    Increasing "If" function formula

    I need to find ways in increasing the formulation of "if" function. "If" function can only accomodate 6 or 7 cells. Ex. =IF(Month="January",MTD!C206,IF(Month="February",MTD!D206,IF(Month="March",MTD!E206,IF(Month="April",MTD!F206,IF(Month="May",MTD!G206,IF(Month="June",MTD!H206)))))). I need to...

    Steam Modulating Valve for Bunker fuel heating

    Good day, Common firetube boilers such as of CleaverBrookes 800BHp,has a heat exchanger wherein fuel is heated by steam or an electric during startup. With regards to fuel heating by steam, it only has a solenoid valve to turn on steam when low temperature was sensed by a tnermostat, and turns...

    EvapCo Operation

    Dear All, How do we operate Evaporative Condenser? My colleages insists in operating all the circulating pumps of 5 evapCo units even though the a couple of Evapcos are on standby, meaning the fans aren't operating. They argue that scaling would occur if the tubes (ammonia inside) are allowed...

    Optimum Suction Pressure for Ammonia Liquid Overfeed Refrigeration

    Dear All, Our brewery is maintaining Cylindroconical Tanks (CCT) temperature @ -1degC of the beer. Our current suction pressure was set at 30 psig, -8degC. I am investigating of increasing the suction pressure to 35 psig,-6degC in order to minimized power consumption of the compressor. Is...

    Iron concentration of Boiler Water

    Can any body help me regarding our boiler water system. Iron concentration and low pH predominates our condensate from the heat exchangers. Any advise as to how we would be able to prevent it from happening. We have tried demineralized water and softened water already for make up. Still we...
