PRODUCTS HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS PERISTALTIC PANEL MOUNT PUMP SOLUTION
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has advanced its OEM panel mount solution, DriveSure, with the latest technology to offer a complete peristaltic panel mount pump solution for OEMs. According to the company, with Industrial Ethernet capability, DriveSure simplifies integration into advanced
distributed control systems and offers end-users remote monitoring and control. DriveSure integrates motor, mounting and in-house closed-loop control technology to reduce development times and risks for OEMs in sourcing their own motor/mounting solutions. In addition, DriveSure is available with 114DV, 313/314D, 400RXMD and 520 Watson-Marlow pumpheads. Being cool, quiet and compact, it is suitable for laboratories, cleanrooms, hospitals and process environments. Robin Proctor, product manager - panel mount pumps at WMFTS, commented: “Our
software, electronics and design teams have worked hard together to develop our latest generation motor control technology to a standard expected from industry-leading motion control brands. Combined with our expertise in peristaltic technology, the result is WMFTS’ latest generation OEM pump solution for precise process control in a cool, compact and quiet form. DriveSure is easier than ever for OEMs to test, integrate and install. End-users of systems incorporating DriveSure pumps can expect precise process control.”

As a supplier of hydraulic solutions, VHS Hydraulic Components has delivered an innovative system for the construction industry. The company has integrated a Bosch Rexroth M4-15/M4-12 Combo Valve with a customised Scanreco Radio Remote Control System for a piling mast conversion to be mounted on a 30t excavator as an attachment. The M4 Valve comprises a combination of 2 x M4-15 and 7 x M4-12 working

COMPACT COOLER BELLHOUSINGS WITHSTAND HIGH PRESSURE PEAKS
Compact in design, the KPV series cooler bellhousings from R+L Hydraulics are said to offer top cooling performance while withstanding high pressure peaks of up to 16 bar long term. Popular within the oil hydraulics
sector, cooler bellhousings are damping connecting elements between the electric motor and hydraulic pump in combination with an oil-air cooler. “Our top priority in the
development of this series was to the integrate a cooling element which withstands dynamic pressure loads without loss of cooling power,” explained Patrick Laupitz, head of the domestic sales team at R+L Hydraulics. “According to the requirements of users and by means of dynamic fatigue strain tests, we have developed a prismatic cooling element which continually withstands pressure peaks of up to 16 bar.” Prismatic cooling elements provide the high cooling
performance in the series. These allow the coolers to be installed into the mainly pressureless return line. “In certain configurations, pressure peaks can occur
that cannot be determined with conventional pressure measuring devices,” explains Laupitz. “For example, this is often the case when a pressurised cylinder is relieved in milliseconds towards the return line by an electromagnetic valve. Due to inertia and friction, it is often impossible to protect the cooler from occurring pressure peaks, which has in the past led to occasional breakdowns of the heat exchanger due to recurring pressure peaks. This is now a thing of the past in the KPV series.” Available in various designs, KPV series cooler bellhousings
are compatible in accordance with VDMA 24 561. These are for manufactured motor sizes of 80 to 180l in noise- damping versions and can be combined with foot brackets. R+L Hydraulics also manufactures a wide range of
components for fluid and power transmission products, including industrial couplings and hydraulic accessories such as torsional and jaw couplings, bellhousings, damping elements, heat exchangers, coolers and hydraulic tanks.

SUBSEA PUMP COLLABORATION
Sulzer Flow Equipment has been selected by TechnipFMC to collaborate in developing new subsea
CO2 pump solutions for new technologies. Petrobras’ high-pressure separation technology,
HISEP, enables the separation of CO2-rich natural gas from oil at the seabed. The process has the potential to provide significant gains in energy efficiency and productivity to Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels while reducing costs and emissions. The new pump technology will support and
enable the gas stream, rich in CO2, to be separated and pumped immediately back into the reservoir at
the seabed, 2000m below the water line, allowing 54 DESIGN SOLUTIONS JUNE 2024
FPSOs to improve their efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint, further enhancing production. Sulzer is now supplying three customised 6 MW
high-pressure centrifugal (HPcp) pumps for Petrobras’ planned HISEP pilot project in the Brazilian pre-salt oil region. Upon delivery, the pumps will be tested and validated to the highest standards in a purpose-built laboratory at the Federal University of Itajuba. Jonathan Lloyd, head of the Flow Equipment
Energy and Infrastructure Business Unit, said: “We are excited to work with TechnipFMC and Petrobras to bring this remarkable new technology to life. By avoiding the need to process CO2 on the
FPSO, this collaboration allows significant energy efficiency and topside space advantages. The project underscores Sulzer’s long-term heritage and commitment to innovation, cementing it as a leader in new pump technology, as well as its value in close partnerships to drive cleaner, more efficient and profitable growth.”
