Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As in the preceding three textbooks of this series, the authors take us through principles of installation and general operating issues to the main topic of interest: how to install and repair such machines as horizontal and vertical pumps, reciprocating and liquid ring vacuum pumps, blowers, reciprocating gas engines and associated compressors. The second part of this very readable and well-illustrated text takes us to maintenance issues involving such equipment as industrial gearing, belt-drives, steam turbines, turboexpanders, gas turbines, and hydraulic governors, to the maintenance of electric motors and associated apparatus. Part three deals with storage protection and gives cost-saving hints on grease lubricated bearings as well as lubrication management in general. Also touched on is vibration and condition monitoring--a fine overview of profit-driven practices. The book closes with solid information on the maintainability, serviceability, and availability of machinery. When is the next book coming?

This updated edition is an invaluable source of practical cost-effective maintenance, repair, installation, and field verification procedures for machinery engineers. It is filled with step-by-step instructions and quick-reference checklists that describe preventive and predictive maintenance for major process units such as vertical, horizontal, reciprocating, and liquid ring vacuum pumps, fans and blowers, compressors, turboexpanders, turbines, and more. Also included are sections on machinery protection, storage, lubrication, and periodic monitoring. A new section examines centrifugal pumps and explains how and why they continue to fail. More new information focuses on maintenance for aircraft derivative gas turbines. This revised edition gives special attention throughout to maintenance and repair procedures needed to ensure efficiency, performance, and long life.
