Thermal Growth Case Study
In this case study we will determine the effects of thermal growth on a pumping unit used as part of a manufacturing plants process. This sort of equipment is used in thermal metal treating and needs to perform flawlessly to keep up with industrial production.
The machine units are mounted on a steel base plate which in turn is supported on special rubber mounting pads and secured to a strong foundation. The manufacturing plant had designed and fabricated this important cooling water system to control the temperature of their electronic instruments.
