3 Design and Operation
3.1 Design

3 Design and Operation 3.1 Design
Housing
The VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is designed with a split in horizontal
direction on the shaft center level. This housing forms the oil tank at the same time.
Coupling
The coupling consists of
• primary shaft and primary wheel,
• secondary shaft and secondary wheel,
• shell (flanged on primary wheel, enclosing the secondary wheel) and
• Scoop tube housing with actuator.
Primary shaft and primary wheel are rigidly connected with each other, the same
applies to secondary wheel and secondary shaft. The primary shaft is connected
with the driving machine and the secondary shaft with the driven machine.
Primary wheel, secondary wheel and shell form the working chamber. The working
oil circulates in the working chamber.
The scoop tube, with scoop tube housing, is integrated in the VARIABLE SPEED
TURBO COUPLING housing. The secondary shaft is supported in the scoop tube
housing.
Bearings
The primary and secondary shaft of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING are
supported by ball and roller bearings. The primary shaft is guided axially via a rela-
tive bearing (between primary and secondary shaft)
Oil pumps
A filling pump in the oil tank delivers the operating oil for the working oil and lube oil
lube circuit. The filling pump is mechanically driven by the primary shaft of VARI-
ABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING .
An electrically driven aux.lube oil pump is installed to supply lube oil to external
units during start up and shut down (Aux. lube oil pump is optional and not a stan-
dard supply. Supplied only on order).
10
3 Design and Operation 3.2 Power transmission
The VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING transmits power wearfree from a driv-
ing machine to a driven machine. Power is transmitted as follows:
Mechanical energy-
kinetic energy
The power of driving machine is transmitted through the primary wheel (function:
pump) onto the working oil; the working oil is accelerated in the primary wheel, and
the mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy. The secondary wheel
(function: turbine) absorbs the kinetic energy and converts it back into mechanical
energy. This energy is transmitted to the driven machine.
Fusible plugs
If the oil temperature rises to 160º C (320º F) due to a failure, the solder of fusible
plugs in the coupling melts and oil is thrown into the housing of VARIABLE SPEED
TURBO COUPLING. The coupling drains the oil, thus reducing torque transmis-
sion.

1.Actuator
2.Scoop tube rods
3.Scoop tube
4.Oil ring
5.Sc.tube position-0%
6.Sc. tube position-100%
The speed of driven machine may be controlled steplessly. For this purpose, the
coupling oil filling is changed during operation by means of the movable scoop
tube:
• Scoop tube inserted as far as possible in the scoop chamber of coupling (0%
position): minimum oil ring, minimum output speed.
• Scoop tube moved as far as possible out of the scoop chamber of coupling
(100% position): maximum oil ring, maximum output speed.

3 Design and Operation 3.4 Lubrication
3.4 Lubrication
3.4.1 Self-lubrication
Bearings and gears of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING need to be lubri-
cated prior to and during operation.
• Heat exchanger,
• Double oil filter and
• Lube oil orifice
the filtered and cooled oil gets to the lubrication points.
Only an indirect influence of lube oil flow rate is possible by changing the lube oil
pressure.
Lube oil pressure
The lube oil pressure is set at the lube oil orifice and monitored by pressure mea-
suring instruments (pressure gauge, pressure switch).
Lube oil temperature
The lube oil temperature is monitored by temperature measuring instruments.
The oil for lubrication of driving machine and driven machine is taken from the lube
oil circuit of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING through the external oil orifice
and fed back into the oil tank of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING.
Lube oil pressure,
lube oil flow rate
Lube oil pressure and lube oil flow rate are set by the external oil orifice down-
stream of the double oil filter and set by the working oil orifice plate.
Note!
i Lube oil flow rate and lube oil pressure for the supply of external units will be indi-
cated in the order confirmation.
If the supply of external oil to external units becomes necessary only subsequently,
please consult the Voith after-sales-service.

Corrosion protection
in India
On shipment, the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is internally wetted with
oil (either by test oil during the test run or by spraying it with a solvent -free corro-
sion preventing oil). This wetting with oil is a sufficient corrosion protection in
India for a period of 24 months. A condition is that the machine is stored in dry
room.
Corrosion protection
overseas
For overseas shipments, the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is packed in
an extra foil. Desiccant bags in the packing bind some of the humidity. Machines
packed using this method can also be stored for 24 months in a closed and dry
room. The foil must not be cut or damaged.

Unimpeded working
Mount the acoustic cover so that the following work can be performed without
obstruction: 1
Danger!
Heat may accumulate when using acoustic covers without ports. When com-
pressors are encapsulated gas leakages may cause intoxication, suffocation
and explosions.
Always provide acoustic covers with vent holes to dissipate the heat and to
exchange the air.
• Provide separate ventilation for electric motors. The cooling air of an air-cooled
electric motor may be used for ventilation, if necessary (consider the characteris-
tic curve of motor fan and the required motor cooling).
• Regulate the air circuit in the cover to ensure heat dissipation (determine the
throughput for a cooling air temperature increase of 10ºC (50º F)).
• Lead the ventilation of gear housing and coverings (closed connecting coupling
covers) through pipes via the acoustic covers.
• Provide openings and sealrings for shaft passages, window to observe the instru-
ments, pipe and cable ducts and vents.

5 Assembly 5.10 Fitting a scoop tube actuator
Before fitting a scoop tube actuator, check the scoop tube position. The scoop tube
side where the word 'OBEN" engraved must point upwards.
Mount the scoop tube actuator so that the scoop tube can be mounted in any posi-
tion. Secure against distortion (use cardan joints, not ball joints).
i
Note!
Take actions to limit the scoop tube stroke at the actuator and not at the scoop
tube!
Connect the scoop tube and the scoop tube actuator so that neither play nor vibra-
tion occurs. Small scoop tube irregularities (e.g. due to oil pressure variations) will
then have no adverse effect.

7 Operation 7.3 Machine operation
With warm operating oil and scoop tube position at 0%, the oil level must not
exceed the max. mark L1 or must not fall below the min. oil level mark L2 at 100%
scoop tube position.
The oil level is reduced between 0% and 100% scoop tube position since the cou-
pling runner fills with oil. Even when switching of the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO
COUPLING at 0% scoop tube position, part of the operating oil remains in the cou-
pling runner.
An exact oil level check is possible only when the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO
COUPLING is running and at 0% scoop tube position.
The actuator positions the scoop tube between 0% and 100%. The scoop tube
position is determined by the speed of driven machine.

Double oil filter ter at
The double oil filter cleans the lube oil. It has two filtering jugs of which only one is
always supplied with oil during operation. The filter is provided with a differential
pressure indicator and/or a differential pressure switch initiating an alarm, in case of
a too high difference between lube oil pressure upstream and downstream of the fil-
ter. In case of alarm, the filtering jug in operation does no longer provide enough oil
and needs to be cleaned ()section 8.2 " Cleaning the double oil filter" on page
58).
i
Note!
Therefore, check the condition of the double oil filter during commissioning and
clean (even several times), if necessary.

Tailspin
Tailspin means the slow rotation of coupling by the driven machine when the unit is
switched off, e.g. in case of fan drives.
When the drive motor is switched off, the bearings of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO
COUPLING are no longer lubricated. Dependent on the speed and duration of tail-
spin, the bearings run dry and may be damaged.
Counteractions
• Switch on the main motor for approx.2 minutes or
• switch on the auxiliary lube oil pump, if available, to provide the bearings with oil.
Warning!
Reverse rotation is not allowed with the installed gear pump provided with
plain bearings.
53
7 Operation 7.5 Measures to be taken during stop periods
• Switch on the auxiliary lube oil pump daily for at least five minutes
• Protect the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING against ingress of water and
humidity. Preserve bright parts accordingly.
• Start the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING every 1 to 2 months for a short
time. Do not run it warm (risk of condensation water).
The machine inside is wetted with oil and thus protected against corrosion.

If a VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is running frequently, but always only
for a short time the warming up and cooling down process forms condensation
water which no longer evaporates .To prevent that the total oil filing needs to be
centrifuged:
• Mineral oil (water is heavier than mineral oil and deposit at bottom): Let the cou-
pling rest for 1 to 2 days. Drain the condensation water out of the oil drain valve
provided at the housing bottom.
• Synthetic fluids with a density of > 1.0 (water floats on top): remove the conden-
sation water by suction.
• Have the oil checked for impurities by the oil supplier or a competent laboratory.

The filling pump is located on the input side of the variable speed turbo coupling
below the primary shaft and can be dismantled after unscrewing the holding down
bolts.
Remove the pump cover and the assembly cover on the left of the input shaft. For
unscrewing the screw(701/090), the input shaft must be held. Turn out the screw by
10mm then loosen the gear from the centering by careful meats on the screw head.
Now, hold the gear by hand, disassemble it from the shaft and remove it via the
assembly hole.
In case of damages on the filling pump drive tooth, replace the two gear wheels.
For this, remove the complete coupling rotating parts from the housing.

This list covers the operating fluid requirements and gives a selection of the recommended fluids for
standard types with hydrodynamic circuits without gear stage. This list may not be applicable in
individual cases involving special requiremens. In such cases, the appropriate specifications will be
agreed when handling the order or be stated in the instruction manual.
For constant speed turbo couplings type "T" and Voith geard variable speed turbo couplings type "R" as
well as for other products, appropriate separate specifications must be referred to.
The characteristics for turbo couplings with oil circulation or variable speed turbo couplings "S", turbo
coupling with pumped oil supply "TP" and "DTP" and hydrodynamic brakes "VIR" in accordance with
the requisition sheet No: 740080077, which is available to the oil companies, must be met. The most
important data are detailed below:
Viscosity restrictions or differing viscosity range at extreme operating temperatures (to be particularly
specified)
Under consideration of the requirements (section 2 and sheet No:740080077), the following types may be
used.
It must be monitored that there is sufficient air release property (behaviour of the pump pressures and
control stability).
Any unsatisfactory operating results lead to the omission of any associated claims under warranty.
Change the oil in case of fluctuation of pressure and speed variation. Also deterine the LAV value, if
necessary.
The value of the damage power stage reduces with increasing aging of oil.
The extreme pressure (E.P.) additives decompose due to high temperature ( > 1300 C)
Visual check of tooth flanks. Possibly determine the still existing damage power stage.
The more frequently the coupling heats up and cools down, the more condensation water is produced. In
order not to centrifuge the total oil filling, the coupling should be out of operation for 1-2 days and then the
condensation water should be drained by means of the drain cock at the bottom. Since the water is
heavier than the mineral oil, it settles at the bottom.
In case of synthetic fluids with a density>1.0, the water floats on top and can be drawn off.

SWITZER – MID-WEST Differential Pressure Instrument works on the difference Reed Reed
between two pressure (rP) acting on opposite side of a pressure sensor (piston). Switch Switch
Variation in pressure difference will cause the pressure sensor and linear magnet
to move in proportion to this change. A rotary pointer magnet, located in a
separate body cavity follows the linear movement of the pressure sensor magnet
and indicates the differential pressure on the gauge scale.
