INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSE
Learn to:
Use complex schematics as a troubleshooting tool
Verify correct functioning of intake and spillway gate hydraulic circuits
Observe pumps and accumulators for subtle changes in performance
Develop a reliability based approach to system maintenance
Prepare a methodical troubleshooting "battle plan" in advance
This customized course illuminates the hydraulic systems that control hydro station, power intake gates, and also the spillway gates in use at hydro dams. The functions of your specific systems are brought to life on-screen and on the student laptops that we bring to the course. We prepare for this on-site program by producing Live Schematics of your exact hydraulic system, so that students will be able to explore all functional modes with the symbols animated, the motion flow paths with live flow arrows, and pressures with a range of colors. Our tried and true learning tools, and our constantly evolving teaching methods enable the station technicians to properly plan system tests, carry out thoughtful maintenance routines and detect system failure modes
The various gates in use at dams and generating stations are only cycled or operated occasionally, yet must not sag (drift), and must offer the highest levels of reliability. They also need to fail-safe if the hydraulic pumps fail. Our courses taught on-site can include hands-on time on your own components and equipment, as well as multiple practical exercises on pilot-operated hydraulic valves, accumulators, pumps, regenerative cylinder circuits, using our live hydraulics training panels that arrive on-site in our trailer.
Hydraulic Pumps
Objective: Distinguish between gear, vane and piston pumps as used on gate systems
Activities: Conduct volumetric tests to trend pump wear issues
Directional Control Valves
Objective: Explain solenoid and pilot operated valve functions
Activities: Diagnose common directional valve problems
Pilot Operated Check Valves
Objective: Describe the function of pilot operated check valves
Activities: Test for a damage check valve seat
Pressure Control Valves
Objective: Differentiate between relief, pressure reducing and counterbalance valves
Activities: Correctly adjust and diagnose pressure valves
Flow Control Valves
Objective: Distinguish between basic and pressure compensated flow controls
Activities: Diagnose and test for a stuck pressure compensator spool
Hydraulic Cylinders
Objective: List procedures to diagnose common problems in cylinders and motors
Activities: Work with an internal cylinder leakage simulation and with our cylinder bypass panel
Accumulator Banks
Objective: Describe characteristics of a properly functioning accumulator bank
Activities: Precharge an accumulator using correct, safe procedures
