Detecting and Controlling Water in Oil
Moisture is considered a chemical contaminant when suspended or mixed with lubricating oils. It presents a combination of chemical and physical problems for the lubricant and machinery, respectively. The potential problems, states of existence and methods for measuring moisture are discussed here.
Filter Analysis Describes the History of Wear
Across-bar cooler is one of the main pieces of equipment in cement production. It is used for the transport and cooling of clinker, one of the ingredients of cement. Cement kilns operate with a cross-bar cooler which consists of four grates driven by a hydraulic station.
Strategies for Decontaminating and Reclaiming Your In-Service Lubricants
At most plants, oil reclamation is not fully supported due to a lack of technical knowledge and availability of technologies, processes and applications. Why should reclamation be considered? The process has evolved over the years through rigorous oil testing and compatibility analysis of in-field trials. The advances and scientific support now available have led to robust reclamation technologies and processes. However, it is important to understand the limits and boundaries.
