the risk of unexpected failures.
