    Increasing "If" function formula

    I need to find ways in increasing the formulation of "if" function. "If" function can only accomodate 6 or 7 cells. Ex. =IF(Month="January",MTD!C206,IF(Month="February",MTD!D206,IF(Month="March",MTD!E206,IF(Month="April",MTD!F206,IF(Month="May",MTD!G206,IF(Month="June",MTD!H206)))))). I need to...

    Steam Modulating Valve for Bunker fuel heating

    Good day, Common firetube boilers such as of CleaverBrookes 800BHp,has a heat exchanger wherein fuel is heated by steam or an electric during startup. With regards to fuel heating by steam, it only has a solenoid valve to turn on steam when low temperature was sensed by a tnermostat, and turns...

    EvapCo Operation

    Dear All, How do we operate Evaporative Condenser? My colleages insists in operating all the circulating pumps of 5 evapCo units even though the a couple of Evapcos are on standby, meaning the fans aren't operating. They argue that scaling would occur if the tubes (ammonia inside) are allowed...

    Drewplex Marine Boiler Treatment

    countrynam, We are of same wavelength. They sold products in excess to what our boiler limits would have required. Moreover, we already use demineralized water to for out low pressure boiler (100 psig operating). Still problems were encountered.

    Optimum Suction Pressure for Ammonia Liquid Overfeed Refrigeration

    Dear All, Our brewery is maintaining Cylindroconical Tanks (CCT) temperature @ -1degC of the beer. Our current suction pressure was set at 30 psig, -8degC. I am investigating of increasing the suction pressure to 35 psig,-6degC in order to minimized power consumption of the compressor. Is...

    How Does Adsorption Works?

    Guys, Activated Carbon, Silica gel, and/or Molecular sieve are just some of the materials that adsorb compounds/chemicals which passes through it. Any idea how this works microscopically?

    Iron concentration of Boiler Water

    Can any body help me regarding our boiler water system. Iron concentration and low pH predominates our condensate from the heat exchangers. Any advise as to how we would be able to prevent it from happening. We have tried demineralized water and softened water already for make up. Still we...

    TDS measurement of the boiler

    Hey guys, A little help in here. I have read in a literature from spirax sarco that the conductivity of boiler water is dependent upon its temperature. I was so struck by this statement because our current practice for measuring the TDS of the boiler water is to get the sample from the...

    Recycling of water after Ion Exchanger Backwash

    I am planning to reuse the water recovery of backwash/fianl rinse as potable water. Meaning I will bring it back to the raw water storage tank for use the same as our raw water. Does this make any sense in terms of the safety of water, ie. drinking it? Thank you. gladkenn
