Voith Turbo has developed a new subsea hydrodynamic variable-speed drive for speed control of underwater multiphase pumps.
The drive is designed to transmit up to 10MW and is based on the hydrodynamic torque convertor principle.
The new drive concept offers significant capital cost savings and increased reliability compared with conventional variable-frequency drive systems.
Further claims include: very high reliability and availability; low space requirements; low maintenance cost; easy installation; simple cable connection; shock and vibration damping; no overload of drive motor during operation; and no harmonics.
The drive is suitable for use with both twin screw pumps and rotodynamic pumps.
