This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because many companies expend so few resources on training, new engineers, technicians, and analysts are often ill-prepared to tackle real-world problems and produce real-world solutions. And when it comes to large, expensive machinery, every minute of downtime can translate into the loss of millions of dollars. Rotating Machinery Reliability for Technicians and Engineers is a compilation of those problems encountered daily by large manufacturers, delving deep into machinery fault analysis, with a concentration on vibration, bearings, and electrical issues that cause large problems. The work contains more than 50 case studies with the actual data and solutions, along with industry standards and best practices, covering what works, and perhaps more importantly, what doesn't work--all the result of the author's 45+ years in the field. It features a chapter on diagnosing and solving electric discharge machining damage in ball bearings. Rounding out the incredible package is an affiliated website, www.rotatingmachinereliability.com, with invaluable resources for the technician and engineer: On-the-job videos, detailing exact specifications for analysis and troubleshooting. Spreadsheets for designing dynamic absorbers, estimating thermal growth, and calculating steel balance weight and weight removal Technical white papers on the elimination of electrical discharge damage and designing rotating machinery foundations Directions for implementing the latest technology using amplified motion to quantify operation deflection shapes. Advanced Praise for the Book... This is the book I wish I had when I started in the industry." "Hands-down the best work I've ever seen, making difficult concepts easy to understand, and offering tremendous value to beginners and experienced techs/engineers alike." "A must-read for anyone involved in rotating equipment reliability, especially new technicians." "A wonderful, helpful tool that has helped my team understand how to troubleshoot vibration issues in the field." Shows how analysts of 5 or 50 years in the field can help themselves in their approach to investigating potential issues in plant machinery."

Download or read book 1 Forsthoffer s Rotating Equipment Handbooks Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment written by William E. Forsthoffer and published by Elsevier Science. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment' is an overview of the main types of rotating machinery in industry, and covers such aspects as system dynamics, surge control, vibration and balancing, radial bearing design, performance parameters, rotor system design and operation, rotor axial (thrust) forces, performance objectives and mechanical restraints, auxiliary systems and seals. This book will enhance rotating equipment reliability and safety throughout the many industries where such equipment is vital to a successful business. Over recent years there have been substantial changes in those industries which are concerned with the design, purchase and use of special purpose (ie critical, high-revenue) rotating equipment. Key personnel have been the victims of early retirement or have moved to other industries: contractors and end-users have reduced their technical staff and consequently have to learn complex material from scratch . As a result, many companies are finding that they are devoting unnecessary man hours to the discovery and explanation of basic principles, and having to explain these to clients who should already be aware of them. In addition, the lack of understanding by contractors and users of equipment characteristics and operating systems often results in a wrong fit and a costly reliability problem. The stakes can be high, and it against this background that this book has been published. It is the outcome of many years experience and is based on well-honed teaching material which is easily readable, understandable and actually enjoyable! This is a five volume set. The volumes are: 1. Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment 2. Pumps 3. Compressors 4. Auxiliary Systems 5. Reliability Optimization thru Component Condition Monitoring and Root Cause Analysis * A distillation of many years of on-site training by a well-known US Engineer who also operates in the Middle East. * A Practical book written in a succinct style and well illustrated throughout. * An overview of the main types of rotating machinery in industry."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rotating machinery or turbomachinery is a machine with a rotating component that transfers energy to a fluid or vice versa. Rotating machines are one of the most widely used machines. They are used in everyday life, at least once a day. We find a turbomachine (fan) in a hair dryer and in a computer. We find a turbomachine (pump) in a refrigerator. Other commonly used household machines are clothes washers and dish washers. These machines need to drain the dirty water and replace with clean water. To do so an important component of these machines is a pump that is used to remove the dirty water. A water pump (hydrodynamic pump) is also essential to our car?s operation by maintaining an optimum operating temperature of the engine. The pump ensures that the coolant keeps circulating through the engine block, hoses and radiator, and maintains an optimum operating temperature. Turbomachines are also key machines used in power generation, fluid transportation, the processing industry and energy conversion. This book presents recent developments in improving the aero-thermal performance and the efficiencies of rotating machines.
