Engine hunting, which is essentially an oscillation in engine speed, happens almost always as a result of one of the following two factors: either the use of an improperly configured governor for the given application or Woodward governor components which have gotten out of alignment. While speed control may be all about having the right […]

Comap Smart Control: Automating Multi-Genset Paralleling
Operating two generators in parallel is a coordination task. Operating ten or thirty generators in parallel is a coordination task that human operators simply cannot achieve through manual operation with any accuracy. This is precisely the problem that ComAp smart control systems are designed to solve. The automation of the process of coordination, load sharing […]
How Electrical Parts Impact Industrial Efficiency
A couple of ohms of superfluous resistance in a wiring joint may not seem like much, but add up those inefficient few ohms over several years of operation, during which the plant has numerous sensors, control circuits, and starter systems, and you will see how real that expense is. Industrial electrical equipment does not simply […]
Why High-Quality Electrical Components Matter for Industrial Reliability
Engine knock occurring Tuesday afternoon does not begin Tuesday. Usually, it occurs weeks ago, with a marginal sensor providing somewhat faulty information to the control system, or the ignition element being fired slightly out of sync with one of the cylinders. Sourcing electrical components from a specialist electrical components manufacturer rather than considering ignition modules, […]
Top Compressor Components Every Industry Needs
The reliability of a reciprocating compressor depends upon its weakest wear part, and in the case of gas compressors, that particular part is always a few predictable components: valves, rod packing, piston rings, or even the piston rod. It is all about knowing which are the fastest wearing industrial compressor parts, their functions inside the […]
