Bedded In Method Of Mold Casting And Its Process

 If the upper surface of the casting is not flat or  must be smoother than the rough surfaces produced by open-sand molds, a solid pattern can also be molded by using a technique known as "bedded In", in which a sand cover or cope is necessary.

In bedded-In method, the pattern is pressed or hammered down to bed it into the sand of the foundry floor or in a drag partially filled with sand to form the mold cavity. To ensure that the sand is properly compacted, careful ramming of the sand close to the pattern is necessary. As a check , the pattern can be drawn and the mold cavity surface tested for soft spots. All soft spots should be filled in with extra sand and the pattern again pressed downward until properly rammed mold cavity is obtained. 

After the joint has been smoothed , and parting sand spread , a cope is placed over the pattern. The cope is rammed up, runners and risers cut , and the cope box lifted, leaving the solid pattern in the floor or in the drag as the case may be. The pattern is drawn out, and the surfaces of both parts of the mold finished and the cope box replaced in its correct position to complete the mold.

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.

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 objec...

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...
