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.

In the process of operation, especially in the start-up and shutdown of the air separation unit, one-way force should be avoided on the instrument. During the start-up of the equipment, close the high pressure and low pressure valves firstly, then open the balance valve, and then slowly open the high pressure (or low pressure) valve, so that the measured medium can enter the positive (negative) pressure chamber of the transmitter. If the liquid is to be measured, the gas in the positive (negative) pressure chamber should be discharged from the upper vent. If the gas is measured, drain the liquid accumulated in the positive (negative) pressure chamber from the lower drain screw hole. After discharging the gas (liquid), close the balance valve, and then open the valve on the other side. When the equipment is shut down, the high pressure (or low pressure) valve should be closed first, then the balance valve should be opened, and then the valve should be closed on the other side.
