HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS FAILURE AND TROUBLESHOOTING SKILLS

What are hydraulic systems?
Hydraulic systems are systems that uses the hydraulic pump,hydraulic oil, and hydraulic actuators for lifting operations. Examples are lifts, forklifts. However, hydraulic failure do occur during operations. So, from experience it is adviceable not to stay under hydraulic system during operation. Hydraulic failures occur due to the following:
-Poor maintenance strategies
-Aging of the equipment
For any hydraulic failure encountered, Here are troubleshooting Skills to carry out:
-Check for hydraulic leakages
-Check if hydraulic pump is in good working condition
if leakages is suspected,tighting the pipe connections with a thread tape
-Air bleed the system
I hope this helps.....

Scheduled maintenance of a reciprocating type of air compressor

Due to the advancement in technology,many industries uses compressed air in production systems and machines to run the system effectively without much stress. The reciprocating type of air compressor helps in getting the desired compressed air and supplies the compressed air to where it is needeed via intake and discharge valves. A good preventive maintenance scheduling however is carried out to make sure effective system performance and reliability is attained. Here are preventive maintenance scheduling carried out on the compressor every week:
-Check the lubricant(oil) level
-Check for excessive leakage and for scoring on piston rod
-Check for wears on the cylinder walls
-Check piston for wear
-Check for blockages of the inlet and discharge valves.

How to be a good troubleshooter of a simple vapour compression Air conditioning systems

To be a good troubleshooter in general requires technical skills and basic principles in order to solve a problem encountered. For a simple vapour compression air conditioning systems that uses R-12 type of refrigerant. Here are troubleshooting skills to do whenever an issue occurred:
-Check for leakages of the refrigerant using a soap solution test
-Check for tight pipe connections.
If compressor makes too much noise:
-Lubricate the compressor with oil
-Check electrical connections
-Check electrical connections of the compressor and link it to the capacitor in case of partial contact.
If ice is formed on the condenser/evaporator fins
-Check the pressure of the refrigerant using a pressure manifold gauge.
