Powered by KnowledgeDesigned with the knowledge gained through years of experience in servohydraulicpower generation, the reliable MTS SilentFlo 515 Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)can help you increase uptime and improve overall lab efficiency for a lower totalcost of ownership.Energy ConservationWhole Lab ProductivityThe MTS SilentFlo 515 HPU deliverssignificant improvements in energyefficiency. With new power modules andcooling circuits, the MTS SilentFlo 515HPU is up to 8% more energy efficientthan previous models. The circulatingpump on each power module saves energyby requiring far less power to cool.Compatibility with existing SilentFloHPUs and new smart monitoringcapabilities increase overall labproductivity. A common interfacebetween legacy and new MTS SilentFloHPUs protects your current investment,enables seamless integration of all unitsand extends the operating life of the lab.Smart monitoring capabilities givegreater access to information about HPUfunctioning and provide the ability topre-empt disruptions and manageresources efficiently.Performance ReliabilityThese HPUs are easy to operate andmaintain with fewer parts, accessiblecontrols and the elimination of surgesuppressors and bypass circuits. Inaddition, many design features improveperformance such as the tuned tubesthat reduce outlet noise ripple and thenew pressure control that maintainspressure stability.3

The SilentFlo 515 Hydraulic Power Unitprovides extraordinary heat transfer efficiencyand cleanliness with per-module polishingfiltration. This filtration system minimizesenergy consumption related to system coolingfor the given running condition.

The SilentFlo 515 FamilyKnown for their unmatched quiet and clean operation, MTS SilentFlo hydraulicpower units (HPUs) help you power your test systems with superior flexibility andcost-efficiency. SilentFlo HPUs are specifically designed to handle the rigors of extreme,continuous-duty servohydraulic applications, and they perform reliably, year after year.F E AT UR ES»» Intuitive interface»» TÜV certified*»» Energy efficient»» Integrated cooling options»» Remote monitoring capability*The SilentFlo product family is certified byTÜV Rheinland, a Nationally RecognizedTesting Laboratory (NRTL). The “cTUVus mark”Designed for safetySilentFlo HPUs conserve valuableresources. Variable-displacement pistonpumps ensure maximum hydraulicefficiency, even during times of reducedflow demand. And an innovative watercooling system maintains the properhydraulic fluid operating temperature.These pumps also offer optionalwater-shutoff valves to minimizewater consumption.Automatic interlocks protect againstinadvertent damage due to hightemperatures or high/low fluid levels.For added protection, there are userselectable shutdown limit and alarms forboth temperature and fluid levels. Theinsulated enclosure keeps SilentFlo HPUscompletely cool to the touch on the outside,even after hours of operation. This designhelps prevent injury, while eliminatingthe need for costly ventilation systems.accredited test mark is proof of compliancewith U.S. National and Canadian Nationalstandards in accordance with OccupationalSafety and Health Administration (OSHA) andthe Standards Council of Canada (SCC).5Energy efficientRemote monitoring and controlThe SilentFlo 515 HPU comes equippedto integrate monitoring options for easieraccess to HPU control and informationabout HPU condition. MTS Echo HealthMonitoring options allow you to monitoryour HPU’s operational and health statusfrom your control room, office or mobiledevice. In addition, a Remote HumanMachine Interface (RHMI) lets you transfertethered control of a single HPU to anotherlocation of your choice, with identicalscreens, functionality and full E-stopcapability. Instead of leaving a test stationand walking to the pump room to monitoror change HPU settings, test engineerscan now perform such tasks from a farmore convenient location, improvingtheir productivity.Quiet, clean and compactDepending on the model, SilentFloHPUs run at 58 – 72 dB(A)—that’s upto 30 dB(A) quieter than conventionalHPUs—and are designed for extremelyclean operation. SilentFlo HPUs requireminimal floor space and are small enoughto fit through standard doorways. Withtheir quiet, clean and compact design,MTS SilentFlo HPUs can be placeddirectly on the test lab floor, eliminatingthe expenses associated with managing aseparate pump room and transportinghydraulic fluid across the test facility.Model 515.11/07Model 515.30/20Model 515.60Model 515.90Model 515.150/120Model 515.180

Fits Your Needs Today and TomorrowThe SilentFlo series supports a wide range of flow demands, with the largest HPUcapable of flow rates of up to 681 lpm (180 gpm). These HPUs provide powerfulperformance in a clean, sleek design that is a welcome addition to any lab.Ease of integrationCompletely scalable solutionThe MTS SilentFlo 515 HPU is compatiblewith any previous generation SilentFloHPU released in 1998 or later. Withminor upgrades to legacy MTS HPUs,the new SilentFlo 515 HPU can becommoned with existing power units.In addition, upgrades are available toimprove the performance of existingpower units.To accommodate your needs over the nextfew decades, MTS provides easy ways toincrease the flow capacity of your HPU.As your testing demands grow, you canadd an easy-to-install pump/motormodule to gain more capacity at afraction of the cost of adding anotherHPU. Your MTS representative can helpyou select a solution that meets yourneeds today and in the future.

Ease of Operation and Maintenance7Designed for serviceabilityThe new SilentFlo 515 HPUs are quietand easy to operate. The covers are lowerthan previous generations to enable easieraccess. The new molding technologyused to make the covers results in bettersound absorption and quieter operation,and the gas struts make it simple to raisethe cover.Easy to AccessThese incredibly lightweight covers canbe lifted with very little effort, yet can belocked down when the system is in use.Additionally, the side panels can be easilyremoved for quick access during repairsand upgrades.

Cooling ChoicesSystem cooling is an important consideration because it can place significant demandon facility services. MTS SilentFlo 515 HPUs feature a highly efficient cooling systemwith options for both air and water heat exchanging.Air-cooled515.180 Air-CooledThis energy-saving option is a goodalternative in moderate climates. TheMTS standard packages for air coolingare designed to be used in a shelteredoutside installation and require the site tosupply a separate three-phase power feed.All standard air cooling packages operateat temperatures from -7 to 40 C (20 to104 F), so temperature in and around thestructure needs to be within this range.The standard air coolers need to beplaced within nine meters (30 feet) ofthe hydraulic power unit.Water-cooled, site-supplied water515.180 Water-Cooled withSite-Supplied WaterThis option is one of the most commonways to cool your system. If you are usingcity or well water, you may want to includean optional positive shutoff valve that turnsoff the water when the HPU is not running.This water-saving valve will increase thepressure required to maintain flow ratesduring operation.Water-cooled, chillerMTS can help estimate the size chillernecessary to maintain a closed-loopcooling system for the SilentFlo HPUs inyour facility. The SilentFlo 515 HPU iscompatible with a wide variety of chillersystems types:»» Refrigeration»» Cooling tower – closed-loop»» Cooling tower – open-loop515.180 Water-Cooled with Chiller»» Cooling tower – open-loop indirect
