“Implementing the correct, high performance compressor control strategy has direct impact upon the control of the process and the profitability of the plant. An Antisurge Valve (ASV) is utilized to protect the compressor by safely recycling gas from the discharge side to the suction side in order to keep the compressor operating point safely away from the surge limit. In a surge scenario, the ASV is designed to rapidly open in order to protect the compressor, typically under 2 seconds, and occasionally as fast as 500msec. Precision control, with minimal deadtime for steps of all sizes, is critical to keep the compressor out of surge in the first place, but equally as important in stabilizing this extremely fast process.” Click below to learn how REXA assists in successful plant performance!  https://lnkd.in/etXQJZR #REXA #Electraulic #Actuation #Accuracy #Reliability #Effiency #Precision #Compessor #Anitsurge #process #improvement #control #performance #ROI

Why are balancing valves always opened after they have been set? Test and balance technician are using a generic formula to calculate water flow and its often very inaccurate. Manufacturers develop flow charts for their equipment with designed pressure drops. The only accurate way to ensure proper flow to the equipment is referencing manufacturer literature. Pressure drops across different pieces of equipment will calculate to a much different gpm. A generic formula used to calculate flow on a CGAM and an RTAC will lead to wildly inaccurate numbers as the CGAM has a much smaller, more restrictive evaporator. I’ve seen this issue during commissioning multiple times, with multiple companies. Keep your eyes peeled and ensure you are receiving the service you are paying for. #chillers #hydronics #boiler #ahu #hvac #commissioning

Here at CTS we have the capabilities to balance up to 30,000 lbs and we typically balance turbine rotors to API tolerance of 4W/N. Upon customer request we can do API tolerance of 2W/N. Generally pumps, compressors, blowers, and gearboxes etc are balanced to different API standards. We can get more in depth on this information at a later date. Balancing shafts in rotating equipment is pivotal, as endorsed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and other industry standards. Here's why: Vibration Control: Balancing minimizes vibrations, safeguarding equipment integrity and reducing maintenance costs. Longevity: Proper balance extends the life of critical components, particularly bearings, reducing downtime and replacements. Energy Efficiency: Balanced shafts enhance energy efficiency, a crucial factor in cost-effective operations. Quality Assurance: In manufacturing, it ensures consistent product quality, aligning with API's emphasis on reliability. Safety: Reduced vibrations mean a safer work environment, aligning with API's commitment to personnel safety. Compliance: Balancing adheres to API standards, ensuring regulatory compliance and industry best practices. In summary, balancing shafts in rotating equipment is a critical maintenance practice that has a significant impact on equipment performance, reliability, energy efficiency, and safety. It helps minimize vibrations, reduce wear and tear, extend component lifespan, and ensure product quality, all of which contribute to the overall success of industrial operations. Ensure your rotating equipment adheres to API standards—prioritize balance for reliability and safety. 🛠️📊 #APIStandards #Reliability #EngineeringExcellence #turbomachinery #industrialservices #plantmaintenance #rotatingequipment CTS is here to ensure that your rotating equipment runs reliably and efficiently.

❓ How can you integrate digital solutions into mechanical valve safety systems? A captive key solution is today's industry standard for pressure protection during pipeline pigging since it functions as an independent layer of safety. The common solution in its current form comprises mechanical valve interlocks, keys, and a mechanical process control unit (MPCU) to accommodate non-linear sequences. An electronic process control unit (EPCU) is used to incorporate a permissive from the process control system (PCS) based on pressure readings from inside the pig trap to open the closure door.    ⚠ Increasing complexity in functional requirements from pig traps, like mobile pig traps, combination launchers-receivers, high-frequency pigging, and pigging on long-distance pipelines, call for an improved and highly functional safety solution connected to the PCS.    💡 By upgrading from a mechanical captive key solution for pipeline pigging to a digital captive key solution, you can achieve higher levels of safety, efficiency, visibility, flexibility, and operator friendliness.    📢 Find out more! https://lnkd.in/d6Cax3JD    #pigging #pipelines #processsafety #digital
