Voith will be presenting its solutions for the power industry at Electrify Europe 2018.
The BHS AeroMaXX technology for parallel-shaft gear units enables operators to reduce power loss and oil consumption by up to 30%. It minimizes losses by separating lubrication and cooling while no additional accessories are needed due to its passive mechanical construction.
SmartSet torque limiting couplings help to protect drivelines from torque overloads. The coupling slips when the rated torque is exceeded and limits the torque between the generator and the turbine if a fault occurs. The special controlled slip feature of SmartSet enables the coupling only to disconnect the drive in rare event of a driveline major failure.
The VECO-Drive is a variable speed drive that combines the superior reliability of mechanical gears with the high efficiency of frequency-controlled servo motors. VoreconNX is a planetary gear for compressors and pumps in steam applications increasing efficiency by up to 8%. It helps the power industry to save both total costs of ownership and life cycle costs.
The SelCon self-contained actuator is a linear, electrohydraulic drive without external oil supply. TurCon DTc is a compact and cost-effective steam turbine controller which ensures a highly reliable operation of power plants. All these service solutions help power plant operators to reduce downtimes and maintenance costs.
