  1. Case Study - Claxton Poultry 12/28/2007
    Large amounts of water are used by poultry processors to maintain a sanitary work environment. This water evaporates and condenses on ceiling, walls and equipment within processing areas
  2. Application Note: Poultry Processing 12/28/2007
    Poultry processing facilities strive to maintain an extremely clean processing environment. To accomplish this thousands of gallons of water are sprayed on a daily basis. Temperatures are maintained at approximately 50°F to prevent microbial growth

  6. Fluid Analysis — A Preventive Maintenance Tool 6/25/2007
    There are two steps to the thermal-fluid analysis process. The first is observational, the second is analytical
  7. Proper Hot Oil System Startup 6/25/2007
    In last month's TipSheet we discussed the importance of proper shutdown procedures for thermal fluid systems. However, significant damage to fluids -- and equipment – can also occur if the system is started improperly
  8. How To Minimize Thermal Fluid Leakage 6/25/2007
    Hot metal increases in length (and diameter). Bolts stretch. Piping runs increase up to 4" per 100' of length. Hot fluid is also much thinner than cold (thinner than water above 400°F)
  9. How To Minimize Contamination Of Heat Transfer Fluid Systems 6/25/2007
    Contamination of thermal fluid systems is always self-inflicted. It happens when a fluid with poor thermal stability (hydraulic fluid and glycol solutions are prime suspects since they are often stored in drums in the same area) is added by mistake
  10. Water In Thermal Fluid Systems -- Part 2 of 3 -- Removal 6/25/2007
    There are laboratory procedures that can measure water in thermal fluids. However, such lab tests are really only useful for fluid that hasn't been charged into the system. Water in a running hot-oil system is relatively easy to detect
