Boiler blowdown

 


  1. Close the water and steam cocks on the gauge glass and open the drain.
  2. Then open the steam cock-a strong jet if steam should be seen from the drain.
  3. Close the steam cock.
  4. Open the water cock-a strong jet of water should be observed from the drain.
  5. Close the water cock and then close the drain.
  6. Then open the water cock, the water will rise in the gauge above the normal level.
  7. Then open the stem cock, the water should then settle down, finding its correct level.

Piston ring clearances

Image
 We have three types of clearance for piston rings. Butt clearance.  Axial clearance. Back clearance or radial clearance. 1. Butt clearance : * Is also known as ring end clearance or gap clearance.  * It is the distance between connecting faces of piston ring. ( or clearance between the end butt of the ring inside the liner.) * This clearance should be within the limits specified by the engine manufacturer. * The ring expands when the engine is hot. If the clearance is less than the minimum limit, ends touch due to this thermal expansion. * The ring expands against the liner. This increases the friction resulting in breakage of ring and Seizure of piston. * If the clearance is greater than the maximum limit, combustion gases blow by the rings and exhaust gases enter the crankcase. * This results in loss of compression pressure in the cylinder. * To measure butt clearance, insert the rings in the bottom of the liner and ensure that they are in line with the liner axis. * ...
