Circulating water pumps deliver cooling water to equipment that condenses the steam coming from a turbine. This is an extremely important component for a fossil power plant that operates a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The internal workings of a circulating water pump needs to be operating at peak efficiency. It is possible for internal [...]

Flexible and rigid borescopes are successfully used to conduct remote visual inspections for mold in buildings. Mold can develop behind walls, under floors and other impossible to view areas. Moisture may come in through a leak in the roof, a pipe behind a wall or areas that form condensation due to poor insulation.
Infrared cameras can [...]
