Applications Engine and Turbine Management

Generator Management

HEINZMANN's digital power management control THESEUS enhances the functionality of various HEINZMANN's digital governors for the control of generator sets in simple and advanced applications. THESEUS offers a seamless, integrated generator set control solution, which includes automatic sequencing, synchronizing, load management, voltage regulation and switchgear control. THESEUS further includes protection and monitoring functionality. Connectivity to foreign control systems and the option to communicate with supervisory systems through various CAN protocols or ModBus adds to its versatility.

Locomotives

HEINZMANN's PEGASOS locomotive control meets the specific requirements of the railroad market for both dieselhydraulic and diesel-electric drives. This speed and load control has galvanically isolated inputs and power supply to protect the internal control electronics from the adverse locomotive electrical environment. The combined speed/load control assures maximal traction efficiency with its variable excitation control. The HEINZMANN PEGASOS solution is available with conventional fuel injection as well as with Electric Fuel Injection (EFI) systems. A range of selectable speedsetting modes makes the PEGASOS eligible for many different engine control systems. PEGASOS offers the functional versatility for the upgrading of existing locomotive control systems.

Marine

POSEIDON is HEINZMANN's specific system's name for digital controls for marine operation. The core of the POSEIDON system is the PRIAMOS or HELENOS control. With HEINZMANN's software program DcDesk 2000 typical marine functionality can be selected such as load management of dual engine propeller drives, bridge and local control, engine protection, fuel/load limiting and shaft generator management. In order to meet the marine market requirements of reliability, HEINZMANN integrates redundant speed sensing and redundant power supply in one sovereign system. POSEIDON obviously meets the requirements of the major marine classification societies.

Gas Engine Air Fuel Ratio Controls

The KRONOS Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) control series ranges from entirely mechanical carburation equipment to a full authority AFR control system with integrated speed governing. KRONOS 20 is based on the venturi principle and has an electrically adjustable control valve, that is driven by an AFR control unit, which uses speed, manifold pressure and temperature information for the maintenance of the desired AFR value. KRONOS 30 combines the AFR and speed control function for gas engine applications, which require the quickest possible response to speed and AFR deviations. For this purpose the KRONOS 30 includes a gas mass metering block. In order to cope with a wide variety of gas qualities, the gas metering block design is very tolerant to wet bio gases and corrosive contaminants.

Dual Fuel Engines

Dual Fuel applications require liquid/gas fuel ratio, which has to be adjustable depending on speed, load and different engine, gas and operation specifications. HEINZMANN's ARTEMIS control system, that covers this kind of applications, provides the required ratio function and drives both the diesel and gas metering device in accordance with the mapped fuel requirements. All parameters can be configured and monitored by the software program DcDesk 2000. For diesel engine conversions to dual fuel, where the original diesel pump should be maintained, the ARTEMIS control drives both the existing governor / pump combination and the newly installed gas metering valve.

Turbines

With a wide choice of all-electric actuators, HEINZMANN meets today's turbine designs for a direct drive of their fuel/energy metering valves. This is a considerable cost saving because there is no further need for a mechanical drive nor for an intermediate such as hydraulic pressure. OLYMPUS is HEINZMANN's dedicated gas turbine control system, which covers both simple and complex turbine installations. Standard liquid and gas metering valves are integrated with our actuators for their reliable sealing and cleaning features. This reduces maintenance periods, downtime and replacement costs. Connectivity with supervisory systems is assured by different communication protocols. Both turbine manufacturers and turbine users take advantage of HEINZMANN's versatile control systems.

Industrial Vehicles

Whenever industrial engines are used in machines or special purpose vehicles, the speed governors are faced with a particularly wide range of requirements. HEINZMANN Speed Governors are designed to satisfy all these requirements in an outstanding way. Vehicles equipped with industrial engines, e.g., tractors, mobile cranes, etc., are used in different operating modes, such as on-road operation, driving during work or stationary operation. For each operating mode, the governor is expected to satisfy varying conditions with regard to governing mode, maximum torque, droop, setpoint ranges, and other functions. HEINZMANN control system are well proven in building machines, agricultural machines, special purpose vehicles and in mining vehicles.
