Vetus HT1030 - Automatic Speed Control 12V

The Vetus Automatic Speed Control 12V, represented by the HT1030 model, is an essential component for hydraulic installations on board ships. Designed for compatibility with Hydraulic Reservoir Tank Type - HYDRAULIC TANKS, this control unit plays a crucial role in managing hydraulic oil. The expansion tank acts as a buffer for hydraulic fluid, offering both storage and the option for oil cooling if required.

VETUS delivers the hydraulic tank pre-equipped with all necessary control and regulation units, conveniently assembled and ready for operation. Additional control units can be easily retrofitted and mounted onto the tank cover, which serves as a practical mounting plate. The connections are clearly marked, and the suction line is strategically positioned to end directly in the pump for optimal performance.

The aluminum hydraulic tanks HT1010 and HT1028 contribute to hydraulic fluid cooling, with cooling dependent on machine room temperature and environmental factors. While the tank cover provides space for mounting control units, Vetus recommends installing a seawater-cooled hydraulic liquid cooler in every system for consistent cooling capacity. Monitoring the temperature is crucial, and retrofitting a cooler may be necessary if no oil cooler is initially installed for cost reasons.

The tank design facilitates mounting on bulkheads or partitions, but this task should be carried out by OEM or specialist companies for precision. Valves are conveniently mounted on the tank lid for simplicity, and ample space must be planned for the tank and associated accessories.
