Autobalance System Developed For Legacy Slow-Speed Integral Engines

摘要

After completing developmental work on the 10V-250 engine. WGP and Windrock have since installed the autobalance system on a Clark HBA-8T engine. With the exception of the physical size of the balancing valve and valve trim selection, it was basically a plug and play installation. Even with the combustion differences between the two engine types, the balancing algorithms are working effectively on this engine, which is known to be difficult to balance using traditional manual methods.
