250-liter Ultra-long lifetime pressure compensators for heavy-duty 1.7 MW submersible electric motors
Our client Bakker Sliedrecht required subsea compensators capable of providing compensation for 1.7 MW submersible electric motors installed on a new hopper dredger.
Due to the harsh conditions in which these units will operate, the Ultralong lifetime compensator design was selected. Also, the application demanded a low pressure gradient, which had to be met within narrow tolerances. Detailed modelling, testing, and subsequent analysis showed that the compensator met all stringent pressure tolerances well within the prescribed 0.05 bar.
