Town problems Generator Basic safety Caution

-

The city's Fireplace Marshal Business office along with the Office of Civil Preparedness is warning homeowners to use moveable electricity generators carefully.

"Don't get me wrong. Generators are excellent, but they're fantastic if they're utilized properly," mentioned Paul Estefan, director of Civil Preparedness in Danbury.

Estefan and James Johnson, Danbury's fireplace marshal, said those who have power outages due to Hurricane Irene Sunday could resort to portable generators. For the flyer on generator safety, go to this website, look at news, and with the 8/25/11 date, click on moveable generator security.

"Don't put the generator in a garage," Estefan explained. "Leave it exterior."

The generators melt away fuel to make electric power, as well as that leads to a couple of hazards in a garage. Carbon monoxide is given off by burning the fuel, along with the generator has a fuel tank, which is a fire hazard.

Will not plug the generator into an outlet, Estefan explained, since that could lead to electrocution. Plug from the refrigerator which has a heavy-duty outside extension cord. A single cord, direct through the generator for the refrigerator, is what you need, Estefan explained.

Gears Gears are Power transmission elements. It is the Gears that decides the torque, speed and direction of rotation of all the driven machine elements. Broadly speaking, Gear types may be grouped into five major categories. They are Spur, Helical, Bevel, Hypoid, and Worm. A lot of intricacies are there in the different types of gears. Actually The choice of gear type is not a very easy process. It is dependent on a number of considerations. Factors that go into it are physical space and shaft arrangement, gear ratio, load, accuracy and quality level. Types of Gears Types of Gears A number of gears are manufactured using different materials and with different performance specifications depending on the industrial application. These gears are available in a range of capacities, sizes and speed ratios, but the main function is to convert the input of a prime mover into an output with high

  in the previous sections we had discuss : Classification of Internal Combustion Engines and Engine Components (Course) Internal Combustion Engines Components 2 (Course)   In This  section we will discuss : -Describe and explain the operation of a typical cooling system for an industrial ICE. -Describe and explain the operation of a typical lubrication system for an industrial ICE. SECTION 3 Objective 7 Describe and explain the operation of a typical cooling system for an industrial ICE. ENGINE COOLING Small internal combustion engines are often air-cooled. Each cylinder or motor block is equipped with many thin fins creating an extensive cooling surface. This has the advantages of being simple and cheap, but the disadvantage of lack of control of the engine temperature because the cooling efficiency depends on the weather conditions. For high compression diesel engines, the combustion temperature can exceed 2000°C, and only 30 - 35% of the heat is converte

in the previous section we had discuss : Classification of Internal Combustion Engines and Engine Components (Course)     that  we had discussed in : -Classification of Internal Combustion Engines -Internal Combustion Engine Components     lets begin our section which we will discuss : -Describe individual pump, distributor, and common rail fuel injection systems for a diesel engine. -Explain the purpose and describe the operation of superchargers and turbochargers - Describe the cooling systems, function operation, inspection, and service.       SECTION 2 Objective 3 Describe individual pump, distributor, and common rail fuel injection systems for a diesel engine. THE FUEL INJECTOR The diesel engine, unlike some gasoline engines, does not use a carburetor to mix the fuel and air nor does it use a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture. Instead, the diesel uses an injection system to spray the fuel into the engine cylinder. The fuel must enter against the pressure of the
