How to prevent runaway of motor brake expander?

How to prevent runaway of motor brake expander?
May 25, 2026
Author: DEAR AST

The expander is usually braked by the motor. Its principle is to control the speed of the expander by using the braking torque generated by the generator braking state of the motor. Once the braking motor fails, the speed of the expander will be out of control and it will be over speed. At this time, it is necessary to automatically open the protection and control system. The principle is that the speed measuring motor sends out the overspeed signal to power off the three-way solenoid valve. The three-way solenoid valve directly controls the pneumatic butterfly valve at the inlet of the expander, so that the butterfly valve can be quickly closed and the air inlet is cut off. At the same time, the rotation of the valve rod touches the stop and the limit switch to cut off the power supply of the expander motor, so as to realize the safe shutdown.

1. Before filling with pearlite, the water accumulated on the foundation surface of air separation unit must be removed, dried with hot air, and all manholes shall be closed. 2. When filling pearlite, all containers and pipes in the cold box should be inflated and kept at 50kPa pressure, then slightly open the valve of each meter pipeline, and all thermometers should be electrified to check whether the thermometer cable is damaged during the filling process. 3. The filled pearlite shall not be mixed with combustibles. 4. When filling with pearlite, coarse mesh or pearlite pouring device should be set at the manhole on the top of the cold box to prevent whole bag pearlite from entering the cold box. 5. After the pearlite is filled, the manhole shall be sealed.
