FAQ

I was offered a job in the same general posistion for a YOUNG company that has offered me 15.00 more a hour, lead position, training in a differnt brand of the same product I work on and, basicly the freedom to choose my own hours (avg. 40-55 hrs). Or do I stay where I am at were I have some stabability, lead position, unstable hours (avg. 40-65 hrs plus nights away from home/family), possabilities of advancment and, a since of loyalty to bosses. Note: I worked hard to get where I am at, however, my current knowledge is the bases for new job. WHAT DO I DO????????????
I could be wrong, but it depends on how many years you've been working there and how many people depend on your steady paycheck. I don't know the industry your working in, but it's possible that those hours could be the norm for a person in your present position. Sometimes, casual promises, of better pay or hours are worth what you pay for them and are not a guarantee. If you aren't having trouble communicating with your boss, have a talk, tell him how you feel about it. He might surprize you!. Good Luck!
I have a (2306A-E14TAG3) PERKINS diesel engine electric generator, every two hours it turns off by itself. The generator room is well ventilated, opened from all sides, while the exhaust is free for atmosphere without any extensions from the muffler.- 66% used as part load.- Note that this generator is a new generator. ambient temperature is almost 30 degrees celcius, humidity65%.Please help me with this issue, because every two hourse i used to cool the radiator from outside by water! I appreciate your help
REASONS FOR PERKINS GENERATORS TO SHUT DOWN (according to Ehow): 1. Not putting out correct voltage (too high or too low). 2. Wrong frequency 3. Wrong speed 4. Wrong oil pressure (too high or too low). ///////// Other sources of failure: High current, battery won't charge, speed sensor not working,
Diesel Tank for a generator set
The tank shall be a steel tank, for a generator set usually it is very simple, use steel galvanized sheets of 3 to 4 mm thick and must be welded joints
If the electrical grid fails and takes years to re-establish, how will the plants cool down?
If they are shut down and there is no grid power, then they would use diesel generators to run the cooling systems, the generator would need refueling every eight hours. If they are operational, they produce more than enough power for the cooling system. A conventional nuclear power plant is at it's most dangerous when shut down which is ironic since most safety protocols demanded of them requires shutting them down whenever there is a slight risk such as what happened at Fukishima, had Fukishima been left on, there would not have been a problem. You could bet that even if the entire grid may take years to rebuild, the nuclear power plants, hospitals and even grocery stores would have priority and would have power very quickly, a grid doesn't have to be completely repaired for portions of it to work. Solar storms are really not a civilization ending threat, merely an inconvenience as it might take some time for the entire grid to be operational again but that does not mean portions of it wouldn't be operational sooner as in days. Of course, conventional solid fuel rod nuclear technology were developed for expediency in producing weapons grade plutonium and the proprietary fuel rods allowed the manufacturers to direct the economic benefits to themselves much as printer manufacturers do with inkjet cartridges. A competing technology called liquid flouride thorium reactors could not melt down, could not explode, could not leak, shuts down safely if cooling power is lost, stays shutdown safely without power, and consumes existing nuclear waste reducing the nuclear wastes to a small amount that only needs to be stored for 350 years instead of the current 30,000 years. The military had no need for it, the government didn't want it because it did not employ an army of technicians, the reactor manufacturers didn't want it as it did not have proprietary nuclear fuel rods.
I am looking to run a 1200watt electrical generator using Hydrogen gas versus using Gasoline, Propane or Diesel. If anyone knows even where I can start looking towards steps or plans for something like this?
Use hydrogen as fuel in turbine, Many modification are required to control the fuelinjection and combustion.
How to calculate fuel average consumption hours/liter?
that's not how fuel consumption is measured, unless you were to drive at the same speed for an hour. It is measured in MILES or KM per liter. That way you just fill your gas tank, pay attention to how much is in it, look at your odometer, and see how many miles until your tank runs out. Then divide number of miles by liters in your tank.
I want to build a diesel engine driven generator. The type of gen I have is asynchron, 400/690 V, 7,5 kW, 9,4 kVA and I was told that I need to stimulate it with capacitors (the unit is supposed to work without connection to a public netstand-aloneisland-service). Who can give me instructions how to do the el. part, size/type of capacitors etc?
Because it lacks a separate field circuit, an induction generator cannot produce reactive power. In fact, it consumes reactive power, and an external source of reactive power must be connected to it at all times [1]. So you are right that you will need a three-phase capacitor bank at the output terminals (delta-connected). How to size the capacitors? That depends on a few things. Namely what kind of loads are going to be attached to it. I presume this is going to be an emergency generator operating alone (most induction generators are used this way nowadays). In that case, your capacitor bank will need to account for the generator consuming reactive power and the loads consuming reactive power. So, if you know what you are going to connect to the generator, figure up an estimate of the total reactive power of your loads. Then estimate how much reactive power your generator consumes (not sure how to do this; maybe estimate from your 7.5kW and 9.4kVA ratings?). Finally, to size your capacitors equate the total power consumed by gen and loads to this formula: estimated_3phase_power_consumed 3*(line-to-line_volt)^2/X where X 1/(2*pi*freq*C) Solve for C and there you go. My source indicates that the output voltage for an induction generator can vary quite a bit with varying inductive load, so bear that in mind and maybe oversize the caps a bit. Also, the types of capacitors should be able to withstand AC obviously and be rated within your expected operating temp, etc, etc. Good luck.
Im building a new house, and I would like to go totally off the grid in South-Central Oklahoma.Id like to be able to run the tv, freezer, refrigerator, and minimal lights and water well.Im looking for information on a complete system.Any ideas/? Im looking for the pros and cons of this way of life from homeowners that have actually done this.
My grandfather put 2 inches of foam board around his freezer, except for the coils- hardly goes on at all. Anything to reduce power useage is good.
