Industrial solutions and case studies
Case study: Ultrasonic pipeline inspection
This manufacturer of inspection equipment was looking for ways of improving the integrity of pipeline surveys while reducing the associated downtime. Upgrades to the sensors, cameras and onboard processors, together with the use of higher torque drive motors to provide higher crawler speed, increased the onboard power required. Space and weight for the power supply upgrade was, however, limited. Key goals were:
Onboard the crawler the 24V battery supply was regulated down to 12V for the drive motors, sensors and processor by a DCM DC-DC converter. The small size of the DCM converter, which provided 320W in a package of just 38.7 x 22.8 x 7.2mm, freed up space for the additional sensors.
A DCM converter provided the isolation and regulation for motors and sensors. The rugged packaging and high efficiency (93%) of the DCM converter helped to reduce the operating temperature and improved the reliability of the power solution. To analyze this power chain go to the Vicor Whiteboard online tool.
