“This hydrodynamic torque converter with combined speed and torque variation is mainly used on hyperbolic or constant torque applications or any mixed characteristic“, explains Derain Pillay – Voith Divisional Manager – Energy, Oil & Gas. The liquid flow, produced by the pump, drives the turbine; the power is constantly controlled by the converter which decreases output speeds resulting in energy savings.

 

Voith‘s range of torque converters are engineered to suit any power conversion application providing a wide speed range and a flat efficiency curve. The torque converters are equipped with anti friction bearings on the input side and sleeve bearings on the output side. Available power ranges from 280 kW up to 3,700kW. Also available is a torque converter with continuous turning gear and a two position solenoid valve for guide vane adjustment with power ranging from 2,200kW to 10,000kW.

 

Pillay states that two of the main features of these torque converters are the ease of installation and low operation costs. ”The shock and vibration dampening ensure minimal downtime risk with over load protection motors managing any risk areas while maintenance costs are kept low,” adds Pillay. According to Pillay, the successful performance and operation of a product is determined to a very large extent by the quality of the service that is provided. “Voith prides itself with renowned service abilities which includes a toll free 24/7 helpline for fast and competent assistance”.               

 

“The Voith start-up kit, which includes bearings; seals and filter elements, ensures an optimal supply of essential parts for the starting phase. Our service team will ensure that the product runs smoothly after installation while Voith’s follow-up support and health check will help to avoid any operating errors minimising downtime risk. Voith service also includes personnel training on how to operate and maintain Voith products”, concludes Pillay.
