I'm not sure if this is of any help but I too have worked for many years designing mobile off road hydraulic systems (explosives manufacturing trucks for mines in Australia, Asia & Africa).
My personal experience is that mobile equipment life expectancy rarely depended much on continuous wear...
Hi Folks,
I have a design where I'm taking liquid CO2 from a food grade tank (used for export) and installing a new tie in to a 45MPa definitely-non-food grade reactor via a high pressure cryogenic piston pump at around 36kg/min.
I'm concerned about potential reverse flows contaminating the...
Try a positive displacement meter.
A "Trimec Multipulse" will handle pulsing ok over a range of viscosities & impurity levels.
Thermal loss flow sensors may also work (on average) (Namco & others)
I'm in Australia and have used solar hot water systems in number of locations and houses I've lived in, and also looked very closely replacing off-peak electric systems with heat pumps. Whilst the running cost is terrific (almost zero in most locations futher north than Sydney), and all the...
I have a series (~96 in an array) of shell and tube heat exchangers that are heating a slurry (tube side) with the heating medium (shell side) being steam from an alumina digestion process. The steam has about 3% vol of non-condensable gas that if left to its own devices will soon...
I am investigating a means to pressurise 3000m3/hr (~1500cfm) of a 75%CO2 25%air mixture from 0KPag to 70KPag (~10psig).
I seem to have a choice of a positive displacement (roots) blower or a centrifugal fan.
Can anyone suggest the better alternative & why.
I'm trying to determine whether I need to install a fire deluge system on a 5MW modular fibreglass cooling tower.
I understand installing a deluge system is common practice in larger towers. I assume this is because they are often timber and shut down through winter in cold climates, and burn...
