    Jane Anybody worked as a mechanical engineer at XYZ Engineering from September 2001 to October 2001. She conducted an engineering study of the plant's central cooling system to improve its reliability. She engineered piping changes to allow either chiller to act as a backup if one goes down. After installation, the plant faced an oil mist problem. Jane determined flush nozzles were atomizing oil. Removing nozzles and installing centrifugal mist collectors at key points successfully controlled the mist.

    01/09/01 01/10/01 In the plant we are using a central cooling system for providing temperature controlled cutting
    oil to all machining centers via an underground trough. I conducted an engineering study on
    the system in order to determine its reliability. Since the system is very crucial to the plant it
    is necessary6 to have the most reliable system possible with the least number of things to go
    wrong.

    The system utilizes two chillers for cooling the oil. The piping as it exists now does not
    allow for one chiller to act as a back up for the other in case of malfunction or shutdown for
    maintenance. In order to correct the above, I have engineered the necessary piping changes
    which will allow for back up, in case either chiller goes down, thus allowing production to
    continue. The changes have been approved by the vendor and will be implemented in the near
    future.

    After the installation of the coolant system we were faced with an oil mist problem in the
    plant. The mist was so substantial as to cover the entire plant with a thin coating of oil in a
    matter of a few hours.

    In order to solve this problem I first determined the source of the problem. The mist was
    being created by the flush nozzles in the flumes which were atomizing the oil. To start with, I
    removed as many nozzles as possible, letting the oil flow through a standard fitting. This
    reduced the oil mist considerably. But the mist problem was still significant. Further control
    was possible by installing centrifugal type mist collectors at key points on the system,
    utilizing proper ducting for maximum collection with minimum head loss. Additional mist
    collectors were installed on all machine tools utilizing the coolant oil. The problem is now
    under control with most of the mist eliminated from the plant atmosphere.
