‘Turbine Blades’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing from
Freudenberg Simrit LP, which we summarised at the time by saying "Simrit has developed a radial-shaft seal system featuring a leakage sensor that allows for telediagnosis of the shaft seal and automatically sends a signal when the seal's wear limit is reached. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Softinway course covers turbomachinery design from
Softinway: "Softinway is offering an intensive course on turbomachinery design that will take place in Singapore on 15-19 December. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management
- take a look at Emerson installs controls at Korean plants
which says: "Emerson Process Management has been selected by Korea Southern East Power Company (KOSEP) to install its Ovation expert control system at two power generation facilities in Korea. ".
Take a look also at the news release from NEi Software, NEi adds explicit dynamics to simulation software,
as well as SKF systems boost uptime of Isis neutron choppers from SKF UK,
and Resin is tough enough for ice hockey stick from Huntsman Advanced Materials.
