Vapour Compression Chillers and Vapour Absorption Chillers Vapour Compression Chillers and Vapour Absorption Chillers Your browser does not support the video tag. Overview of Chillers Chillers are used in various industrial and commercial applications to cool fluids and air. The two primary types of chillers are vapour compression chillers and vapour absorption chillers. Vapour Compression Chillers These chillers use a mechanical compressor to circulate the refrigerant and remove heat from the system. Vapour Absorption Chillers These chillers use a heat source, such as natural gas or steam, to drive the refrigeration cycle, typically using water and lithium bromide as the refrigerant and absorbent pair. © 2024 Chiller Education

Fire Pump Rooms that pass first time design once, test cleanly

  Fire Pump Rooms that pass first time — design once, test cleanly 🎯 Purpose Provide code‑reliable water flow and pressure to sprinklers and standpipes during fire. Operate under loss of power and single faults, without operator intervention. (NFPA 20, NFPA 13, NFPA 14) 🧩 Anatomy / Components • Fire pump (diesel or electric) with listed controller. • Suction from tank with anti‑vortex plate and air‑release at high point. (NFPA 22) • Eccentric reducer flat‑on‑top and long, straight approach to the eye. • Discharge check + OS&Y gate, relief to safe drain/test header. • Jockey pump + pressure switch to maintain setpoint. • Test header/flowmeter line, gauges on suction/discharge, trench to drain. • Signals to FACP: pump run, controller trouble, phase loss, low fuel. 📐 Setpoints & Specs • Suction velocity ≤ 1.8 m/s; straight length ≥ 5–10 × suction Ø. • Anti‑vortex plate diameter ≈ 2 × outlet; elevation ≥ 0.5 × outlet above floor. • Normal pressure band: jockey ± ...

Calculation of Grease Applied in Bearings - Are You Doing It Right?

  Calculation of Grease Applied in Bearings - Are You Doing It Right? In industrial maintenance, one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects is the proper lubrication of rolling element bearings. Over-greasing or under-greasing can both be equally damaging, leading to premature failure, increased friction, and downtime. So how do you calculate the right amount of grease? is: A widely accepted formula for initial grease quantity Grease (g)=DxB×0.005 Where: ◆ D = Outer Diameter of the bearing (in mm) B = Width of the bearing (in mm) ◆ 0.005 = Empirical constant (for standard applications) Example: For a bearing with D = 100 mm and B = 25 mm: 100×25×0.005=12.5grams This formula helps ensure a balanced grease film without causing churning or heat build-up. 👉Initial fill = calculated value 👉Relubrication = only 1/3 to 1/2 of free space 👉Right lubrication = longer bearing life + smooth operations! Tip: Always refer to the bearing manufacturer's specifications (SKF, FAG, NSK, etc.)...
