IEEE Qualified for Valve and Damper Applications Electro-Hydraulic Actuators
Electro-Hydraulic Actuators Enertech, formerly Paul-Munroe Hydraulics, is a business unit of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company. Since 1967, Enertech has specialized in the supply of hydraulic equipment to the commercial nuclear power industry. In 1978, we recognized the need for a compact, fast acting hydraulic actuator to meet the demanding requirements of safe plant shut down and post accident cycling for valve and damper applications, both inside and outside containment. For over 30 years, Enertech has supplied valve and damper actuators that are qualified to stringent IEEE Standards for harsh environment conditions. Design Enertech s second generation electro-hydraulic operator (EHO) is fully self-contained for linear and rotary applications. The integral gas accumulator provides motive force for fail safe positioning upon loss of the electric command signal. The electric motor and hydraulic pump are IEEE qualified for post design basis event cycling following restoration of Class 1 power. Enertech s advanced EHO technology is ideally suited for large gate valves such as main steam isolation valves where high thrust, fast closing time of five seconds and sustained isolation force are mandatory. They are also designed for small torque outputs, such as damper actuators found on control room ventilation and other critical HVAC applications. In addition, Enertech s modulating EHO is industry proven in severe service control valve throttling applications including, PWR main steam atmospheric relief and main feedwater regulation. EHO on an Atmospheric Steam Dump Valve EHOs may be specified with one common hydraulic power unit containing an electric motor, pump and reservoir for fail safe control of up to four valves or dampers. Remote, skid mounted accumulators are offered for additional post accident cycling from stored energy without Class 1 power. Replacement for Legacy Electro-Hydraulic Actuators Enertech provides EHOs that are form, fit and function replacements for obsolete units found in many Generation II nuclear plants. Enertech s gas over oil design eliminates complex air pilot control sub loops found in competitors older electro-hydraulic actuator designs. Commercially available sub-components assure uninterrupted aftermarket support for the life of your plant. Environmental Qualification and Quality Assurance Enertech EHOs are used in nuclear safety and non-safety related applications around the world. Enertech EHOs have been successfully tested and qualified to IEEE 382, Case IV for inside containment design basis radiation, pressure, and temperature for safe plant shut down use. Seismic, vibration, and chemical spray conditions have also been successfully met in accordance with IEEE 344 and 323 Standards. All EHOs are manufactured under Enertech s Quality Assurance Program which complies with 10CFR50 Appendix B and NQA-1. Other nuclear quality standards for non- ASME governed plants may be specified.
