Abstract:
The invention relates to a total power regulation device for two pumps (2, 42), each of which is connected to a working conduit (5, 45). The delivery volume of the pumps (2, 42) can be set separately by a respective adjusting device (6, 46), whereby a control pressure that is active in each adjusting device (6, 46) can be set by a total power regulation valve (18, 58). The latter (18, 58) has a measuring surface (24, 64) of the total power regulation valve (18, 58) of one pump (2, 42) can be directly exposed to the working pressure of the other pump (42, 2).

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a hydraulic-pump controller that is capable of controlling absorbed pump torque in good balance against engine output at all times. In this hydraulic-pump controller, the discharge flow rates of the operating oil that are discharged from hydraulic pumps (9, 10) according to manipulation of manipulation units (12, 13) are predicted based on the discharge pressure of the hydraulic pumps (9, 10) that are driven by an engine (1), and based on the manipulation amount of the manipulation units (12, 13) that manipulate hydraulic actuators (27, 28), or a physical quantity correlating with the manipulation amount. Based on the predicted discharge flow rates and the discharge pressure, the absorbed torque of the hydraulic pumps is computed. Then, the predictive engine speed of the engine (11) is computed from the absorbed torque of the hydraulic pumps (9, 10) computed. Based on the deviation between the computed predictive engine speed and the actual engine speed of the engine (11), the regulators (12, 13) of the hydraulic pumps (9, 10) are controlled.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a variable displacement hydraulic pump having a swashplate pivotally attached to the pump. The method and apparatus includes determining a desired swashplate angle as a function of a power limit of the pump, determining an actual swashplate angle, determining a value of discharge pressure of the pump, moving a servo valve spool to a desired position as a function of the desired swashplate angle, the actual swashplate angle and the discharge pressure, and responsively moving the swashplate to the desired swashplate angle position.
Abstract:
A pump enable system includes a variable-displacement piston pump having a displacement control device. The displacement control device controls displacement of pistons in the pump based on a position thereof, and a position control system in the pump controls a position of the displacement control device based on a load on the pump. An over-ride system selectively over-rides the position control system such that the displacement control device assumes a position which reduces displacement of the pistons in the pump.
Abstract:
A pump system includes a variable fluid displacement pump having a pressure line which is connected to a pressure load and connected to a load sensing control. A variable orifice is located downstream from the load sensing control. The variable orifice is fluidly connected to the load sensing control in a servo pressure conduit such that the margin pressure varies proportionally with respect to the fluid displacement Of the pump. The variable orifice can take many different forms, including a variable cross sectional area gap between the housing and an elongated servo piston longitudinally slidable therein. A longitudinal slot having uniformly increasing depth along the length of the servo piston gives the servo piston a cross sectional area which varies along its length. Thus, a variable orifice results.

A system and method for operating a fleet of pumps for a turbine driven fracturing pump system used in hydraulic fracturing is disclosed. A method of operating a fleet of pumps associated with a hydraulic fracturing system includes receiving a demand Hydraulic Horse Power (HHP) signal. The demand HHP signal may include the Horse Power (HP) required for the hydraulic fracturing system to operate and may include consideration for frictional and other losses. The method further includes operating all available pump units at a percentage of rating below Maximum Continuous Power (MCP) level, based on the demand HHP signal. Furthermore, the method may include receiving a signal for loss of power from one or more pump units. The method further includes operating one or more units at MCP level and operating one or more units at Maximum Intermittent Power (MIP) level to meet the demand HHP signal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a hydrostatic drive having at least one first hydraulic consumer and one second hydraulic consumer. The two hydraulic consumers are driven by a common drive machine. First of all, a first power requirement of the first hydraulic consumer is determined (20). Proceeding from the determined first power requirement, the free power which is available as a result of the common drive machine is determined (21). This available free power of the common drive machine is scaled onto a possible actuating path of a control transmitter for the working hydraulics (22). A position of the control transmitter for actuating the second hydraulic consumer is determined (23) and a power requirement is assigned on the basis of the scaled available free power. An operating point of the common drive machine is fixed from the first power requirement and the second power requirement (24).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and to a device for operating an electric peristaltic hose pump, in particular a hose pump for transporting fluids in medical-technical devices, in particular extracorporeal blood treatment devices. In order to monitor the regular operation of a hose pump, the power consumption of the pump or a physical variable in correlation with the power consumption, in particular the pump flow, is monitored. The pump flow includes a periodically non-altering direct component which is superimposed on a periodically altering alternating component. In order to monitor the regular operation of the hose pump, the alternating component of the power consumption in relation to the direct component of the power consumption is monitored as whether it increases and/or decreases during blood treatment.
