    Boiler Code Requirements for Unfired Steam Boiler and ORC

    Understood and agreed on the local specific rules, and for any given installation this will obviously be done. My question is more general - I suppose I should clarify that I am looking for some sort of "common thread" among regulations in general. Specifically: - Are local regulations so...

    Boiler Code Requirements for Unfired Steam Boiler and ORC

    I am designing a small scale Waste Heat Recovery power system (Rankine cycle) for various applications of generating electricity from waste heat. We will use a Waste Heat Recovery Unit (Heat Exchanger) as our "boiler" - note that it will NOT be a fired unit. We can run either on steam or on a...

    Spun bushing annealed hardened steel shaft?

    The Vespel didn't actually "go away", it seems to have melted a bit on the inside, and lost its finish, but remained in contact with the shaft, and in fact bound up on the shaft once it started to melt (high temp vespel, good to 600F). That said, at some point while the shaft was getting hot...

    Cross-reference item numbers in assembly drawings

    Context: I'm creating an large assembly procedure, with lots of exploded views, and step by step instructions to assemble a machine. I've got the Top Level BOM on the first page, and then for each "Step" (which is a configuration of the assembly) I've got a separate page, with the exploded...
