Features
POWER GENERATION:
- The Hydraulic Power Generator utilizes the flow rate and differential pressure (delta P) of the hydraulic fluid to generate power.
- The movement of the fluid, such as water, pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft.
- The force of the fluid on the blades rotates the rotor shaft of the generator, converting the mechanical (kinetic) energy into electrical energy.
- This electrical energy can be utilized to power various devices and systems.
Ceramic Bearings:
- Equipped with ceramic bearings that provide exceptional durability and a long operational
life span. - Ceramic bearings offer high strength, low friction, and superior resistance to wear and corrosion.
- The inclusion of ceramic bearings ensures trouble-free performance and reduces the need for frequent maintenance or replacements.
Turbine Speed Control:
- The turbine speed is controlled using a differential control pilot.
- The differential control pilot adjusts the flow rate and pressure differentials within the hydraulic system, regulating the turbine speed effectively.
- This control mechanism enables precise control over the power generation process, optimizing efficiency and performance.
Water and Electrical Safety:
The Hydraulic Power Generator does not have moving seals in the turbine, eliminating the risk of water coming into contact with electrical parts. This design feature ensures the safety of both the equipment and the operator. It also minimizes the potential for water-related hazards and enhances the overall reliability and safety of the system.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS:
The Hydraulic Power Generator is designed for the following applications:
Power Supply for Low Power Consumption Devices:
- Ideal for providing power to low-power consumption devices, such as sensors, monitoring systems, and small-scale electronics.
- Offers a reliable and sustainable source of energy, particularly in situations where access to traditional power sources is limited.
On-Site Charging of Batteries (12V to 24V DC):
Enables convenient and efficient on-site charging of batteries with voltages ranging from 12V to 24V DC.
Particularly suitable for off-grid locations or remote areas where a stable power supply is not readily available.
Eliminates system failures on Pressure Management Systems due to flat batteries.
