Overcoming the Challenges of Owning and Maintaining Instruments that are No Longer Serviced by the Manufacturer or Trusted Calibration Provider
by Jessica Drinnon Whether the instrument has been in service for many years or you just managed to purchase a gently used or refurbished instrument, considerable complications arise when you are notified that the manufacturer or calibration...
Characterization of Elliptical Pitot Tube for Water Flow Measurements (TP24-03)
ABSTRACT In 2018, CTI switched from simplex pitot tubes to an elliptical style pitot tubes for water flow measurements. This change was made to reduce the impact of change in Reynolds number on the calibration coefficient of the pitot tube....
A Real-Time Output-Loss Method for Monitoring Heat Rate for Coal-Fired Power Plants
ABSTRACT This paper describes a real-time performance monitoring method based on PTC 4-2013 for determining instantaneous heat rate for coal-fired power plants. The calculation protocol uses a modified output-loss approach applied to a control...
A Modified F-Factor Approach for Real-Time Performance Monitoring of Fossil Fuel Power Plants
ABSTRACT This paper describes a modified F-factor approach for real-time performance monitoring of heat rate and CO2 emissions for fossil fuel power plants. The calculation protocol introduced in the present investigation is a modification of the...
