Descriere
Contributor(s):Author: Norman P. Lieberman Author: Elizabeth T. Lieberman The latest methods for troubleshooting and maintaining process equipment Applicable to a broad range of technicians and industries and fully updated throughout, A Working Guide to Process Equipment, Fourth Edition, explains how to diagnose, troubleshoot, and correct problems with chemical and petroleum refining process equipment. Nine new chapters cover: Tray design details Shell-and-tube heat exchanger design details Relief valve system design Vapor lock and exchanger flooding in steam systems Steam generation operating and design details Wastewater strippers Thermodynamics -- how it applies to process equipment Centrifugal pumps -- reducing seal and bearing failures Hand calculations for distillation towers Vapor -- liquid equilibrium, absorption, and stripping calculations Filled with examples and illustrations, this practical resource demonstrates how theory applies to solving real-world plant operation problems. Selected hand calculation methods are also provided. Comprehensive coverage includes: Distillation Tower Trays Tower Pressure Control Distillation Towers Reboilers Tower Internals Instruments Packed Towers Steam and Condensate Systems Bubble Point and Dew Point Steam Strippers Draw-Off Nozzle Hydraulics Pumparounds and Tower Heat Flows Condensers and Tower Pressure Control Air Coolers Deaerators and Steam Systems Steam Generation Wastewater Strippers Vacuum Systems Steam Turbines Surface Condensers Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers Fired Heaters Refrigeration Systems Cooling Water Systems Catalytic Effects Centrifugal Pumps Control Valves Separators Centrifugal Compressors and Surge Reciprocating Compressors Corrosion Fluid Flow in Pipes Super-Fractionation Stage Computer Control Field Troubleshooting
