VESCONITE HYDRO

Vesconite is a high-performance engineering plastic that is widely used in the hydro industry for various applications, such as turbines, generators, pumps, valves, etc.

Vesconite can withstand high pressures, flows, and temperatures and provide efficient and reliable operation.

Some of the benefits of using Vesconite in hydro are:

  • Vesconite has a high pressure resistance and can operate in pressures up to 100 MPa.

  • Vesconite has a low friction coefficient and can reduce energy losses and cavitation.
  • Vesconite has a high temperature resistance and can operate in temperatures up to 100°C.
  • Vesconite has a good chemical resistance and can resist water, acids, alkalis, salts, etc.
  • Vesconite has a low water absorption and can prevent swelling and cracking.

Some of the applications of Vesconite in hydro are:

  • Vesconite bushings and bearings for turbines and generators, such as Francis turbines, Kaplan turbines, Pelton turbines, etc.

  • Vesconite wear rings and impellers for pumps, such as centrifugal pumps, diaphragm pumps, gear pumps, etc.
  •  Vesconite valves and seats for valves, such as butterfly valves, ball valves, gate valves, etc.
  • Vesconite shafts and couplings for transmission systems, such as shafts, couplings, gears, etc.

COMMON HYDRO APPLICATIONS

KEY FEATURES

  • Vesconite Hilube can run dry and does not require external lubrication, preventing water contamination.
  • Water is a natural lubricant for Vesconite Hilube, which does not swell in water, has a low friction coefficient, and ensures long life and little downtime.
  • Vesconite Hilube’s unique properties reduce the risk of seizure and allow for close tolerances during operation.

MATERIAL COMPARISON

Traditional bushings require costly maintenance downtime time on pump turbines.

Metal or rubber bushes can degrade quickly in dirty and abrasive environments
e.g trash rake pivot points.

The low friction of Vesconite Hilube avoids stick slip on pressure relief valve guides.

Wicket gate bushing lubrication is often difficult due to the micro-oscillating movements associated with this application.
Vesconite Hilube’s self-lubricating properties avoids this entirely.
