  • Publication number: 20160140263
    Abstract: A system includes a power transformer diagnosis and prognosis device having memory circuitry storing a plurality of models. Each of the plurality of models comprises correlations between potential combinations of operational and non-operational power transformer data and potential conditions of one or more subsystems of a power transformer and include a physics-based model and an empirical model. The system includes communication circuitry configured to receive a particular combination of operational and non-operational power transformer data related the power transformer.

  • Publication number: 20060231377
    Abstract: A compact and economical array of vertical tube evaporators is disclosed in a multi-effect process, for desalination of sea water, brackish water, and in general to any water with dissolved solids, in order to produce fresh water for oil offshore platforms, ships, and for some arid locations, using rejected waste heat of thermal machines. This invention is based on a concentric disposition of the evaporators or stages, having three different specially designed evaporators, which the first stage is a shell and tube evaporator built in a ring format, named Ring Shell And Tube Evaporator, including an internal shell, and having a vapour chamber above its upper tubesheet; the intermediate stage is a bundle of tubes in a ring format named Ring Bundle Evaporator, having a vapour chamber above its upper tubesheet; and the last stage that is a bundle of tubes in a circular arrangement named Cylindrical Bundle Evaporator.
