SciTech

On the 7th November Yarl Hydracentre will be presenting innovative fluid power products and diagnostic services at SciTech, Sellafield’s largest science, technology & innovation exhibition. The exhibition is held on the Sellafield site and is open to valid Sellafield pass holders, designed to introduce new technologies and innovation to the engineering teams based on the Sellafield site. The exhibits will include energy efficient water hydraulic systems including the revolutionary variable displacement hydraulic pump from the Water Hydraulics Company. These products provide system control not normally associated with water hydraulic systems eliminating the need for large banks of accumulators and back up bottles. The diagnostic system exhibits will feature fluid contamination measurement systems including a new product capable of operating in circuits and systems with variable or no system pressure, parameters which normally present unreliable data acquisition conditions. Proportional control valves are now employed on many fluid power systems. Control intelligence is moving from the plc control to on board the proportional valve. This means system diagnosis is no longer possible from the process control systems alone. Yarl Hydracentre will be presenting diagnostic tools which interrogate the proportional valve, its on board control systems and the input signals to the valve. This diagnostic technology enables the input signals to be directly related to the valve spool position. Faulty valves can be identified instantly, no need to remove and return the manufacturer for analysis, system commissioning is accurate and efficient. Yarl Hydracentre offer these diagnostic tools in addition to pressure, flow and temperature data logging systems for your own maintenance team's use or integrate them into new and existing fluid power systems. Alternatively as part of our complete system diagnostic service our engineers can provide informative and efficient analysis of your processes and fluid power systems.
