I have developed a number of applications using the GE-Fanuc series 90-70 PLC's. These have been working well for some time. But a possible client has asked if I can provide one application on the latest series PAC RX7i controller.
Has anybody experience of converting applications to the new...
I work for a stationary power plant that uses slow speed deisel (Sulzer RNF and RTA series) engines. At present in my location there is no specific environmental legislation in place in respect of emissions from the power plant, but this is currently under review.
Should legislation be...
We recently encountered a new and interesting failure on a Sulzer 9RTA-58 engine. The initial symptom was surging of the turbocharger, requiring an investigatory strip down.
What we found was some quite severe damage to the nozzle ring and some blade tip damage on the tubine itself. We also...
I was talking recently to a power utility in a developing country, who have built up a major problem with sludge oil residue from burning heavy fuel oil in slow speed diesel engines. Without anything else to do with the stuff, they've simply stored it up in a bulk fuel tank.

I operate a land based power station using slow speed marine diesel engines operating on heavy fuel oil (3500sec Redwood). We have about 11,000 tonnes of storage in steam heated tanks of capacity 1000 - 4500 tonnes. Historically, we have maintained the tank temperatures at about 50 degC...
Not strictly electrical, but power related !!
Can anybody tell me how to calculate CO2 emissions (in tonnes) from a diesel operated power station. I know the fuel consumption, in tonnes, and the basic specification of the fuel. The fuel is marine class heavy fuel oil 3500cSt, and I know density...
Is is possible to scale text based objects (e.g. labels) as a form is resized. You know how with MS-Word you can select a "zoom ratio" which retains the same nominal text size, but makes the text larger/smaller depending on the ratio selected.
I know that I can adjust the font size...
