Rotating Machinery

-


 Rotating machinery refers to mechanical devices or equipment that use rotational motion as part of their primary function. Common types include turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, and engines, all of which convert energy into rotational motion or use it to perform work. Here are some key aspects and components related to rotating machinery:

  1. Rotors: Central to most rotating machinery, rotors are the rotating parts within the device. They carry blades or vanes and are subject to various forces, including centrifugal force, which impacts the design and materials used.

  2. Bearings: These support and facilitate the smooth rotation of the rotor by minimizing friction. Bearings can be roller, ball, or fluid-based and are critical for ensuring efficiency and longevity in machinery.

  3. Shafts: The shaft transmits mechanical power from the rotating part to other parts of the machine or to external systems. It is often designed to handle high stresses and must be aligned carefully to avoid imbalances.

  4. Balance and Alignment: Proper balance prevents vibration and wear, which can lead to failure. Dynamic and static balancing are used to ensure even weight distribution. Alignment of shafts is essential to prevent misalignment, which can cause excessive wear on bearings and other components.

  5. Lubrication: Lubricants, such as oil or grease, reduce friction and wear on bearings and other moving parts, helping to extend the machinery’s operational life and efficiency.

  6. Vibration Monitoring: Rotating machinery can develop vibrations due to misalignment, imbalance, or wear. Vibration monitoring and analysis help detect issues early to prevent severe damage.

  7. Casing and Housing: This encases the moving parts and protects operators while also keeping out contaminants. In pumps, the casing is specifically designed to direct the fluid flow efficiently.

  8. Seals: Seals prevent leakage of fluids, whether liquid or gas, from the machinery. This is especially crucial in pumps, compressors, and turbines to maintain efficiency and safety.

  9. Cooling Systems: Cooling prevents overheating in rotating machinery, especially in high-speed applications. Common cooling methods include water cooling, oil cooling, and air cooling.

  10. Efficiency and Maintenance: Rotating machinery is designed for high efficiency, often requiring regular maintenance to ensure performance. Preventive maintenance includes lubrication, alignment checks, bearing inspections, and replacement of worn parts.

Rotating machinery is integral to various industries, including energy, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and chemical processing, and requires precise engineering to ensure reliability and efficiency.

Quantum sensors for GPS-free orientation

Image
Quantum sensors for GPS-free orientation Along each of the three axes of measurement, a mechanical accelerometer is attached to the reference mirror of the atom interferometer, resulting in a classic/quantum hybridization that permits continuous measurement of acceleration with ultralow bias. Measurements of the three vector components are used to determine the acceleration vector, in any direction. The sensor is secured to a rotatable platform for demonstrating measurements from various angles. Credit: iXAtom How can we navigate airliners or allow military vehicles to stay on course without GPS or satellite signals? This is a problem for which quantum inertial sensors offer a solution. Harnessing quantum technology, they can take ultrasensitive measurements of acceleration in three dimensions, and in any orientation. 1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  h...

Image Sensors

Contact Image Sensors (CIS) has a line of image sensors across the field of view. It also includes a GRIN lens (Rod Lens) for 1:1 image quality and LED illumination. Comparing to conventional line scan camera systems, a CIS has improved image quality with reduced distortion, all in a compact design with up to 600dpi resolution.   An   image sensor   or   imager   is a   sensor   that detects and conveys information used to form an   image . It does so by converting the variable   attenuation   of light   waves   (as they   pass through   or   reflect off   objects) into   signals , small bursts of   current   that convey the information. The waves can be light or other   electromagnetic radiation . Image sensors are used in   electronic   imaging devices of both   analog   and   digital   types, which include   digital cameras ,   camera modules , ...

Infection prevention and control lapses

Infection prevention and control lapses An Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) lapse is a departure from infection prevention and control standards that could result in infectious disease transmission through exposure to blood or bodily fluids. IPAC lapses can occur at routinely inspected personal service settings (e.g., nail salons, tattoo, or piercing studios) and settings not routinely inspected by public health including regulated health professional settings (e.g., Physician or nurse practitioner, dental, or physiotherapy clinics). IPAC lapses are disclosed to the public in accordance with the provincial Infection Prevention and Control Complaint Disclosure Protocol. KFL&A Public Health reports on premises where an infection prevention and control lapse was identified through the assessment of a complaint or referral, or through communicable disease surveillance. It does not include reports of premises which were investigated following a complaint or referral where no in...
