Troubleshooting Vacuum SystemsSteam Turbine Surface Condensers and Refinery Vacuum Towers\nAuthor(s): Norman P. Lieberman\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-Scrivener\nISBN-13: 9781118290347, 978-1118290347\nSynopsis\nVacuum systems are in wide spread use in the petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries and power generation plants. The existing texts on this subject are theoretical in nature and only deal with how the equipment functions when in good mechanical conditions, from the viewpoint of the equipment vendor. Also, the existing texts fail to consider the interaction of the vacuum system with the process equipment it serves and the variability of the motive steam conditions, change in cooling water temperature condenser fouling and erosion of the ejectors.\n\n Here are some of the many questions answered in this groundbreaking volume:\n\nWhy does my first stage jet make a surging sound during hot weather?\nWhy does the vacuum?
