Eaton Is There

Oceangoing voyages require peak-performing hydraulic components. Count on Eaton for reliable, long-lasting pumps and motors that are backed by the toughest testing standards in the industry.

But component supply is only the beginning of our marine industry support. At Eaton, reacting fast to specific needs and solutions is a fundamental part of our customer responsibility. Whether you need assistance starting up a motor, a modification to a standard product, or help troubleshooting equipment failures, Eaton is there.

We are committed to fast response that will get your vessel up and running—and keep it running.

Challenge

MAN Diesel & Turbo of Copenhagen, Denmark, needed high-performing pumps for 2,300-ton Intelligent Engines that would propel oceangoing vessels. By providing continuously variable fuel injection and valve timing via the pumps, the “camshaftless” engines would offer unlimited flexibility, enabling them to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Therefore, the pumps needed to provide non-stop 30,000-hour performance.

Solution

Eaton’s Hydrokraft piston pumps with 500 ccm/rev displacement and 350-bar (5,076-psi) maximum operating pressure met the service life requirements, while at 300-bar (4,351-psi) continuous pressure for most of the duration. Eaton worked with the University of Dresden to design a custom valve plate that enabled the pumps to run clockwise and counterclockwise without risk of cavitation.

Results

The pumps operate in two quadrants with increased efficiency in an open circuit. In the event that the engine’s direction of rotation and the controller demand signal are not synchronized, an additional custom check-valve block creates a shortcut between the pump inlet and outlet, helping to prevent failure and damage to the hydraulic system.

The XT line of IEC motor control is not the same as traditional motor control designs. XT was designed to be engineered better.

Medium-Voltage Circuit Breakers Eaton's VCP-T drawout and fixed-type medium-voltage circuit breakers are spring actuated and feature short circuit breaking current ratings up to 25 kA and continuous current ratings up to 2000A. Smaller and lighter than comparable breakers and designed for use where space is limited, the VCP-T breaker family is small without compromise.

Marine-Rated Circuit BreakersProviding circuit protection for global applications, Eaton Series G molded case circuit breakers feature advancements in arc interruption that allow high performance in smaller sizes. One-third less space is needed for frames up through 630 amperes. Common internal threads reduce accessory inventory. Electronic trip units and ground fault modules reduce the risk of equipment failure.
