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.

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
