    Plate type heat exchanger

    rmw Thanks!! Super helpful. We've got a separate pump planned for the raw water, and our equipment generally runs continuous (23-24 hr/day) at full speed. So I think we'll be ok. I'm not sure how close we are to being as dirty as the Miss but it would probably be comparable, and with the...

    Plate type heat exchanger

    Thanks SNORGY! it's actually a marine engine and heat exchanger that we're using and the plates are Titanium. Generally they're used on pleasure craft (fun boats) but we're looking at using it in an industrial application. BTW, what is P+F? How large were the sulphur solids? We're dredging...

    Plate type heat exchanger

    My concerns exactly. I am hoping to hear both success and horror stories, so we can decide whether or not to pursue this method.

    Plate type heat exchanger

    Does anyone have experience using plate type heat exchangers for cooling Industrial Diesel Engines? I'm looking for pros and cons about the Raw Water portion of the system. We'll be pumping river water and/or ocean water and haven't heard of anyone using these types of coolers. Traditionally...

    ANSI D1.1 v CSA W59

    I am working on a SOW for a Canadian customer, but they require all welding to CSA w59. Our guys are certified to ANSI D1.1. Can anyone tell me what the major differences are, besides the fact that one is Canadian and one is American? Thanks in advance!! Schick

    Tri-clamp fittings standards

    These are weld on fittings. Whatever tubing you weld them to, they will mate. Sanitary fittings will mix and match, just so long as they are the same "size". Where you may run into issue is the associated tubing diameters. Keep your ID's continuous and match your gasket to that opening, and you...

    Tri-clamp fittings standards

    By Tri-clamp, you mean sanitary fittings??? There are a number of Tri-Clover knock offs that do just as good a job as Alpha-Laval. Otherwise, there is some cross between metric and standard sizes, but very few. Most of your list are different threads. On the flip side, there are a large number...

    CAN bus on a SLC/control logix

    Jonesy- Actually it's a meter running CAN OPEN. Unfortuantely, I'm not enough of an electrical guy to understand most of the info on that link. I did find a company who makes a gateway that would communicate between Ethernet, controlnet, etc to CAN OPEN. I'm hoping the comms occur quick enough...

    CAN bus on a SLC/control logix

    Does anyone know where I can find a can open module for a SLC 5/05 or a control logix plc?? %-) How about a way to communicate with CAN open device from either one of these plc's. I'm leaning towards a gateway, but I don't know weather or not this is feasible. I don't know much about CAN bus...

    size of valve opening

    f1- Sounds like you're dealing with 2 unkowns, Cv and downstream pressure. You're going to need to pick one. If downstream pressure is not a factor, any valve will work. If you're concerned about agitation of the fluid you're valving, pressure drop may be a significant factor along with valve...

    how do get .mnu files to display in the open dialog boxes

    Somewhere along the line, one of us here had a description field show up when he went to open a file in the open dialog box. Then we got new computers and no one knows how to get that description field to display again. We've figured out that the .mnu files in the directories are the ones that...

    flowmeter frustration

    I need help... truly an understatement I am attempting to use an electromagnetic flow meter to measure a batched volume of liquid. I am connecting it to a high speed counter on a PLC. Has anyone had any experience with the outputs from a Krohne meter? The manual provides 3 options for the...

    Allright... I am need some suggestions... I have to come up with a self powered test rig with enough juice to control an AB Control Logix PLC, (4 modules), 3 electromagnetic flow meters, and a bank of 4 solenoids, and a wireless ethernet point. my initial thought was to put a couple of...

    Win 2K / ProE FRUSTRATION!!!

    Thanks Looslib! I'll have to see what I can find. I did a quick check on the PTC site, but got discouraged quickly. I'll take a look in the environment setting for windows and see what I can find. Scubadude I'm running W2K, but can't get the NT setup file to run. The 98 disk runs fine, but the...

    Win 2K / ProE FRUSTRATION!!!

    Someone please set me straight... for the life of me I can't get the setup program to run off the PTC cd. I'm running an OS that was originally a win 98SE, now is win 2K. I can open the cd in explorer, just can't get the setup.exe to actually open. Where did I screw up??? Eric

    variable lengths

    This may be a very simple thing, but I'm just getting started with ProE 2001.... Is it possible to have a part, for example a piece of pipe, with different lengths, under one part file? I understand how to use the Family Tab function. I was more interested in being able to insert a basic cross...

    Looking for Opinions on different PLCs

    Stick with something you know. Eliminate the learning curve. What about either a MicroLogix 1500 with a couple of CompactLogix expansion cards, or a simple CompactLogix system. Since you're familiar with AB, you probably already know the software. The price difference in the hardware will be...
