Control unit TripCon

The trip block is an extremely flexible electro-hydraulic safety control unit, which is used for releasing the trip valves (quick trip) on steam turbines, gas turbines and in process engineering. The TripCon has a modular design and the components can be combined in a variety of ways. As a result, Voith provides a trip block with optional functions which offers the best fit for your application, both technically and economically. All variants of the trip block have a triple-redundant design with a 2oo3 selection (2 out of 3 voting). This means that turbine trips do not take place until at least two channels have been deactivated. An integrated 1oo1 partial stroke test enables a simple check of the function of the trip valve, even during operation. The partial stroke test is available with optional 2oo2 redundancy. An expansion module is also available, which allows the replacement of all solenoid valves during operation. The TripCon is certified with the SIL 3 Safety Integrity Level. The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for the Voith TripCon is over 100,000 years. When developing the TripCon, our engineers paid particular attention to large dis­charge volumes and a dirt-resistant design. This allows you to achieve quick and safe turbine shutoff.
