1 Voith Turbo Coupling with

Constant Fill
1.1 Function

Blade wheels Shell

Fig. 1

The Voith turbo coupling is a hydrodynamic coupling working to the Föttinger principle.
Its main elements consist of two blade wheels - the pump impeller and the turbine
wheel - enclosed by a shell. Both wheels are provided with bearings relative to each
other. The power is transmitted with hardly any wear, there is no mechanical contact
between the power-transmitting parts. A constant amount of operating fluid is in the
coupling.
The mechanical energy provided by the drive motor is converted into kinetic energy of
the operating fluid in the connected pump impeller. In the turbine wheel, this kinetic
energy is reconverted into mechanical energy.

Turbo Coupling with Constant Fill
Voith Turbo Coupling with Constant Fill

Three conditions are to be considered with regard to the coupling function:

Standstill
The whole operating fluid rests in the
coupling.

Fig. 2

Starting condition
The pump impeller accelerates the
operating fluid with increasing motor
speed causing a circulating flow in the
working chamber. The whole blade
space of the turbine wheel is flooded,
and the turbine wheel starts to move as a
result of the kinetic energy of the fluid
flow. The coupling characteristic curve
determines the torque curve during start-
up.

Fig. 3

Nominal operation
During nominal operation, only the torque
required by the driven machine is
transmitted. The low speed difference
Installation and Operating Manual / Version 11 / 3626-011000

between pump impeller and turbine wheel

(the so-called rated slip) results in a
stationary flow condition in the coupling.

WARNING

Explosion hazard
In case of non-adherence to the conditions for explosion protection, there is the
risk of explosion.
• The connecting couplings supplied by Voith meet the requirements for the
use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• If connecting couplings are used which are not included in Voith’s scope of
supply, an explosion-protection approval is required, otherwise there is a risk
of explosion!

Flexible connecting couplings

– A flexible connecting coupling couples the turbo coupling with a shaft journal.
– After the alignment, deviations of position remain between turbo coupling and
shaft journal. The flexible connecting coupling absorbs these deviations of
position.

Draining
The quantity and type of operating fluid used substantially determines the
performance of the turbo coupling.
– A too high quantity stresses the drive motor more on start-up and results in a
higher stall torque.
– A too low quantity thermally loads the turbo coupling more and results in a lower
stall torque.

WARNING

Risk of burning
The turbo coupling gets warm during operation.
• Please observe, in particular,  Chapter 5 (Safety) when working on the
turbo coupling!
• Start to work on the turbo coupling only after it has cooled down.

Temperature monitoring

19 Temperature monitoring
SAFETY INFORMATION

The thermal switch units MTS and BTS can be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres to monitor the temperature. The signals serve for pre-warning. The
MTS or BTS do not limit the maximum surface temperature.
The BTS-Ex is available as safety device to limit the maximum surface tem-
perature, and it can be used as thermal switch-off device.
Also in this case, it is not allowed to replace the existing fusible plugs by fusible
plugs with different nominal response temperatures or by blind screws.
Never bypass safety devices!

DANGER

Electric shock
Electric voltage may kill or severely injure you
• A qualified electrician has to properly carry out the connection to the electric
supply network considering the system voltage and the maximum power con-
sumption!
• The system voltage has to be in conformity with the system voltage indicated
on the nameplate!
• There has to be a corresponding electrical protection by a fuse on the
network side.

The temperature in the turbo coupling can be monitored by means of a limit switch or
a temperature instrument.
The following systems are available as limit switch:
– a mechanical MTS system
– an electronic BTS system
These limit switches serve to monitor the temporarily permissible peak temperature,
and to prevent a response of the fusible plugs provided the overload is eliminated
promptly (e.g. by switching off the drive).
Installation and Operating Manual / Version 11 / 3626-011000

The BTM can be used as temperature measuring device. This way, not only the
temporarily permissible peak temperature can be monitored, but also the nominal
operation.

1 Field of Application
The list below contains the requirements to be fulfilled by operating fluids and a
selection of types proposed for hydrodynamic couplings.

Turbo coupling with constant fill (T…)

Fill-controlled turbo coupling (TP…)
Variable speed turbo coupling (S…)

Any other fluids require Voith's prior approval.

For all materials getting in contact with the operating fluid, the manufacturer's
approval is required.

In individual cases, special requirements can rule out a selection according to this list;
in this case, the deviating specifications will be agreed upon order handling or they will
be specified in the operating manual.

Density / filling and heat capacity of fluids which may deviate from those of mineral oil
need to be considered when designing the coupling.

Application instructions specified by the producers that are normally stated in the
product and safety data sheets are to be observed.

Criteria and Information for Evaluation of used Oils

8 Criteria and Information for Evaluation

of used Oils
8.1 General

Mineral oils change with advanced operating time under the influence of atmospheric
oxygen, temperature and impurities with catalytic effect. Additives applied are used
up. This finally results in the fact that the mineral oil does no longer meet the
requirements. Information enabling such an evaluation is based, above all, on the
comparison of results of used oil analysis with the relevant data of the fresh oil.
Considering the variety of the oils, it is not advisable to define fixed limit values for
individual characteristics. Only the interpretation of all combined characteristic values
can provide a verifying statement as to the fitness for continued use of the operating
fluid.

Notice
i
The decision regarding the suitability of the operating oil for continued use thus
remains reserved to the respective oil producer / oil supplier.

8.2 Sampling

Used oils should be checked for continued usability (trend analysis) in regular intervals
(see instruction manual). Correct and careful sampling is of utmost importance for the
informative value of analysis results. Preferably, samples should be taken during
operation or immediately upon standstill of the unit from an area with oil in motion. It is
important here to observe that a certain flow quantity is drained before filling the
sample container.

Notice
i
en / Protection class 0: Offen (public) / 2017-09-25 / uncontrolled copy

The sample quantity depends on the scope of inspection.

For a standard scope as per Chapter 8.3 a sample quantity of 0.5 liters is required.
Directive D-503.0 / Version 0 / ID No.: 91601312610

17 / 20
 Operating Fluids for Voith Turbo Couplings
Criteria and Information for Evaluation of used Oils

8.3 Scope of analysis

The scope of the analysis depends on the condition of the unit and possible problems.
The following scope may be selected for a standard analysis to evaluate the condition
of the oil and the unit:

• Additives:
Calcium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorous, barium, boron

• Contaminants:
Silicone, potassium, sodium, water as per Karl Fischer in ppm (or %)

• Condition of oil:
Viscosity at 40° and 100°C, viscosity index, oxidation,
appearance, neutralization number

• Wearing metals:
Iron, chromium, tin, aluminum, nickel, copper, lead, molypdenum, PQ index

• Particle counting as per ISO 4406 / SAE 4059

• Air release property (LAV) as per DIN ISO 9120 I ASTM D 3427

8.4 Criteria / information for the evaluation of used oils

The following list contains aspects to be considered and rough standard limits for
evaluating the suitability of operating oils for continued use from Voith Turbo's point of
view. These data can only be considered as reference values as they depend on the
different operating conditions and also on the composition and type of oil.

8.4.1 Additives

Increasing aging of the oil may reduce the value of the failure load stage.
Apart from visual inspections of the components (see instruction manual), the oil
en / Protection class 0: Offen (public) / 2017-09-25 / uncontrolled copy

producer/supplier should issue a statement about the residual content of additives by

using the infrared spectrum. A residual content of EP additives of more than 30%
normally guarantees that the reduction of the FZG load stage is not more than one
Directive D-503.0 / Version 0 / ID No.: 91601312610

stage. A lower residual content of EP additives indicates that the oil needs to be
changed.

 Operating Fluids for Voith Turbo Couplings
Criteria and Information for Evaluation of used Oils

8.4.2 Oil condition

A visual / sensory test (severe blackening, settling of residues (formation of sludge)

and precipitation and / or sharp or burning smell) and the results of the oil analysis
indicate that the oil needs to be changed.

A change in viscosity of > ± 10 % compared to the fresh oil is also an indication for a
necessary oil change.

Notice
i
It is necessary to find the cause for the change in viscosity!

8.4.3 Neutralization number NZ (DIN 51558)

The increase of the neutralization number is not a general criterion for the aging of oil.

However, it is recommended changing the oil at the following increase of the

neutralization number compared to the one of fresh oil:

• for turbine oils: 0.5 - 1.0 mg KOH / g

• for HLP oils: 1.0 - 1.5 mg KOH / g

• for CLP oils: 1.5 - 2.0 mg KOH / g

Criteria and Information for Evaluation of used Oils

8.4.4 Water content (DIN ISO 3733)

If the water content exceeds 0.05 weight-percent (500 ppm), measures to remove the
water have to be taken.
Procedure: Centrifuging, filtering using a coalescer (multi-phase separator), vacuum
treatment, settling (by letting the oil rest for 1 to 2 days) and draining through a drain
cock or by heating up.
At a water content of ≥ 0.2 weight-% (already visible as cloudiness of the oil) the oil
needs to be changed.

Oils with verified water release property are capable of emulsifying up to approx.
0.2 % water without any negative effect on the function.

Notice
i
Find the cause for water content!

8.4.5 Air release property LAV (DIN ISO 9120)

Air release property of new oil ≤ 5 minutes (0.2 % at 50 °C).

It is necessary to change the oil in case of pressure and speed variations, if other
causes, as e.g. too low oil level, can be excluded.
We recommend determining the air release property value.
