Development and supply of an analogue of the Voith SVNL750 fluid coupling with a full cycle of engineering services for large petrochemical production

Project Objective

In front of the customer stood difficult task: A Voith SVNL750 fluid coupling used in critical industrial equipment needed to be replaced. The key requirements were:

• Full compliance with the original in terms of characteristics and reliability;

• Reduce costs without sacrificing quality;

• Short delivery times.

Key implementation features:

➣ Full compliance with the original in terms of dimensions and technical characteristics (torque, efficiency, temperature conditions) for the possibility of “hot replacement”.

➣ Adaptation to Russian operational norms and documentation standards.

➣ Optimization of cooling system design taking into account limited space.

➣ Reduced delivery times without loss of quality.

EnergoFront solution: professionalism of the foreign economic activity department in action

The engineers of the foreign economic activity department took on the full cycle of work: they found a reliable manufacturer, organized work to coordinate technical requirements and carried out flawless implementation of the project:

• An audit of production capacity at a contract enterprise in China was carried out, and production with the necessary technological equipment was selected.

• A testing program has been developed, including load tests and temperature testing.

• Full tests were carried out, in which all technical characteristics were confirmed.

Engineering improvements

To optimize the cooling system, a compact tubular heat exchanger made of white copper was used, which provided:

✔ High heat transfer

✔ Minimize size without sacrificing performance

Certification and support:

✔ Documentation has been prepared in accordance with TR CU.

Fluid coupling specifications

Drive equipment power, kW – 623 kW

Input speed – 1,490 rpm.

Nominal output speed – 1,446 rpm.

Speed control range – 60~97 %

Nominal slip – 1,5–3 %

Result

✔ A complete analogue of the Voith SVNL750 has been successfully produced while maintaining all the performance properties, but at a cost 30% lower than the original

✔ Service life – 20 years, warranty – up to 24 months

✔ Delivery a month earlier scheduled date

✔ Difficulties with dimensions and cooling are solved thanks to engineering improvements

The customer received a high-quality replacement of the original fluid coupling with a reduction in time and costs.
EnergoFront Company has demonstrated the ability to implement complex engineering solutions – from selecting a reliable manufacturer and adapting to Russian standards to optimizing the design to individual customer requirements in an accelerated timeframe, offering a full replacement for the original fluid coupling with a quality guarantee and significant savings.
