'Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment' is an overview of the main
types of rotating machinery in industry, and covers such aspects as
system dynamics, surge control, vibration and balancing, radial
bearing design, performance parameters, rotor system design and
operation, rotor axial (thrust) forces, performance objectives and
mechanical restraints, auxiliary systems and seals.
This book will enhance rotating equipment reliability and safety
throughout the many industries where such equipment is vital to a
successful business.
Over recent years there have been substantial changes in those
industries which are concerned with the design, purchase and use of
special purpose (ie critical, high-revenue) rotating equipment. Key
personnel have been the victims of early retirement or have moved
to other industries: contractors and end-users have reduced their
technical staff and consequently have to learn complex material
'from scratch'.
As a result, many companies are finding that they are devoting
unnecessary man hours to the discovery and explanation of basic
principles, and having to explain these to clients who should
already be aware of them. In addition, the lack of understanding by
contractors and users of equipment characteristics and operating
systems often results in a 'wrong fit' and a costly reliability
problem.
The stakes can be high, and it against this background that this
book has been published. It is the outcome of many years experience
and is based on well-honed teaching material which is easily
readable, understandable and actually enjoyable!
This is a five volume set. The volumes are:
1. Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment
2. Pumps
3.Compressors
4. Auxiliary Systems
5. Reliability Optimization thru Component Condition Monitoring and
Root Cause Analysis
* A distillation of many years of on-site training by a well-known
US Engineer who also operates in the Middle East.
* A Practical book written in a succinct style and well illustrated
throughout.
* An overview of the main types of rotating machinery in industry.
