The Titanic had a total of 29 boilers, which were housed in six boiler rooms. Out of these, 24 were double-ended, and 5 were single-ended boilers. The double-ended boilers were 20 feet long, with a diameter of 15 feet 9 inches, and contained six coal-burning furnaces each. The single-ended boilers were 11 feet 9 inches long, with the same diameter, and had three furnaces. The boilers were designed to generate steam at a working pressure of 215 pounds per square inch (psi). The steam produced was used to drive the ship's reciprocating engines and the low-pressure turbine, which together powered the Titanic's three propellers. The total heating surface of the boilers was 144,142 square feet, and they contained 159 furnaces in total. Each boiler weighed around 91.5 tons and could hold 48.5 tons of water. The boilers required a significant amount of coal, with the Titanic's coal bunkers having a capacity of 6,611 tons. On a daily basis, over 600 tons of coal were shoveled into the furnaces by hand, a task performed by a large team of firemen and trimmers working in shifts. The intense and demanding nature of the work in the boiler rooms highlighted the operational challenges faced by the engineering crew aboard the Titanic. #combustion #engineering #shipping Cochran Ltd

Check out this Megator L150B directly coupled with an Ex motor ready to ship to a customer. Featuring powerful suction, self-priming capabilities, and constant capacity at varying heads, Megator positive displacement Sliding Shoe pumps can handle rough conditions and a variety of liquids, viscous or free-flowing, clean or dirty. Able to run without harm during dry suction, they are self-compensating for wear and have a simple design with few working parts and front cover access to its wear parts. When it comes to pumps & pumping systems, we have the equipment and know-how to solve problems, maximize productivity, and reduce maintenance costs! #Megator #maritimeindustry #shipyards #marine #maritime #marineindustry #oilgas #offshore #pump #industry #ships #engineering #manufacturing #industrial #shipbuilding #bilgepump #wastwatertreatment #navalarchitecture

part 3 All rotary lobe and circumferential piston pumps are designed according to the same construction principle. Two displacement elements (3) mounted on parallel shafts (1) are supported by an external gearbox (5). The two displacers (3) turn in opposite direction with minimal radial and axial clearances. They neither touch each other nor the surrounding pump casing. The shafts are synchronized by spur gears (4). The displacers (3) are shaped so that they seal the suction chamber against the pressure chamber in any position. This sealing is only achieved by the gap, not by additional seals or valves. The removable pump cover (2) seals the pump housing and allows easy access from the front. #Pumps #Gear #Mechanical #Engineering #OilAndGas #Petrochemicals #Hydrulic #Explanation

🌟 Things are looking much shinier at a Tennessee technical college. 🌟 From a 30 year old HB Smith cast iron ridden with cracks, waterside scale and inefficiencies to (3) new Camus Hydronics, Ltd Dynamax  800,000 BTU units.    The dated boiler was used for building heat and the steam from this boiler was used to heat shell and tube heat exchangers.    Maffett Loftis Engineering, LLC was acquired for the design and Boiler Supply Company successfully removed the boiler and heat exchangers and installed the new hot water Camus boilers that would operate from outside temperature. The Camus units will operate together as needed achieving mid-90 percent operating efficiency, which will significantly lower the the universities' fuel cost and emissions sent to the atmosphere. #boilersupplyco #boilers #university #Camus #Hydronics

📢 #ACV / Vertical Continuous Feeder #VIDMARGroup Our #ACV in different capacities, 8 up to 16 m3, are an essential part and in a short time also irreplaceable, for all plants and #newprojects or #modernizations of #AlternativeFuels that #VIDMAR designs and manufactures in the #cement industry around the world. The #ACV Continuous Feeding system manages, regulates and keeps the material continuously #aerated, in motion, avoiding the caking due to compression that these materials usually suffer when static during storage periods. In this way, the transition to the next equipment is carried out smoothly, avoiding packages or batches of material that make subsequent weighing or conveying more difficult. The versatility of our #ACV allows us to include them in our projects also as.... 📢 direct recipients of the orange peel grabs or grabs for overhead cranes!!, being the starting point of the material in the process plant. The #automation of the #Overheadcrane carried out by the 🥇 automation division of #VIDMAR, allows us to #schedule the downloads in a controlled and perfectly positioned way for a correct material transfer on the #ACV.

ANOTHER NUCOR DIVISION ORDERS NEW GAS COUPLING SYSTEM FROM INTECTO PTI https://lnkd.in/gQ7a--XC INTECO PTI will equip the entire ladle fleet in the melt shop. The order includes engineering, installation supervision, and start-up. The INTECO PTI gas coupling system is the original system and is the quickest, safest, most reliable and most maintenance friendly automatic connection device for the stirring gas supply to the steel ladle available on the market. The system ensures the supply of the stirring gas to the ladle automatically. The technology eliminates manual operation to couple and decouple of couplers from gas source to ladle. This is a metal-to-metal connection without any O-Rings or gasket type sealing whatsoever. Additional advantages of this system are: No more operator presence next to ladle full of liquid steel The high flexibility in the X-,Y-,Z- axis enables the unit to compensate possible misaligned ladle position Simple and sturdy design with good access to all components Any application especially with limited space condition The gas coupling concept provides an absolute independency of any hydraulic, pneumatic media supply or electrical power The unit enables high temperature applications up to 932°F (500°C), e.g. EAF or VTD environments #steel #steelmaking #steelindustry

A journal bearing is a type of plain bearing that supports a rotating shaft within a machine. It consists of a shaft journal (cylindrical portion) and a bearing surface. The bearing surface is usually a layer of lubricating oil, providing a low-friction interface between the shaft and the bearing. This design helps reduce friction, support loads, and dissipate heat in various mechanical systems like engines and turbines. #centrifugalcompressors #oilandgas #gasturbines #steamturbines #journalbearing #MMS #Maintenancesservices

Project Update!👨🏭 We have now installed the Axial Cyclone for Baghouse #2 for the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) fume treatment plant project at Algoma Steel Inc. What is an Axial Cyclone and what does it do? The cyclone is located on the secondary fumes suction line before the Bag Filter. Its function is to separate the coarser dust, from the main-stream, thus avoiding unnecessary filter loading, and the ignited coal particles from causing damage to the filter bags.   The cyclone is made up of a cylindrical external shell equipped with an internal static rotor designed to give the fumes a rotational axial motion. Due to the centrifugal force, the heavier and sparks particles are brought in contact with the outer shell and spent and stopped by friction. Fume discharging is through a pyramidal hopper placed along the cyclone axis. The recovered particle matter is collected in the hopper located underneath the cyclone and then conveyed by means of a pneumatic transport system to the storage silos. Great job to all parties involved including Elliott Engineering who designed the lift plan for this work.
