Application and Selection

The author is not an inventor, nor has he done anything new in these fields. He has only attempted to bring together such advances in a particular field in one book for their better application. The author s contribution can be regarded as an appropriate selection and application of the available technology and products for their optimum utilization. 

All relevant aspects of a machine, including its design, have been discussed but greater emphasis is laid on selection and application. Since this is a reference book the basic theory is assumed to be known to a student or a practising engineer handling such machines and/or technologies. 

Instrument transformers (CTs, class PS, CT, VTs and CVTs etc.) form important components of a switchgear assembly for measurement and protection. They are covered for their specifications, selection and application.

In many instances, vibration problems in turbomachinery can be attributed to faulty support. Once the problem areas have been identified, correcting defects can be a logical procedure. What is novel is that this result can often be accomplished through the proper selection and application of adhesives. 

Several steps can be taken to maximize the run time for the reciprocating compressor. Since wear is a function of rubbing speed, the piston speed can be kept to a minimum. Chapter 3 made recommendations for piston speed. Reliability problems due to valves are reputed to account tor 40% of the maintenance cost of the compressor. Valves are the single largest cause for unplanned shutdowns. Basically, valve life can he increased by keeping the speed of the compressor as low as practical. At 360 rpm, the valves are operated six times a second. At 1,200 rpm, ihc valves operate 20 times a second or 1,728,000 times in a day. It is not difficult to understand why the valves are considered critical. To keep the reliability in mind, valve type, material selection and application considerations such as volume ratio, gas corrosiveness, and gas cleanliness need attention by the experts. One final note is that while lubrication is an asset to the rubbing parts, it is not necessarily good for valve reliability.

The selection of the material suitable for the service depends upon the corrosive nature of the fluid and its bursting characteristics in the pressure range under consideration. For low pressure, a single standard disk of some materials would be too thin to handle and maintain its shape, as well as give a reasonable service life from the corrosion and fatigue standpoints. See section on Selection and Application. 

In machine-tool operations, as in all others, the wisest course for the user is to employ reputable lubricants in the manner recommended by the machine-tool manufacturer and the oil company supplying the product. This policy simplifies the selection and application of machine tool lubricants. The user can rest assured that all the considerations outlined above have been taken into account by both authorities. 

The benefits to be obtained by the correct selection and application of coolant are considerable. The cost is hardly a major factor in production operations, however, because, on average, the price of coolant amounts to about 1 per cent of the finished cost of a machined component.
