Middlesex County, Ontario | Old Pokey: I'm pretty sure your trying to power one or two air seeder fans right?
The conventional setup is powered by your tractor remotes. Nothing additional was needed to control airflow/ RPM because flow valves already existed at the tractor end. An engineer would think thats a nice simple solution and leave it at that, not add any additional plumbing.
Your case I assume your tractor or trucktor does not have oil capacity so you are looking to go another route. Have you considered powering the fan(s) directly (belt?) from your 24hp motor at max RPM/capacity? Then adding a "bleed valve" to bleed air pressure/flow from your system? Open the valve further to reduce flow. A lot less moving parts and cheaper parts. Not sure if it would work and you wouldn't have a nice chart to say "this many pounds is this many RPM to avoid plugging" but you could set it by feel. Could control valve from tractor with a simple linear actuator or similar. Just a thought, trying to be helpfull. |
AC Electric motor vs. hydraulic motor efficiency?
