Jet fuel pumps play a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of commercial aviation. The performance and reliability of these pumps directly impact aircraft operation, fuel consumption, and overall flight safety. As demands for efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability continue to increase in the aviation industry, the optimization of jet fuel pump designs […]
Downtime can be the most expensive element of any manufacturing operation. Here are some important facts and tips you should know to cut down on disruptions in your operation.
Kerem Algüzey, design engineer at ENKA Insaat ve Sanayi A.S., used AFT Fathom to simulate the central heating cycle to inform the design of the hydraulic thermal system for the Dradenau Combined Heat and Power Plant under construction in Hamburg, Germany. This state-of-the-art facility will produce 180 MW of electrical capacity and an additional 260 […]
Upgrading to Design Envelope pumps helped GAC save energy costs of 20,000 AED in the first year. Armstrong’s Pump Manager service provides reports and notifications to ensure the pumps are optimized. Exemplifying their commitment to sustainability, GAC invested in an HVAC upgrade to reduce energy use.
Chesterton Connect™ System Detected Vibration Caused by Ragging Issues in Submersible Pumps Helping Prevent Pump Damage Sewage treatment is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw […]
It seems leaf blowers are everywhere in our neighborhoods, very often disturbingly noisy. There is a need for excellent aerodynamic and aeroacoustics design for such devices. Three leaf blower configurations were designed using CFturbo: a single-stage design, a dual-stage design, and a contra-rotating design. The goal of the design study is to minimize the rotational […]
A wastewater treatment facility has 10 RAS (Return Activated Sludge) solids handling pumps. These pumps have been sealed using packing and replacement sleeves for several years with major leakage and premature sleeve wear (due to packing abrasion). The customer was looking for an easy way to install solution that would increase Mean Time Between Failure […]
The Study This field survey was conducted at Hormel Foods, Freemont, Nebraska. Voltage readings were taken from the shafts of VFD-driven motors throughout the plant to demonstrate the presence of harmful shaft currents. In addition, voltage readings were taken on the motor that powers the plant’s hog kill main chain drive — both before and […]
Milk is the basic ingredient in the production of a long list of dairy products and by-products ranging from whole pasteurized milk to cheese, to derivatives such as whey, agglomerated milk and high protein powders, infant formula, whey product concentrate, whey permeate, lactose, and coffee whiteners. And every step in the production of dairy products […]
Two easily overlooked, yet extremely critical parameters when evaluating and specifying torque transducers are – Mechanical Overload Rating and Electrical Overrange. Each is important, but often confused and misunderstood. Overload – represents a mechanical safety factor for the sensor element. Normally expressed as a percentage of the sensor full scale rating, it is the maximum […]
