    The command "SelectRecord" isn't available now HELP!

    Hello all, I'm having a really irritating problem and I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere on the web. I'm using Access 2003 and I have a form thats controls are bound to a simple table. I created a "duplicate record" button using the wizard, and then tweaked the code just a...

    York Chillers, OPC & Automation in Visual Studio

    Engineers, I'm relatively new to the world of industrial networking as a chemical engineer, but I'm working on a project that should challenge me quite a bit. I'm going to be installing a few refrigeration units that I want to network with an OPC server using Modbus protocol. I think I've...

    York Chillers - communicating process information to OPC server

    Dave, Thanks for the direction. I think my sales guy is relatively new and doesn't know a whole lot about comm protocols. I don't really blame him, I don't either! I was thinking Modbus could be a solution. I've heard that the York control system is pretty proprietary, how would I go...

    Communicating with York YCIV Chiller and OPC Servers

    I am doing a project to install a York YCIV chiller (MRU) for process cooling. This is a stand-alone system with its own local controller, but I'd like to provide more information to my operators. I want to have some way to monitor the process conditions/alarm status of the MRU remotely...

    York Chillers - communicating process information to OPC server

    HVAC engineers; I'm a chemical engineer and I'm doing a project that involves installing a York YCIV MRU for process cooling. These things are most common in HVAC, so I figure this is the best place to ask. I want to have some way to monitor the process conditions/alarm status of the MRU...

    Oversized Motor - Poor Power Factor

    jghrist, Yeah you are right; don't know where that came from. Other than the typo; is the method correct if I can accurately measure the amperes per phase?

    Oversized Motor - Poor Power Factor

    All, Thanks for you responses. The data reported is what I was provided with; I recognize that it doesn't make much sense. Attached is the motor curve for the original 150HP motor. You'll notice it says 150/37.5; that is because this is a two speed motor, but I am only concerned with the...

    Oversized Motor - Poor Power Factor

    All, First let me preface this post by stating that I am in no way an electrical engineer. My experience with motors and electricity is limited; so please respond in a way that typical engineer could understand. I have a very oversized motor driving an reactor agitator. The agigitators were...

    Orifice Plate Flow Meters - Measurable Range

    CJKruger and all, My transmitter is scalable from 150"H2O-1000"H20 or so. What I was getting at with my orignial question is that that at some point the sqrt method for calculating flow falls apart (ceases to correlate accurately). So, I can easily go rescale my transmitter and control...

    Orifice Plate Flow Meters - Measurable Range

    All, I have an orifice plate flow meter installed to track N2 usage throughout my plant. The issue is that the meter (the transmitter) goes full scale when a downstream solenoid gets stuck open. Obviously I need to rescale the transmitter. My question is, how do I know what the true...

    Frictional Losses for Branched Pipes

    BigInch, 10-4, Thanks. For the record I would take the chickens.

    Frictional Losses for Branched Pipes

    Latexman, The liquid goes into all three reactors at the same time; this system is diluent delivery system for a run-away reactor emergency. There are flow meters and control valves on each of three 1" lines. Everyone else, You all have provided me good answers, but can you help me out...

    Frictional Losses for Branched Pipes

    I am trying to calculate the total differential head across a pump (to size it), and I am having conceptual issues calculating the frictional losses on the discharge side. I'll ask a much simplified question that should help. Assume I have a 2" pipe carrying a liquid. The 2" pipe then...
