Valve Actuation

 

Electro-Hydraulic Emergency Shut Down Actuator

 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ESDŽ Electro-Hydraulic Power Module consist of an electrically driven pump motor, control solenoid valves, speed controls and electrical enclosure with controls and limit switch.  It is designed to provide power to a hydraulic torque mechanism consisting of a double acting hydraulic piston that is used to position a pipeline valve to an open or closed position on control signal.  This system consists of a scotch yoke double acting rotary torque mechanism, a motor driven hydraulic pump and reservoir.  A hydraulic accumulator for stored energy, pressure gauge, start, stop, speed controls and limit switches with direction indicator.

Actuator is shipped with the hydraulic components attached to the actuator as well as valve mounting hardware.  This actuator requires an electrical connection for 460/3/60 power and 24 VDC for control signal, it will fail close on loss of control signal or power.

The power module contains an electric motor driven gear pump unit that generates hydraulic pressure for remote automatic operation; it is equipped with a manual pump, which may be used to manually open the valve if no power is available to operate the electric motor driven pump.   

When AC power is available the power unit automatically charges and maintains charge to the hydraulic accumulator.  Stored hydraulic energy from the accumulator is used to operate the actuator.
