效率低下的执行器在水冒险地点升级为旋转的智能电动致电
IQ3 actuators from Rotork have improved and modernised the flow control system at a white water centre in the north-east of England, UK.
The Tees Barrage International White Water Centre is an activity and sports site. Visitors can go white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, power boating and paddleboarding. It is part of the Tees Barrage Park visitor attraction situated on the River Tees at Stockton-on-Tees.
Tees Barrage于1995年开业，旨在通过维持上游河水层来开发和改善该地区和娱乐性TEES的娱乐使用。运河和河流信托基金会（Canal＆River Trust）对此进行了照顾，他们正在开展一个项目，以帮助提高现有控制系统的性能。
The penstocks on site feed the water course with river water, prevent seawater from entering the park at high tide (seawater is undesirable for white water users and will lead to equipment corrosion) and maintain water levels into the park to prevent it from flooding in extreme weather conditions. The old control system was hydraulically operated and was proving unreliable. It was provided by linear hydraulic cylinders and a single hydraulic power pack without torque protection, no data or condition monitoring and limited position feedback. This caused broken penstock spindles, oil leaks and needed unplanned maintenance intervention. The existing power cabling had insufficient capacity to supply five actuators and required updating to comply with the latest regulations.
客户选择升级到Rotork的旗舰智能电动执行器IQ3执行器。IQ3执行器具有高度的环境保护和防水保护。它们具有双密封的外壳（IP66/68），因此非常适合用水。IQ3执行器带来的许多好处给客户留下了深刻的印象，包括：通过集成数据记录仪，准确的位置和扭矩感应以及积分控制能力捕获历史性能数据的能力。IQ3执行器的总生活成本较低，其高度可靠性/可用性意味着任何操作中断的可能性降低。
The replacement system supplied by Rotork includes both a mechanical interface and electrical control system. IQ3 actuators with Modbus TCP (via a Mitsubishi PLC) and vandal proof covers, Rotork IB gearboxes, electrical/control cabling, pedestals, a replacement electrical distribution switch and an ethernet switch were all supplied to the site. One of the penstocks and its actuator is difficult to access, so Rotork Site Services supplied a Rotork Remote Hand Station for an operator to control the actuator while standing up to 100 metres away, with access to a duplicate screen.
IB带有IB变速箱的IQ3执行器（最大扭矩增加到7,604 nm）现在可以操作penstocks，以控制Tees Barrage International White Water Water Center（TBIWWC）内的水平，并确保在潮汐运动期间不淹没公共设施和地区。penstocks也是一个孤立的点，以使维护能够在白水中心内进行。在评估该站点后，旋转式工程师所显示的专业知识确保了广泛的产品和服务，这导致了提供的服务增加，包括电缆（检查，测试，拆卸和安装），Penstock维修以及设计/制造。/机械改编的安装。Amcogiffen提供了脚手架，安全性和现场项目管理。
