Working Of Hydraulic Press

Forging Presses for Smithing work are usually of the hydraulic type. The principle of a typical forging press. The water passes first from a large capacity tank to pump and then is delivered on the press with an aid of an accumulator and distributor at 200 to 300 Kg-f per cm2 (19,600 to 28,600 kN/m2). The accumulated water pressure flows into an main cylinder and presses on the top of the large piston. Since the cross-sectional area of the piston in the main material is large, the press ram is forced down upon the material to be forged which lies on the anvil with a high total into its initial position of  the action of the working fluid on the piston rods in the pull back cylinder.  

To perform the motion, a relatively lower water pressure, but a large volume of water per unit of time is required to accelerate the return stroke. 

Hydraulic Press forging

In press forging, pressure or squeeze is applied to the raw material and the intensity of this pressure increases as the plastic metal resists deformation. Due to the great pressure available these presses can be made to have very large capacities ranging from 300*10^3 to 1000 * 10^3 or 15000 * 10^3 kg.

THROTTLE GOVERNING OF STEAM TURBINES

Steam Pressure at inlet to a steam turbine is reduced by throttling process to maintain the speed of the  turbine constant at part load and hence this method of governing is called "Throttle Governing".  Construction : Throttle governing system consists of  a centrifugal governor, a lever , an oil pump , a pilot piston , control valve , a relay piston and a throttle valve. The throttle valve is moved by a relay piston. The relay piston is actuated by pilot piston control valve. There are two piston valves covering ports in the pilot piston control valve without any overlap. These piston valves are operated by lubricating oil supplied by a gear pump at 2 to 4 bar. The oil returns to the drain from this chamber.  Working : When the turbine works on full rated load, the throttle valve will remain open. When the load is decreased, the energy output of the turbine becomes in excess and the turbine shaft speed increases. Hence, governor sleeve will lift. The upward movement of the

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of  detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of  a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of  the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of  electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a  roll. The object to be checked is place

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

 Advantages Of  Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of  Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content.
