Page 4 Section 1 - General Safety information Warning Follow these instructions very carefully, in order to avoid injury to yourself or others. Electrically powered machine. Always ensure that all power to the machine has been turned off and isolated before ANY maintenance / repair work is carried out on the machine. Ensure that all guards are correctly fitted before starting or attempting to operate the machine. Ensure that all fasteners are present and correctly fitted before attempting to start or operate the machine. Ensure that the pump unit is correctly fastened to the front of the hopper unit of the machine, and free of damage before attempting to start or operate the machine. Ensure that the main electric drive motor assembly, is secured to the rear of the hopper, clamped in place and free from damage before attempting to start or operate the machine. The MP-25 mixing pump unit can produce high pressures, high torques and can use high voltages. Care must be taken by all users. Only authorized and trained persons should work with this machine. Page 5 Section 2 - Machine Description Function The MP-25 is a mixing pump. The machine has a drive motor, that turns a drive shaft within a material hopper that in turn feeds material through a mixing / hydration chamber to a progressive cavity rotor stator pump unit that delivers the material from the hopper to the dispense head or otherwise via a material hose / hoses. The machine is driven by an electric motor powered by 220VAC three phase 50/60Hz, via an electronic variable speed inverter supplied by single phase OR three phase 220- 240, or 350-415 VAC 50/60 Hz grounded electrical supply. All styles of drives transmit their rotary action through a drive shaft equipped with bridge breakers, and metering flights, which convey the material from the hopper into the mixing / hydration chamber, where a metered supply of water is combined with the material. In the mixing / hydration chamber is where surface hardened mixing arms mix and shear the material with water, towards the pump unit, where further mixing occurs. The pump unit is a progressive cavity pump unit comprising of a helical rotating “rotor” with the rubber lined “stator”. As the rotor rotates, material is drawn / fed into open rubber cavities, which then transform into “pockets”. The series of pockets, then move from one end of the stator to the other as the rotor turn with respect to the stationary stator, causing the material to be conveyed from the hopper towards the outlet. Once the material has reached the outlet, it is guided through an output flange assembly, into the dispense hose, through to the hose outlet, where typically a spray nozzle is attached allowing, with the assistance of an auxiliary air supply, the material to be “sprayed” on to the substrate, or simply allowed to discharge from the end of the hose. A number of different devices can be fitted to the outlet of the tube for different means of application. For details of these different devices please contact your supplier of Machine-Technologies equipment or Machine-Technologies directly. The primary difference between the models is the combination of, rotor stator size (D or R style), water flow meter capacity (4 GPM or 7 GPM), and motor HP (5.4 or 7.5).

    PUMP STATION MECHANIC I/II DEFINITION To perform semi-skilled and skilled work in the installation maintenance and repair of pumps, motors, chain drives, valves and related equipment; and to do related work as required. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Pump Mechanic I: This is the entry level class in the Pump Mechanic series. Positions in this class normally perform beginning level mechanical repair and maintenance work on a wide variety of wastewater and storm water lift station and equipment. Under this class, individuals employed at the entry level (Pump Mechanic I) may, based on the acquisition of higher skill levels through training and experience, become eligible for promotion to the Pump Mechanic II position. This promotion would be based on satisfactory demonstration of skills through examination or certification from an accepted organization, training institution, or school and demonstrated ability to perform high level maintenance and repairs on City pump stations. Particular skill areas of interest are installation and maintenance of telemetry systems, computerized pump control systems and pump preventative maintenance programs. Pump Mechanic II: This is the journey level class in the Pump Mechanic series. Positions assigned to this class are flexibly staffed and are expected to perform the most skilled repair and maintenance work and have a thorough knowledge of the operational characteristics, maintenance and repair methods and techniques and most typical system difficulties for the full range of equipment and operational systems in a lift station. All positions assigned to this class require the ability to work independently, exercising judgment and initiative. Pump Station Mechanics II may also be expected to assist in the oversite of less experienced personnel.

  • Cyclic Hydraulic Actuation for Soft Robotic Devices

This paper presents a comparative study for actuation by undulation in water. We focus on actuating a 1DOF systems with several mechanisms. A hydraulic pump attached to a soft body allows for water movement between two inner Deflection cavities, ultimately leading to a flexing actuation in a side-to- side manner. The effectiveness of six different, self-contained designs based on centrifugal pump, flexible impeller pump, Cyclic Actuator external gear pump and rotating valves are compared. These hydraulic actuation systems combined with soft test bodies were De-Pressurized Liquid then measured at a lower and higher oscillation frequency. The deflection characteristics of the soft body, the acoustic noise of the pump and the overall efficiency of the system Fig. 1: Cyclic hydraulic actuation of a soft body through an are recorded. A brushless, centrifugal pump combined with a actuator producing undulating motions. novel rotating valve performed at both test frequencies as the most efficient pump, producing sufficiently large cyclic body deflections along with the least acoustic noise among all pumps tested. An external gear pump design produced the largest body and compact actuation with long endurance for soft fluidic deflection, but consumes an order of magnitude more power actuators [1].

(ESI) began a 1OCFR21 evaluation on 03/23/10 following a corrective action request from Entergy - Grand Gulf. The request was written as the result of Grand Gulf having an EMD jacket water pump with an incorrect impeller. Specifically, the impeller installed in the pump was for rotation opposite of the pump housing. The evaluation was concluded on 04/26/10 and was determined to be a reportable defect as defined by 1OCFR21. "EMD diesel engines utilized for emergency diesel generator sets use two engine jacket water centrifugal pumps (one for each bank) to circulate fluid throughout the engine for cooling. Each pump is mounted on the front of the engine and rotates in the opposite direction of the engine crankshaft. For single engine generator set applications (i.e. left hand rotation engine, viewed from the rear of the engine), the pumps used on each bank contain identical components; the only difference is the position of the impeller housing in relation to the pump shaft housing.

Rubidium* gas-cell clocks constitute the ideal frequency standard for this kind of space application, since they combine excellent short- and medium-term stability with small size, as well as low weight and power consumption. The development of the key technologies, particularly in terms of reliable diode lasers and atomic vapour cells, will pave the way towards low-power and miniature – ultimately chip-scale – atomic clocks for industrial and domestic use. Introduction With today’s satellite navigation and positioning systems like Galileo, GPS and Glonass, the position of the receiver unit is determined by measuring and evaluating tiny differences in the arrival times of signals originating from several different satellites. The positioning accuracy of these systems therefore critically relies on the precision of each satellite’s timing signal.
