Guest Speaker from Trane Talks on Safety and Desalination Machine
Date: 9.22.17
Class: Digital Electronics
Number of Students: Entire class
Goal: Discuss with students safety considerations for desalination machine.
Mike Karlovich from Trane came into class to talk to the students on safety considerations for the Desalination Machine. We thank Mike for taking the time to talk to our class.
Mike spent quite a bit of time on LOTO (lock out tag out) safety mechanisms to make sure circuits were not energized before using them.
He talked about human ergonomics and pedal power for supplying energy. The body will wear out doing this and a chain guard would have to be used.
PVC pipe would be ok to uses, just watch the pressures. Include cutoff values and bleed off valves.
Water needs to be checked at the end for particulates and bacteria.
Pex piping could be used as it would be rated for at least 90 PSI.
No pipe hammering should be allowed as it weakens the glue joints. Remember the joints are the weak spots.
Heating may cause us to go with a metal piping option.
