Pump and Process Protection
Process & Industrial Training Technologies

<<Positive displacement pumps deliver a given volume of fluid based on
speed regardless of system pressure (disregarding slip). As process flow is decreased the pressure developed is increased and the flow from the pump must be directed elsewhere to avoid over pressurization. To protect the pump and system the fluid must be by-passed to another destination, or relieved within the pump itself from the higher pressure discharge side to low pressure suction.>>

Maintaining Steam Traps
Enercheck Systems, Inc.

<<Failed steam traps waste and adversely affect product quality.
Therefore, a maintenance program for steam traps is a good investment. Most plant and facilities professionals with steam systems in their care have asked questions like the following: What are the signs of a malfunctioning steam trap? How often should traps be inspected? What inspection techniques are available? What testing instruments should we use? How do we start a steam trap maintenance program? What kind of training resources are required?>>

Technology Overview: Ultrasonic Detection Enercheck Systems, Inc.

<<Some of the most common plant applications are: leak detection in
pressure and vacuum systems (i.e., boilers, heat exchangers, condensers, chillers, distillation columns, vacuum furnaces, specialty gas systems), bearing inspection, steam trap inspection, valve blow-by, pump cavitation, detection of corona in switch gear, compressor valve analysis, and the integrity of seals and gaskets in tanks, pipe systems and large walk-in boxes.>> Received on Wed Oct 18 19:53:00 2000
