1. Debunking the myths around bearings

From installation to lubrication, 11 ways to protect your assets.

2. Identify three key elements in selecting lubrication

Cost, maintenance, and downtime all must factor into decision.

3. Remote energy monitoring improves plant performance, reduces downtime

A single dashboard can display power quality information to head off problems.

4. Reduce HVAC energy consumption with FHP and VFD operations

Air-cooled chillers can take up a lot of room while expending massive amounts of energy. Integrating FHP and VFD operations is one way to cap energy consumption.

5. Plant Engineering 2014 Energy Management Study: Five energy monitoring trends

According to the data in this report, 33% of manufacturing facilities have energy reduction goals of at least 10% for the upcoming year, and another 40% are aiming to cut energy consumption by 5% to 10%.

The list was developed using CFE Media’s web analytics for stories viewed on plantengineering.com, June 16-22, for articles published within the last two months.
