Manual Hydraulic Hand Pump WB-8V Valve Remote Control System (VRCS)
Manual Hydraulic Hand Pump WB-8V Valve Remote Control System (VRCS)
The WB-8V Manual Hydraulic Hand Pump is a critical component of a Marine Valve Remote Control System (VRCS).
It is designed for manual remote operation of shipboard valves, especially in ballast water tanks, fuel tanks, and other inaccessible compartments.
This unit provides emergency and backup hydraulic control, ensuring safe valve operation even during power failure or automation system malfunction.
Identification Details
• Model Number: WB-8V
• System Type: Manual Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Unit
• Location Tag: NO.3 W.B. TK (S)
• NO.3 = Number 3
• W.B. TK = Water Ballast Tank
• (S) = Starboard Side
Summary:
This unit controls the valve of No.3 Water Ballast Tank – Starboard Side.
Functional Description
Markings:
• OPEN – Turn handle in this direction to open valve
• SHUT – Turn handle in this direction to close valve
• HAND PUMP – Manual hydraulic actuator
How It Works
Hydraulic Pressure Generation
The base contains:
• Hydraulic oil reservoir
• Manual piston mechanism
Manual Operation
By rotating the red handle:
• Hydraulic fluid is pumped through small bore tubing
• Fluid travels to a remote hydraulic valve actuator
Valve Control
• Turning toward OPEN sends pressure to open the valve
• Turning toward SHUT releases or redirects pressure to close the valve
This ensures controlled opening and closing of marine tank valves.
