Best practices for maintenance of FRF in turbine EHC system

What is a Turbine EH System?

Due to high steam pressure & temperature in the vicinity of a steam turbine, as safety compliance, it is a mandate to use Fire Resistant Fluids (FRF) for hydraulic control of the EHC system. A specially designed synthetic fluid called tri-xylenyl phosphate ester demonstrates best fire resistant properties for the application.

Phosphate esters are polar fluids with excellent lubricating properties that can operate under extreme conditions. However, phosphate esters require strict control in order to extend their useful lifespan.

Water and Acids de-grade FRF

Phosphate esters (which are being used as FRF in EHC systems) are manufactured under controlled environment through the esterification of phosphoric acid, where water is a by-product.

Phosphoric Acid + Alcohol → Phosphate Ester + Water

Unfortunately, phosphate esters are highly hygroscopic (tendency to absorb water) in nature and the esterification process is reversible when phosphate esters come in contact with water. This is referred to as hydrolysis. The higher the water content and temperature, the faster the ester will break down by hydrolysis.

Phosphate Ester + Water → Phosphoric Acid or Acid Phosphates + Alcohol

Thereby it is recommended to control the water level, temperature, and acidity in FRF of the EHC systems. If uncontrolled, the acidity accelerates rapidly.

TAN value or Total Acid Number (measured in unit mgKOH/gm) is a parameter to denote acid content accumulation in FRF. A high TAN value degrades the fluid rapidly, decreases its viscosity and resistivity. Thereby causing acid corrosion of sensitive servo-valves and other system components of an EH System.

FRF de-gradation due to particles

Water and acid are not the only contaminants which can degrade the FRF.

Since the dynamic oil film and fine clearances in servo-valves are less than 5 micron, even the finest silt particles and sludge/varnish deposits from fluid degradation can hinder proper operation. Fine particles get trapped in clearances between the valve plunger and housing. This abrasive wear is known as seizing or grinding. This can result in wear rates that are a thousand times greater than anticipated by the valve manufacturer. Therefore, it only makes sense to use very fine filtration (3-5 micron) for maintaining the EHC fluid. For any Technical Consultancy Call - +91 89751 50700

Consequences of FRF de-gradation

Acid, gel and sludge/varnish formation

Valve sticking or blocking

Reduced lubricity and film strength

Corrosion, erosion and abrasion wear

Reduced fluid resistivity

Soot generation (entrained air)

Short fluid life

The result is poor EHC system reliability and reduced turbine availability.

Condition based monitoring of FRF

It is highly recommended to carry out regular fluid analysis of FRF and identify any abnormalities in the trend for further preventive actions. Recommended parameter values for FRF: Parameter unit value Appearance ASTM colour code clear, < 3 Water content ppm 500 Kinematic Viscosity (@40 0C) cSt 41-45 Acidity (TAN) mgKOH/gm < 0.15 Particle contamination code ISO 4406 15/12 Cleanliness code (NAS-1638) NAS 1638 5

FC3S

T04E turbine equipped FC is fully tuned & fully certified

garage Carrera

3-29-15 Wakagi, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo 147 03-5398-1565

Now is the time to buy FC3S. There are many cars available in the market and it is easy to choose. If you miss this period, the rest will be good.

There will only be less and less, and prices will go up accordingly. This garage Carrera FC3S has been properly tuned, and the price is 1.55 million yen. For the tune menu, I replaced the turbine with T04E , added 7200x2 to the original computer, and controlled the fuel with AIC. The intercooler is an Amemiya two-layer type, the waste gate is a TRUST racing type, and the muffler is a 90 mid-range sports type.

Although it is a 1st year model, this is all there is to it.

It's been done, fully certified, and 1.55 million yen is cheap. Surprisingly, the mileage is only 48,000km, so I'm sure the engine has a lot more to offer. The only exterior features include Amemiya's Type 1 rear spoiler and Yours' aero mirror. The suspension has Esprit. It has a casual appearance and gives off an atmosphere dedicated to driving. In fact, seeing that the 5-point system was installed in the roll cage, the previous owner must have been very picky about running. The FC's body rigidity was low, especially in this part with the large hatch. This twisting of the body is the reason why even if you keep your feet steady, you still feel ambiguous near the limit. The purpose of building a roll cage is to increase safety in the event of a fall, as well as increase body rigidity. Even a 5-point system is quite effective. Driving on the circuit in the same condition as purchased

I think I can make a good time If you look at the actual 5-point system installed in the roll

PIC CAPTIONS

●Neatly laid out white meters are lined up inside the glove box. The interior is so clean that it's hard to believe it's a very old FC.

●Equipped with a 5-point roll cage. The increased rigidity around the rear makes suspension settings easier. It seems to be a must-have item for younger model FCs.

●The T04E turbine does not have peaky output characteristics, so it is easy to handle. The low sound quality that comes from the sports muffler gives off an atmosphere of great power.

A major misconception in the Green, Environmentalist, Solarpunk, and adjacent movements is that Combustion Technology and other "Dirty" Technologies are necessarily damaging to our Environment.

These Technologies have become so damaging to the Environment because of their ever continually expanding Exploitative use, as a product of Capitalism.

This misconception comes from the Green movement being both a Political and Aesthetic movement. A significant part of the Green movement is imagining an Aspirational Future- in opposition to the problems of the Present and Cataclysmic Future of ongoing Climate Change.

A typical Image of a Green Future is one of whitewashed towers adorned with solar panels and geodesic domes, underneath churning wind turbines and blimps, all this broken up by corridors of green fruit bearing foliage.

Green Aesthetics aspire to a Green Future with Technology that is itself Non-Exploitative- of both Nature and Humanity, that at least appears to be Scientific, and above all "Clean".

A typical Green image of the Cataclysmic Future- the "Climate Apocalypse"- is one of thick black smog clogging up the sky, endless fields of dry cracked earth, masses of people huddled hungry sleeping outside, men in dark clothes carrying heavy guns to hold hostage the last drop of oil.

The Green imagination of the Cataclysmic Future is exaggerated reflection of the horrors of Modern Capitalism- a future in which Technology is Violent, Crude, and "Dirty".

The Cataclysmic Future is an Uncontrollable Factory of Human Suffering. The Green Future is a neatly Maintained Garden of Ecological Harmony. Our Technology then gains a mythological character of its own, it becomes a Behemoth of a deeper more powerful Nature, a Behemoth of "Human Nature" to be conquered.

This is not to say that burning Fossil Fuels doesn't create CO2 emissions that have lead to Climate Change, or that their extraction doesn't pollute local ecosystems- rather that Combustion Technology can and will continue to warm people's homes after we dismantle Capitalism, without the Exploitation.

In this myth we forget that Technology is in the hands of people, Technology is as violent as the system it is used under, and as clean as the means by which it was created. It is a mater of seizing it from the powerful.

This myth also obfuscates the ongoing nature of the Climate Crisis, that the continues to compound the stresses of Late Capitalism and Colonialism on the Global Working Class. The Factory of Human Suffering is already here, and yet it is only a Factory. It was created by people, is maintained by people, and will be destroyed by people- all we need is a Strike.

Capitalism will not survive the Climate Crisis- but we will. No one can say what the world will look like on the other side, but it wont be a Garden or a Factory- at least one that is totally in or out of our control.

We do not need any newly Invented Technology to grasp the Future, we will use whatever tools we have when we get there.

The Role Of Commercial Heat Pumps In Achieving Sustainability Goals

Commercial heat pumps are now crucial to accomplishing sustainability and carbon reduction goals as businesses place a greater emphasis on these issues. A low-carbon, energy-efficient substitute for conventional heating and cooling systems, commercial heat pumps help businesses save a lot of money while also lessening their environmental impact. This blog will examine how commercial heat pumps promote the integration of renewable energy sources, lower carbon emissions, and increase energy efficiency in order to achieve sustainability goals.

Energy efficiency and reduced energy consumption

Commercial heat pumps are essential to sustainability objectives in large part because of their excellent energy efficiency. Heat pumps use less energy to move heat from one place to another, in contrast to traditional heating systems that depend on burning fossil fuels. Compared to producing heat by combustion, this heat transmission process is significantly more efficient.

Higher Coefficient of Performance (COP): Heat pumps can provide three to four units of heating or cooling for each unit of electricity used, achieving a COP of three to four. On the other hand, electric heaters or conventional boilers usually have a COP of 1. Businesses are able to lower their overall energy consumption as a direct result of this efficiency boost.

Reduced operational costs: Commercial heat pumps also assist in reducing operating costs by using less energy. Significant energy savings are possible, particularly for large establishments with high heating and cooling requirements, such as factories, hotels, hospitals, and office buildings.

Cutting down on carbon emissions

Cutting down on carbon emissions is a key part of corporate sustainability objectives. When it comes to reducing emissions, heat pumps have a substantial advantage over conventional heating systems.

Minimal carbon footprint: High concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other dangerous greenhouse gases are produced when natural gas, oil, or other fossil fuels are burned in conventional heating systems like boilers and furnaces. Conversely, heat pumps require electricity, which can be produced using sustainable resources like hydropower, solar energy, or wind. They are therefore a far more environmentally friendly option, particularly when paired with clean energy sources.

Carbon reduction goals: A number of governments are enacting more stringent laws pertaining to carbon emissions, such as carbon taxes and fines for businesses that don’t reach these goals. Businesses may keep ahead of these rules and drastically cut their carbon emissions by switching to heat pumps, which will help mitigate the effects of climate change worldwide.

Renewable energy integration

The interoperability of commercial heat pumps with renewable energy sources is another way they help achieve sustainability goals. Heat pumps are a crucial component of a business’s shift to greener energy since they may be run on renewable energy.

Solar and wind energy: To further lessen their dependency on the grid and their carbon imprint, businesses can combine heat pumps with solar panels or wind turbines. Businesses can attain nearly emission-free heating and cooling systems by combining heat pumps with renewable energy, which is in line with long-term sustainability and carbon neutrality goals.

Energy independence: Businesses can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and outside energy providers by powering heat pumps with renewable energy. This promotes energy security in addition to long-term cost stabilization, especially for industries like manufacturing and healthcare that require steady heating and cooling.

Durability and reduced maintenance

Reducing emissions is only one aspect of sustainability; another is extending the life and effectiveness of existing systems. From a lifecycle standpoint, commercial heat pumps are a sustainable option due to their long operational life and low maintenance requirements.

Sturdy and long-lasting: Unlike conventional boilers and furnaces, which have a limited lifespan, commercial heat pumps are made to endure up to 20–25 years. This lessens the need for regular replacements, which minimizes waste and conserves resources.

Reduced maintenance needs: Because heat pumps don’t burn fuel and have fewer mechanical components, they require less maintenance than fuel-based systems. This increases their overall sustainability by reducing the number of service calls and the chance of malfunctions.

The role of Vindsol in sustainable heating solutions

Modern commercial heat pumps made for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility are available at Vindsol for companies wishing to install sustainable heating and cooling solutions. In addition to offering dependable and reasonably priced heating and cooling solutions for a variety of applications, Vindsol’s commercial heat pump in Bangalore assists businesses in lowering their energy usage and achieving sustainability goals.

Common mistakes of Oil Sampling and how to avoid them?

Routine Oil sampling and analysis are crucial for a successful maintenance program. It provides important information to determine the condition of the equipment. Sampling is a vital procedure for collecting fluid from machinery for the purpose of oil analysis. The results and reports of oil analysis depend on the quality of the oil sample. Thus, oil sampling must be performed keeping some important goals in mind -

To MAXIMIZE the Data Density.

To MAXIMIZE Consistency.

To MAXIMIZE Relevance.

To MINIMIZE Data Disturbance.

There can be three ways of extracting samples from a component - drain port, drop-tube (in a vacuum pump), and a dedicated sampling point. A common mistake is taking an oil sample from the reservoir in circulating and hydraulic systems. Taking samples from the tank is not a best practice. If the sample is taken from the drain lines before emptying the tank, the concentration of wear metal would be much higher. Let’s discuss the common mistakes of oil sampling which can be avoided -

Some sampling methods are simply used for convenience, like inadequate flushing, using a vacuum pump (drop-tube sampling), usage of uncleaned bottles, etc. By following these bad practices, the quality of the sample taken is not apt and reliable.

If the samples are collected from the bottom of the tank and sumps, they may show higher concentrations of the sediments and water.

If the samples are consistently collected from the turbulent zones of reservoirs and tanks may not give reliable information.

Sometimes the sample is collected consistently from downstream of pressure-line or off-line. In this case, sampling accuracy is not given importance.

Samples collected from cold systems would not give correct information as the contaminants and other insoluble suspended particles would be settled when at rest.

Dead zone fluids like standpipe, regenerative loops, etc. give wrong results as they possess different properties than that working fluids.

Subscribe to our website blog for more technical articles and case studies: Click here

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has some defined codes which are mostly used as the primary reviewed piece of data. Being consistent is important with sampling. It is not advisable to use different sampling methods. Let’s discuss certain must-follow sampling rules for oil analysis -

Collect samples from running machines not from cold machines or stand-by machines. It is always advisable to start the machine and take the sample and the time of sample should be when the machine is at its peak of stress.

What, when, who, where, and how should be defined for oil sampling procedures as well, just like maintenance procedures are defined in detail. Changing the sampling methods or location is not advisable.

Use a specific sample point based on the type of lubricant, pressure, and the fluid required.

A sample must be taken in a bottle of the correct size and cleanliness. To get more information on bottle cleanliness, ISO 3722 can be referred to.

Oil sampling is like examining the condition of the system for that point in time. It is advisable not to wait for more than 24 hours to send the samples for oil analysis. This is because the health of the system may change in a very short period. Early detection would help in early remedy.

Maintain proper frequency of taking samples. Don’t do it whenever you feel like doing it. There should be an appropriate frequency so that important maintenance decisions could be taken on time.

One of the major problems in oil sampling is cross-contamination. Don’t use dirty sampling equipment. Flushing is the solution to this which is often overlooked and the selection of suitable clear media is equally important.

Though every system has a unique consideration of sampling, the above-mentioned tips can be applied and taken care of for your sampling techniques/methods. Start applying it Today!!
