Top Five Signs of a Leaky Refrigeration Compressor Valve

Leaky refrigeration compressor valves, and the resulting lowered levels of refrigerant, can cause your compressor to overheat up to ten degrees higher than its rated capacity. This leads to a drop in efficiency in cooling functionality, leading to lost inventory through product decay and spoil, and a reduction in productivity and income. To keep your…

The Role of Lantern Rings in a Pump System

There are a number of parts that keep pump systems operating efficiently. One of the most important, yet overlooked pieces is the lantern ring. The lantern ring rests between two packing sets, keeping lubrication in place and away from other vital pump parts. Lantern rings provide the necessary separation between essential pieces in the pump…

The Basics of Spring Coiling

While most springs are manufactured using a similar coiling technique, the shape of the coil can create an entirely different type of spring. When a spring is manufactured, precise measurements are taken and prototypes are constructed to ensure the coil provides the right amount of compression and deflection. Besides the linear coiled compression spring, other…
