Byworth Boilers Stand D18 Hot Gossip on Boiler savings

ByworthBoiler engineers and technical specialists will be available on the Byworth stand to help maintenance and plant engineers across all industries as they address the ever increasing fuel cost of running steam and hot water boilers.

As boiler systems and applications are individual, it is important to gather as much technical information about efficiency improvements as possible.

With this in mind, Byworth engineers will be ready to discuss: the latest technical developments in steam and hot water boilers, waste heat utilisation, fuel saving and efficiency.

 

Special Dryers For Special Applications

Everdry FRPThe Everdry product series from the compressed-air specialist Beko Technologies offers standard and bespoke solutions with numerous concepts and possibilities. The basis of the range is different standardised portfolios of heat-regenerated adsorption dryers.

Starting with the Everdry FRA in different sizes for volume flows of 600 to 20,000 m3/h. As a

Determining Accurate Alignment Targets

Laser AlignmentA practical example involves a recent project at a wastewater treatment plant in Cleveland that needed realistic cold alignment targets for a 3600 rpm compressor.

This machine had a long history of coupling and bearing failures. Over a two-year period several attempts were made to calculate the thermal growth on the motor and compressor supports. The original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) technical manual gave a vertical thermal offset value of +0.04 in. (+40 mils). There were no recommendations for a target vertical angularity. Horizontal alignment changes were not mentioned.

There was some confusion with the OEM targets as provided. Maintenance personnel did not know if this value represented what the rim dial indicator should read when the cold alignment was completed (with a dial indicator mounted on the stationary shaft and indicating the motor coupling). Dial indicators indicate the total indicated runout (TIR) each time the shaft is rotated 180 deg. Half of the TIR represents the actual centerline offset; therefore the target should actually be +20 mils vertical offset.

Ingersoll Rand air system guidance-Intelligent Survey Audit

compressed Air AuditIn the medical community, prescription without diagnosis is known as malpractice. In compressed air, a solution without problem definition is guessing. Everyday, facilities personnel commit compressor malpractice by responding to a symptom instead of
discovering the real problem. A symptom may be low air pressure,which is certainly a problem to production, but the root cause of the low air pressure could be any number of reasons.

Keeping track of expensive technical gases

The Efector Metris When sensor market leader ifm electronic launched the efector metris a year or so back it caused quite a storm as the first affordable device to monitor consumption or leakage of that major commodity, compressed air.

Many of you use other gases, though, and we were often asked

Predictive maintenance spread out

vibration monitor detects rolling element bearing failures Cost-effective predictive maintenance vibration monitor detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft imbalance conditions in four locations simultaneously.

The innovative efector octavis bearing condition monitor from sensor market leader ifm electronic is now available as a master unit which can monitor up to four seaparate locations.   These new versions make predictive maintenance efector octavis even more cost effective.

The octavis central unit can also now be programmed via ethernet. The vibration pickups, which can be up to 30m from the central diagnostic, are made in stainless steel with a IP69K rating  for arduous environments.
