Parker launches portable icountBSplus for efficient and accurate hydraulic oil contamination detection
Parker Hannifin has introduced the compact, icountBSplus, a fully contained, portable bottle sampling system that uses laser particle counting technology to ensure the fast and accurate detection of contamination in hydraulic oils and hydrocarbon fuels. A key component of the fluid-particle analysis and monitoring portfolio, the icountBSplus helps improve the reliability, productivity, and profitability of…
New Solutions to Gearbox Longevity
Wind turbine gearbox failures have plagued the wind industry for many years and only now do their designers think they know why the gearboxes only survive three to seven years before a replacement. Research has been focusing on oil contamination and sudden torque reversals as solutions. In this webinar, experts from Parker Hannifin and PT…
Cooling electronics in a hot nacelle
It’s no secret that wind-turbine capacity, particularly for offshore turbines, continues to grow each year with 6 to 10 MW on the horizon. Even with efficiency improvements, key power generation subsystems —including generators, power-conversion electronics and transformers—are challenged to manage ever increasing heat within limited nacelle space. In addition, even if incurred power losses are…
Leak-free hydraulic fittings prevent vibration failures
Anthony Palanci Product Sales Manager Tube Fittings Division Parker Hannifin Corporation Cleveland, Ohio parker.com/TFD The cost of scheduled maintenance for wind turbines has been relatively low. However, unscheduled maintenance is a completely different story. Until recently the turbine manufacturer’s warranty has covered unscheduled maintenance and repair costs. But that’s changing as a large number of…
