Is there any direct connection device between hydraulic turbines and centrifugal pumps?
Thread Content
When hydraulic turbines are used, a motor with dual shaft extensions is usually installed in between and connected to the centrifugal pump; are there any turbine systems that are connected directly to the centrifugal pump? Which option yields better results?
There is a configuration of turbine + overdrive clutch + pump, which is less commonly used
Yes, it has a coaxial structure, similar to that of compressors and gas recovery turbines. A company in the United States; I came into contact with them a few years ago, but I’ve forgotten their name and can’t find any samples either.
The motor is connected to both the hydraulic turbine and the pump in the middle, so as to recover energy and save electricity while ensuring system stability. At low load, the speed of the hydraulic turbine decreases, the clutch disengages, and the power required by the pump is supplied solely by the motor. If driven directly by a hydraulic turbine, pumps with low capacity cannot start when the system is just brought online.
Hello, original poster! It is likely a direct-connected device manufactured by the American company FEDCO, used primarily in seawater desalination, and it features a co-axial design. If you are interested, feel free to contact me at qq278658014. Thank you!
We have now examined the hydraulic turbines produced by Dalian Leo; theirs do not require couplings. I would like to know what the failure rate is for those that do use couplings
This is possible; many water curtain systems reuse energy recovery systems, and it can also be customized as needed
The flow rate of the water curtain should be quite low, right?
We have conducted inspections; at the Turkmenistan gas refinery, it is American Fox products, manufactured in the Netherlands.
