Nordic Flow Control Valve Remote Control Systems 1

HYDRAULIC VALVE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

OVERVIEW
Nordic Flow Controls compact design for our Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Systems does not compromise on
power. Our systems operate at a higher torque level even with our smaller actuators. Submerged applications are
available, and maintenance is possible even during operation. By having a hand pump in a deck box with solenoid
valves, manual operations are now possible.
Our Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Systems are tried and tested in the harshest conditions. The system consists of
the hydraulic actuator, a power unit, solenoid valve cabinet, and the control station with operating system.
Our actuators and control systems are able to match and operate valves with no limitations.
BENEFITS
Able to operate bigger size valves with smaller actuators
Able to use for submerged applications
Cost effcient
Reliable
Able to operate at hazardous areas
Simplicity of design and control

COMPONENTS
ACTUATORS
Nordic Flow Controls actuators are manufactured using sophisticated machinery in our own production plant. They
convert hydraulic energy directly into a mechanical rotating movement by using the rack and pinion principle, elimi-
nating cost from intensive servicing, maintenance and the sensitivity of transmission elements.
Our actuators are created for durability, performance and cost effectiveness. Our new NRA series actuators are now
more compact and provide higher torque at even smaller sizes. They have a longer life span, with higher effciency.
Polymer bearings for smaller actuators and ball bearings for bigger actuators are used to reduce friction between the
parts. Mounting is according to ISO5211 standards, but can be customised to meet other requirements.
With no need for valves to be dismounted, maintenance work during normal operations is possible, cutting down-
time needed for repairs. A set of repair kit will be provided for every actuator supplied.

enables the auxiliary input to cut-in automatically.
The control unit consists of a local starter cabinet or a remote operation panel in the control console with a manual
switch for selecting the pump to be operated, giving the end user the exibility to control the necessary functions
both remotely and locally.

LOCAL INDICATOR
Nordic Flow Control Local Indicator is used to display the position of the valve (OPEN/CLOSE) locally if the valve is in
a submerged location. Once the incoming pressure exceeds the pressure setting on the pressure relief valve inside
the local indicator, the oil would ow to a small chamber, causing the piston to move towards one side; as a result
the indicator would defect and gives the OPEN/CLOSE status of the valve.

Nordic Flow Control Valve Remote Control Systems 33
Transmission Gears
The gear drive system is composed of 2 reduction stages:
The rst stage: A planetary system driven directly by a pinion on the motor drive shaft.
The second stage: Driven by the satellite wheels of the planetary gear consisting of a worm and wheel gear
type.
Since the planetary system permits a high speed reduction with an excellent effciency, the subsequent gear is
driven at a relatively low speed which ensures a better overall effciency than normal standard gear designs. The
gears are mechanically irreversible.
Emergency Hand Wheel
In case of loss of power supply or a faulty control system, the presence of a hand wheel enables the operator to
easily drive the valve to any required position manually.
Position Indicator
A visual position indicator allows for a clear indication of the current valve position. In fact, this indicator is
mechanically linked to the valve shaft.
Travel Limit Switches
Adjustment of travel limit switches is simply accomplished with a standard screwdriver, no disassembly is required.
This reduces downtime due to maintenance.
Asynchronous Motors
The asynchronous motor technology offers the highest ratio of starting torque versus nominal torque. Thus, the
actuator maximum torque capacity is available from the beginning of travel to unseat the valve.
Motor Thermal Protection
A built-in motor thermal switch protects the motor from excessive overheating conditions.
Torque Sensors
The output torque for valve operation is permanently measured by the lever deection of the planetary gear
external crown. This crown gear is maintained in position by two calibrated linear springs which can be set
independently for each rotational direction to a desired torque value.
In the event the torque setting is reached, the crown lever compresses the spring to a point where a microswitch
is tripped.
As this unique system is mechanically friction-free, exceptional precision and repeatability are obtained, which is
highly appreciated when the device has to close on torque.
Detachable Drive Bush
The output drive socket can be easily removed from the actuator, without the use of any special tool, for adaptation
to the valve shaft.
Lifetime Lubrication
The gear design permits lifelong lubrication by grease, thus reducing periodic maintenance requirements
considerably.

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC UNIT (EHU)
The NORDIC Electro-Hydraulic Unit (EHU) is an integrated electro-hydraulic valve remote control system used for
controlling valves and actuators remotely, developed to be mounted directly on Nordics actuators on board vessels
and offshore platforms.
The EHU consists of a hydraulic pump driven by an electric motor. When in operation, the oil is siphoned from the
tank through the suction flter to the pump, which then goes through the pilot operated check valve to the actuator
port, causing the actuator to open the valves.
When the valve is fully opened, the motor will be stopped by a limit switch. The actuator in this instance will be
hydraulically locked in position by the pilot check valve. Emergency operation can be conducted for both double and
single acting EHU using the manual override using a portable hand pump connecting to the quick coupling port.
For single acting EHU, during loss of power, it causes hydraulic pressure drop and normally closed 2/2-way solenoid
poppet valve open contact. Compressed spring will be released and quickly closes the valve for safety purpose.
Alternatively, NORDIC Electro-Hydraulic actuators can be operated locally through a Local Control Box. The Local
Control Box contains two push buttons for OPEN and CLOSE functions, and a Local/Remote key to choose the
mode of control, whether locally or remotely.
In addition, Electro-Hydraulic actuators can be interfaced through PROFIBUS.
ABOUT PROFIBUS
Applications
PROFIBUS is able to seamlessly connect all types of devices without having
to isolate process instruments from discrete devices with a second bus. In
particular, PROFIBUS DP can be used to easily and reliably integrate Motor
Control Centers (MCC), variable speed drives and switching gear with
control systems.
PROFIBUS PA, which integrates seamlessly to DP, is used to network
and provide power to feld instruments. Both media types support the
PROFIsafe profle for process safety, which allows the use of distributed
fail-safe I/O.
The system is applied to network control of electro-hydraulic operated
valves for ballast, bilge and fuel & cargo oil handling valve remote control
systems. PROFIBUS DP serial communication is ideally suited to the control
of NORDIC EHU. The PROFIBUS DP network can operate over a range of
communication speeds and provides the mechanism for control of the
actuator and feedback of EHU. The latest NORDIC EHU PROFIBUS DP
cards support standard PROFIBUS DP.
Advantages
Suitable for marine applications
Adaptable for applications like easy plug and play
Capable of remote operation without any bus interface (bus optional)
Override possible on the Electro-Hydraulic itself through a Local Control Box or manually through a portable
hand pump
The standard GSD fles allow all PROFIBUS DP master devices to easily confgure the system
Standardized I/O System reduces the number of spares needed
A network using PROFIBUS DP provides a cost effective method for connecting EHU in any location to the
central control system simply and effciently
