A rigid mounting method has further disadvantages: The rotor cannot oscillate freely and the existing minimum residual imbalance can lead to possible bearing failure and rotor damage over time.

In principle, industrial vacuum pumps are merely compressors run with the inlet attached to the vacuum system and the outlet open to exhaust. In smaller sizes, compressors and vacuum pumps are often ...

Single-stage and multi-stage vacuum pumps have been around for quite some time, but some designers and engineers remain unsure about when to use one versus the other. For example, which pump is best ...

State-owned Korea Midland Power Co. (KOMIPO) operates the Shin Boryeong Thermal Power Plant (TPP), a two-unit, 2,000-MW ultrasupercritical bituminous-coal-fired power plant. Shin Boryeong TPP is an ...

MEMS and motor control are two things we cover and small vacuum pumps are often controlled by micros so it made sense to talk with Dr. Wei Yang about Honeywell’s latest technology breakthrough, a tiny ...

Any time the internal piping or components of a refrigeration system are exposed to atmospheric air, they must be completely evacuated before refrigerant can be added into the system. Proper ...
