What is a Parameter ? In a process context, a parameter is a variable that influences the operation and outcome of a process. Parameters can be adjusted and monitored to ensure optimal performance, quality, and efficiency. Here are some common types of parameters in different processes: 1. Temperature: Crucial in processes like chemical reactions, welding, and HVAC systems. 2. Pressure: Important in hydraulic systems, boilers, and water pumps. 3. Flow Rate: Monitored in pipelines, water distribution systems, and chemical processes. 4. Speed: Relevant in machining, conveyor systems, and motor operations. 5. Voltage/Current: Key in electrical systems and equipment. 6. Vibration: Monitored in rotating machinery like pumps and compressors to detect imbalances or faults. 7. pH Level: Important in water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and food processing. 8. Torque: Measured in mechanical systems to ensure proper force application. 9. Humidity: Controlled in HVAC systems and certain manufacturing processes. 10. Material Composition: Ensures quality and consistency in manufacturing processes. as a process technician, monitor and adjust many of these parameters is to maintain process efficiency and safety. #Openforwork #mechanical #engineering #technician #rotatingequipment #process #safetyfirst

Know of a good electrical technician?

Variable Frequency Drives

Follow a process! Often, when troubleshooting a problem, service technicians will have all the correct data to confirm that a part is not bad but will still change the part because they do not know what else to do or think there could be a wild scenario that the part is still bad even though all the tests say it's not the problem. They do not follow a troubleshooting process and work through a problem step by step. Just like the kid in the video had all the letters correct, but what he thought the letters said was totally wrong because he did not know how to interpret the data. In order to be successful in troubleshooting problems in the boiler room, service technicians need to stick to a process. Jumping around to different safety controls and jumping them out to see if the boiler will start is not a troubleshooting process. This is why training on understanding the sequence of operations on a boiler is so important as well as understanding electrical troubleshooting. Skipping around will lead to inconsistent results, but following a process will eventually lead you straight to the problem. #boilers #steam #training #hvac #skills #electrical #mechanical
