Cleaning Motor Water Heat Exchangers and Jackets: Why and How? Practical Advice

  • June 2026
  • Number of views: 598
Article

While air-to-air cooled machines (WPII or TEAAC) dominate the market, water-to-air cooling is typical for motors rated above 5,000 kW (6,700 hp) or where water is readily available, or with specific applications such as wind generators. Service centers encounter two configurations: external tube heat exchangers and integral water jacket heat exchangers.

Limpieza de intercambiadores de calor y camisas de refrigeración de motores: ¿Por qué y cómo? Consejos prácticos.

Si bien las máquinas con refrigeración aire-aire (WP II o TEAAC) dominan el mercado, la refrigeración agua-aire es habitual en motores con potencias superiores a 5000 kW (6700 hp), en aquellos casos en los que el agua está fácilmente disponible, o en aplicaciones específicas, tales como los generadores eólicos. Los centros de servicio se encuentran con dos configuraciones: intercambiadores de calor con tubos externos e intercambiadores de calor integrales de camisa de agua.

Principles of Medium & Large AC Motors, 1st Edition - IEC

  • February 2020
  • Number of views: 67261
Book

This manual covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage. Most of the principles covered apply to other sizes as well. This manual focuses primarily on IEC motors and standards.

Root Cause Failure Analysis, 2nd Edition

  • September 2019
  • Number of views: 50307
Book

This book was developed to help electric motor technicians and engineers prevent repeated failures because the root cause of failure was never determined. By using a proven methodology combined with extensive lists of known causes of failures, one can identify the actual cause of failure without being an “industry expert.” In fact, when properly used, this material will polish one’s diagnostic skills that would qualify one as an industry expert.

Trade press article — Plant Services

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60529, “Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP code),” addresses the degrees of protection for electrical machines (motors and generators). The “IP” acronym means “international protection” but is sometimes referred to as “ingress protection.” The IP code is commonly displayed on the nameplates of metric machines that are manufactured to IEC standards.

De vez en cuando un usuario final quiere utilizar un motor diseñado para montaje horizontal en posición vertical. En este artículo, trataremos algunos factores mecánicos clave que deben ser considerados cuando se utiliza un motor horizontal con rodamientos de bolas en una aplicación en la que trabaja en montaje vertical. La Figura 1 ilustra un motor horizontal en posición vertical con el eje hacia abajo.

Los factores clave incluyen:

  • Capacidad de carga axial del rodamiento que soporta el peso del rotor.
  • Peso del rotor
  • Peso de los elementos acoplados al eje de salida
  • Empuje axial de los equipos de impulsión acoplados directamente
  • Trayectorias de lubricación de los rodamientos
  • Retención del lubricante de los rodamientos
  • Orientación del eje: Hacia abajo o hacia arriba
  • Protección contra ingreso
  • Fijación axial del rodamiento de empuje
