Summary of Chapter 3..

3.1 Mechanical Equipment

 Static and Rotating Equipment


 vessel, reactor, boiler, cooling tower
 Pump, compressor, turbine

3.2 Static Equipment

 Comply with FMA Regulation (CF Requirement).


 Load Test, hydrostatic test, pop test

3.3 Rotating Equipment

 Moving part and its operating condition (pressure, noise, vibration, lubrication,
mechanical seal, belting, roller, alignment, cooling system).
 Efficiency of the equipment.

3.4 Vessel

 Normally store liquid chemical.


 Include pressure vessel.
 Should have a strength of stress and strain especially at welding part.

3.5 Reactor

 Equipment for reaction take part and to produce the product

3.6 Boilers

 fuel-burning appliances that produce either hot water or steam that gets
circulated through piping for heating or process uses.
 Proper maintenance and operation of boilers systems is important with regard
to efficiency and reliability.
 Three types of boiler which are water tube, fire tube and electric
3.7 Cooling Tower

 a specialized heat exchanger in which two fluids (air and water) are brought
into direct contact with each other to affect the transfer of heat.
 In a “spray-filled” tower, this is accomplished by spraying a flowing mass of
water into a rain-like pattern, through which an upward moving mass flow of
cool air is induced by the action of a fan

3.8 Pump

 to transfer liquid form one location to another


 pump casing provides a pressure boundary for the pump and contains
channels to properly direct the suction and discharge flow.

3.9 Compressors

 It runs tools and machinery, provides power for material handling systems,
and ensures clean, breathable air in contaminated environments.

3.10 Turbine

 Equipment that used to move other equipment such as blower, pump,


compressors
 Scheduled maintenance inspections are necessary for safe and efficient
turbine operation.
 Actual intervals between inspections cannot be specified rigorously because
maintenance scheduling is dependent on factors best known by those directly
involved with the turbine and its particular application.
