3520 Series Hydraulic Power Unit
Benefits
Low Noise Levels: Acoustic attenuation system providing noise levels of 58 - 63 dB (A)*.
Low Operating and Power Costs:
The pressure-compensated variable flow pump configuration ensures operating costs are maintained with test flow demand. Combined with high-efficiency Class 1 motors, power costs are kept to an absolute minimum.
*dB (A) is a measurement of the sound pressure level (units Decibel, dB), weighted to suit the normal frequency response of the human ear. It is expressed in free field (open) conditions, and therefore readings may vary within the installed environment.
Features
Instron 3520 Series Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) contain a combination of standard features that are not available on other commercial units.
Fully Adjustable Pressure Supply
Clean Oil
Wide Ranges of Flow Rates
Longer Oil Change IntervalsProgrammable Logic Controller
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), fitted to every model, provides optimum system control and Hydraulic Power Unit status feedback, as well as a broad range of system interlocks (including oil level, oil temperature, filter condition, and motor temperature).
All 3520 Series Hydraulic Power Units feature a full integrated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with a conveniently positioned operator interface panel. The PLC provides powerful control features in combination with the advanced circuitry of the HPUs, including:

Alphanumeric Indicators
Alphanumeric indication of Hydraulic Power Unit status, operating pressure and oil temperature.Automatic Local/Remote Facility
Control reverts to local operation when the 8800 is disconnected.Extended Service Functions
Extended Service Functions included flushing and off-line cooling modes.Adjustable Temperature and Pressure Limits
Adjust temperature and pressure limits to suit your local conditions.
Low Environmental Impact Features
Minimal Electricity Consumption
The Class 1 high-efficiency motors operate at 92 - 95% efficiency (typically), minimizing electricity consumption.
Clean Operation
Leak-free, face-sealed fittings guarantee clean operation.
Minimal Water Consumption
A water-oil plate heat exchanger coupled with a thermostatically controlled water flow valve results in minimal water consumption.
Low Environmental Impact Service
With major serviceable components outside the oil reservoir, there is almost no risk of spillage or need for cleaning when exchanging key components. This also reduces service time and cost.
Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) Additional Options
Each 3520 Series Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) can be factory-fitted with a number of options to meet specific site conditions.
With noise levels as low as 58-63 dB (A)*, depending upon the model selected, combined with an internationally supported leak-free guarantee, Instron advanced noise reduction technology often eliminates the need for a specially-built pump room, providing greater flexibility when locating the Hydraulic Power Unit. The acoustic attenuation system achieves exceptionally low noise specifications while providing ease of maintenance.

Acoustic Attenuation System
Designed with the laboratory environment in mind, the 3520 Series HPUs can be positioned close to the testing machine. Through careful selection of components and materials, Instron is able to provide an optional acoustic attenuation package.With noise levels as low as 58-63 dB (A)*, depending upon the model selected, combined with an internationally supported leak-free guarantee, Instron advanced noise reduction technology often eliminates the need for a specially-built pump room, providing greater flexibility when locating the Hydraulic Power Unit.

Air-Cooling
Remote air-blast cooling units are available for installations where water cooling is not desirable. The cooling units are designed for ambient air temperatures of up to +37° C (+99° F) and are compatible with all 3520 Series HPUs.Pressure Accumulators
Bladder-type pressure accumulators are available to smooth pump ripples and minimize ring main disturbance with rapidly changing system demands.*dB (A) is a measurement of the sound pressure level (units Decibel, dB), weighted to suit the normal frequency response of the human ear.
