Book Description This updated edition is an invaluable source of practical cost-effective maintenance, repair, installation, and field verification procedures for machinery engineers. It is filled with step-by-step instructions and quick-reference checklists that describe preventive and predictive maintenance for major process units such as vertical, horizontal, reciprocating, and liquid ring vacuum pumps, fans and blowers, compressors, turboexpanders, turbines, and more. Also included are sections on machinery protection, storage, lubrication, and periodic monitoring. A new section examines centrifugal pumps and explains how and why they continue to fail. More new information focuses on maintenance for aircraft derivative gas turbines. This revised edition gives special attention throughout to maintenance and repair procedures needed to ensure efficiency, performance, and long life.

About the Author A consulting engineer residing in Montgomery, texas, Heinz. P. Bloch has held machinery-oriented staff and line positions with Exxon affiliates in the United States, Italy, Spain, England, The Netherlands, and Japan. His career spanned several decades prior to his 1986 retirement as Exxon Chemical's regional machinery specialist for the USA. Since his retirement from Exxon, he has been in demand throughout the world as a consultant and trainer in the areas of failure avoidance, root cause failure identification, and reliability improvement. Mr. Bloch is the author/co-author of thirteen books and over 200 other publications on subjects related to machinery reliability and failure avoidance. He is the Reliability and Equipment Editor of Hydrocarbon Processing magazine and has served as chair of the annual conference program for Hydrocarbon Processing's Process Plant Reliability Conference for a number of years.

He retired from Imperial Oil with 20 years of service as an engineer.
Reviews:
A single-source reference for the maintenance professional: As in the preceding three textbooks of this series, the authors take us through principles of installation and general operating issues to the main topic of interest: how to install and repair such machines as horizontal and vertical pumps, reciprocating and liquid ring vacuum pumps, blowers, reciprocating gas engines and associated compressors. The second part of this very readable and well-illustrated text takes us to maintenance issues involving such equipment as industrial gearing, belt-drives, steam turbines, turboexpanders, gas turbines, and hydraulic governors, to the maintenance of electric motors and associated apparatus. Part three deals with storage protection and gives cost-saving hints on grease lubricated bearings as well as lubrication management in general. Also touched on is vibration and condition monitoring--a fine overview of profit-driven practices. The book closes with solid information on the maintainability, serviceability, and availability of machinery. When is the next book coming?
