Routine maintenance is critical for rotating equipment and makes economic sense. For most pump applications, running a pump to failure leads to expensive repairs that require more time at the repair shop. If the pump service is critical, like a boiler feed pump, the failed pump may leave the plant at risk for reduced production or complete shutdown. Read more.
The demand for electricity is increasing due to the growing population and the electrification of motor vehicles and home heating. Renewable energy is a growing share of the power generation pie, accounting for about 22% of all U.S. production in 2022, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Read on for an overview of common technologies found in combined cycle power plants.
Rotordynamic characteristics of machines depend on their journal bearings. Plain fixed-profile journal bearings are susceptible to damage from misalignment, imbalance or wear. There are several tilt-pad options available today that vastly improve machine performance. Kingsbury's new Journal Bearing catalog covers the benefits and applications of three tilt-pad technologies to help you decide which is right for your applications. Learn more.
