Optimize plant asset safety and reliability while minimizing operating costs with this invaluable guide to the engineering, operation and maintenance of rotating equipment Based upon his multi-volume Rotating Equipment Handbooks, Forsthoffer s Best Practice Handbook for Rotating Machinery summarises, expands and updates the content from these previous books in a convenient all-in-one volume. Offering comprehensive technical coverage and insider information on best practices derived from lessons learned in the engineering, operation and maintenance of a wide array of rotating equipment, this new title presents: A unique "Best Practice" and "Lessons Learned" chapter framework, providing bite-sized, troubleshooting instruction on complex operation and maintenance issues across a wide array of industrial rotating machinery. Five chapters of completely new material combined with updated material from earlier volumes, making this the most comprehensive and up-to-date handbook for rotary equipment currently available. Intended for maintenance, engineering, operation and management, Forsthoffer s Best Practice Handbook for Rotating Machinery is a one-stop resource, packed with a lifetime s rotating machinery experience, to help you improve efficiency, safety, reliability and cost.
Forsthoffer's Proven Guidelines for Rotating Machinery Excellence draws on Forsthoffer's 60 years of industry experience to get new operatives up to speed fast. Each of the topics covered are selected based on hard-won knowledge of where problems with rotating machinery originate. This easy to use, highly-illustrated book is designed to elevate the competence of entry level personnel to enable them to immediately contribute to providing optimum rotating machinery reliability for their companies. The first 3 chapters address practical personal rotating machinery awareness, detail how to optimize this awareness to identify "low hanging fruit" safety and reliability improvement opportunities and how to define and implement a cost-effective action plan. The remaining chapters focus on the function of key components in each type of rotating machinery and how to monitor and correct their condition before failure. The last chapter is an RCA (Root Cause Analysis) procedure chapter detailing effective Root Cause Identification before a Failure to prevent a costly failure and the need for a RCFA.
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.

'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.

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
