Vibration Problems in Process Units
Problem Definition Vibration problems in process units are a common concern in industrial building structures that house dynamic equipment such as pumps, compressors, agitated reactors/tanks, centrifugal separators, thin-film evaporators, and coke drums. These vibrations can reach significant amplitudes, sometimes even visible to the naked eye, potentially causing structural damage and affecting operational efficiency. To correct […]
STRESS ANALYSIS OF PIPES WITH RATIO D / t> 100
On certain occasions, during the development of projects where large diameter pipes are involved, scenarios arise in which the diameter (D) / thickness (t) ratio is higher than 100. It is common to find this situation in systems with large diameter pipes that work at low pressure, in which the calculated thickness due to the […]
CADE at UCLM Engineering Thermodynamics Congress
More than 160 experts meet at this Congress in Spain to improve teaching and researching techniques at different fields in which Engineering Thermodynamics plays an important role.
LEVEL C inspections in Spanish CSP Plants, are they ready?
Most of concentrated solar plants installed in Spain are currently immersed on “suffering” level C inspections on their equipment and pressure elements.
Solar Process Steam Generation System: EDITOR Workshop June 2019
The presentation of a cost-effective and high performance concentrating solar thermal system (EDITOR) with concrete storage for process heat generation (Solid-TES) will take place in Cyrpus on 18th June 2019.
InCycle – Power Cycle Analysis Methodology. CADE obtains support of Innova-Adelante Program of JCCM
CADE has obtained the support of JCCM (Castilla-La Mancha Community Council by its Spanish acronym) to ease power cycle analysis and global optimization in thermosolar power plants. Among other initiatives, this project was selected to be included in the Innova-Adelante Program of JCCM.
