    Steam Blow into Condenser

    In my past job I was a field service engineer for a HRSG company who recommended continuous steam blows. We had a large plant where the customer almost elected to do a steam blow into the condenser because of the difficulty and cost of water, but at the last minute they changed their mind and...

    Any Oil and Gas Casualties so far?

    Not Oil & Gas, but my previous company in the power industry had many layoffs late last year. Many also left on their own and were not replaced.

    STEAM BLOWING

    There are several websites (including this one) out there that provide a lot of information on this very topic. I typed "Steam blow calculation" into Google and found a lot of good information. I suggest you review that and if you have specific questions.

    Data Validation

    Skip, That works exactly how I wanted it. Does that code become part of this spreadsheet? I.e. if I send it to my colleagues, will the ClearContents work for them or do they need to do that VBA code? Thanks, Macmet

    Data Validation

    Wow, I cannot believe this been a month. But I am back using the sheet again. I am using the Indirect function in my dependent pull down menu. For example I have my first pulldown menu in C9 with the reference to my TASKS list. The second pull down menu is in E9 I have, =INDIRECT($C$9)...

    Steam Escaping from Drip Pan Elbow Gap

    I agree with Duwe6. For proper function of the vent pipe, there needs to be a venturi effect that can help suck the steam up and outside. Because of your lengths, that may be a problem for you, but I would not recommend wrapping around the gap. "

    Data Validation

    Data Validation

    Hello Everyone, I am fairly new to using drop down menus in Excel, but I have managed to get a few working and have them linked so the drop down menu is dependent on an initial selection. For example, you can see the webpage here I am using to make the conditional lists.... ->...

    Pumpable Refractory/Insulation

    Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you. I would be curious to see this "hand pump". A few people have told me it can be done but no one can show me a picture or direct me to a proper one. Thanks again

    Pumpable Refractory/Insulation

    Hello Everyone, I had a recent assignment where we were looking at installing pumpable insulation into a casing due to hot spots. We were looking at Kaowool type HS pumpable. The product spec sheet recommends installation with an extrusion pump. Our vendor offers these pumps for rent, but...

    Moving to Canada as Electrical Engineer - Entry Level

    It may be wise to go straight for a Master's. When I was in school there were many foreign grad students. If you like Vancouver, they have a very nice school there, UBC. I think the complaints by Canadians is all relative. I suppose we have been lucky, the brain drain here is different. I...

    Moving to Canada as Electrical Engineer - Entry Level

    I might also suggest that you look into obtaining all the requirements necessary to get your P.Eng status once you move here. Each province in Canada is different, so I can only speak for my own, but in Ontario only degrees from some countries are automatically considered to meet the...

    Moving to Canada as Electrical Engineer - Entry Level

    I live in Canada and do not think it is a great time to be moving to Alberta. The province was booming for a number of years, but no longer. I have worked with some controls groups in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, but also in Ontario and Nova Scotia. So although you might have better odds looking...
