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.

Contribution of Fluid Coupling to the Longevity of Connected Equipment

A fluid coupling plays a crucial role in enhancing the longevity and protecting the connected equipment by providing the following benefits:

• Shock Load Damping: When the equipment starts or stops, there can be sudden changes in torque, resulting in shock loads. The fluid coupling absorbs and dampens these shock loads, reducing stress and wear on the connected equipment.
• Torsional Vibration Damping: Torsional vibrations can occur during the operation of the connected equipment, which can be damaging over time. The fluid coupling acts as a torsional damper, reducing these vibrations and preventing potential fatigue failure in the equipment.
• Overload Protection: In case of sudden overloads or jamming of the connected equipment, the fluid coupling can slip and decouple the load, protecting both the equipment and the driving motor from excessive stress and damage.
• Smooth Startup: During startup, the fluid coupling allows a gradual increase in torque, enabling a smooth and controlled acceleration of the connected equipment. This eliminates sudden jerks and reduces mechanical stress during the startup phase.
• Load Distribution: The fluid coupling distributes the load evenly across the connected equipment, minimizing wear and tear on specific components and extending the overall lifespan of the machinery.
• Reduced Maintenance: By reducing shock loads and vibrations, the fluid coupling helps decrease the frequency of maintenance and repairs required for the connected equipment, resulting in cost savings and improved uptime.
• Energy Efficiency: The fluid coupling allows for efficient power transmission by reducing losses during startup and load changes. This, in turn, helps in lowering the overall energy consumption of the system and contributes to equipment longevity.
• Contamination Prevention: The fluid coupling encapsulates the driving and driven components, providing a barrier that helps prevent contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the equipment’s internal components. This protection can extend the life of bearings and other sensitive parts.

Overall, a fluid coupling acts as a protective intermediary between the driving motor and the connected equipment, enhancing the system’s reliability, efficiency, and longevity by mitigating the effects of shocks, vibrations, and overloads.

Role of Fluid Coupling in Reducing Mechanical Stress on Connected Equipment

A fluid coupling is a mechanical device used to transmit power between two shafts without direct physical contact. It plays a crucial role in reducing mechanical stress on connected equipment, offering several benefits in various industrial applications. Here’s how a fluid coupling achieves this:

• Smooth Power Transmission: Fluid couplings use hydraulic principles to transmit torque. When the input shaft (driving shaft) rotates, it imparts motion to the fluid inside the coupling. The fluid transmits torque to the output shaft (driven shaft) through the hydraulic coupling, resulting in smooth and gradual power transmission. This eliminates sudden jerks and mechanical shocks that could otherwise lead to increased stress on connected equipment.
• Damping Effect: Fluid couplings act as a damping element, absorbing vibrations and torsional oscillations from the driving shaft. This damping effect helps reduce mechanical stress on connected equipment by mitigating the impact of sudden load changes and torsional vibrations that may occur during start-ups, shut-downs, or varying operating conditions.
• Torque Limiting: In high-load situations, a fluid coupling can provide torque limiting capabilities. When the load exceeds a certain threshold, the fluid coupling slips, preventing excessive torque from reaching the driven shaft. This feature acts as a protective mechanism, preventing overloading and mechanical stress on both the coupling and connected equipment.
• Shock Absorption: In applications where shock loads or overloads are common, a fluid coupling can absorb and dampen the impact of such events. This ability to cushion shocks prevents abrupt changes in torque and rotational speed, reducing mechanical stress and potential damage to the equipment.
• Speed Control: In certain applications, fluid couplings can facilitate speed control of the driven shaft by adjusting the amount of fluid in the coupling. The ability to control the speed of connected equipment without abrupt changes contributes to smoother operation and lower mechanical stress.

By incorporating a fluid coupling into a power transmission system, mechanical stress on connected equipment can be significantly reduced, leading to improved equipment reliability, extended component life, and reduced maintenance costs. Fluid couplings are commonly used in heavy machinery, conveyors, crushers, mining equipment, marine propulsion systems, and various other industrial applications where smooth and controlled power transmission is critical.

It is important to select the appropriate fluid coupling size, type, and features based on the specific application requirements to ensure optimal performance and stress reduction. Regular maintenance and adherence to the manufacturer’s guidelines are essential to preserve the benefits of using fluid couplings and maintain their effectiveness in reducing mechanical stress on connected equipment.

Comparison: Fluid Coupling vs. Torque Converter

Fluid couplings and torque converters are both hydrodynamic devices used in automotive and industrial applications to transmit power between an engine and a driven load. While they share some similarities, they also have distinct differences:

• Function: The primary function of both fluid couplings and torque converters is to transmit rotational power from the engine to the transmission or driven load. They allow for smooth power transmission and provide a degree of isolation between the engine and the load.
• Construction: Both devices consist of an impeller, a turbine, and a housing filled with hydraulic fluid (usually oil). The impeller is connected to the engine’s crankshaft, the turbine to the transmission/input shaft, and the housing is shared between the two.
• Torque Transmission: In a fluid coupling, the power is transmitted purely through hydrodynamic principles. The impeller accelerates the fluid, which then drives the turbine. However, there is no torque multiplication, and the output speed is always slightly less than the input speed. On the other hand, a torque converter can provide torque multiplication due to its stator, which redirects the fluid flow and increases the torque transmitted to the turbine.
• Lock-up Clutch: Some torque converters have a lock-up clutch that can mechanically connect the impeller and the turbine at higher speeds. This effectively eliminates the slip between the two elements and increases overall efficiency, similar to the operation of a fluid coupling at higher speeds.
• Automotive Use: Torque converters are commonly used in automatic transmissions in vehicles, while fluid couplings were more prevalent in older manual transmissions. However, modern manual transmissions generally use clutch systems instead of fluid couplings.
• Efficiency: Fluid couplings are generally more efficient than torque converters, especially at higher speeds. Torque converters can experience efficiency losses due to fluid slippage and the operation of the stator.
• Applications: Fluid couplings find applications in various industrial machinery, such as conveyors, pumps, and crushers, where the priority is smooth power transmission and overload protection. Torque converters are primarily used in vehicles, offering the benefit of automatic gear shifting and torque multiplication during acceleration.

Overall, both fluid couplings and torque converters play essential roles in power transmission, but their specific design and application characteristics determine their suitability for different use cases.
