Hydraulic Coupling
Hydraulic Coupling is used to transmit Power in a wear-free manner from a prime mover (driving machine) to a power consumer(driven machine-pump). the power is transmitted in the following way:-
* by means of a connecting coupling between the driving machine and geared variable speed coupling.
* by means of a step-up gear unit between the input shaft and primary shaft.
* hydro-dynamically by means of the working oil between the primary wheel and the secondary wheel.
* by means of connecting coupling between the driving machine and geared variable speed coupling.
The control at the hydraulic coupling is done by the scoop tube control, it provide infinitely variable adjustment of the driven machine's speed. the power from the driving machine is transmitted to the primary wheel to the working oil, the working oil is accelerated in the primary wheel, and the mechanical energy is converted into the energy of fluid flow. the secondary wheel picks up the flow energy and converts it into mechanical energy. this energy is transmitted to the driven machine.
Speed Control :
The speed of the driven machine is infinitely variable. this is accomplished by varying the amount of oil in the coupling during operation with the aid of the adjustable scoope tube.
* Scoop tube advanced as far as possible into the scoop champer of the coupling (0% position):minimum oil ring , minimum speed.
* Scoop tube retracted as far as possible out of the scoop champer of the coupling (100% position): maximum oil ring, maximum output speed.
