Ruud Middle East and Africa’s Post

You should build your future. It is possible by effective communication and teamwork.

More Indian engineering firms should explore Saudi & rest of MENA for seizing these kind of opportunities.

Cable Sizing The sizing of power cables in the Saudi Aramco System shall be based on the following: 1. Load Factor – 100% 2. Ambient Temperatures    Outdoor Exposed To Sun (for exposed cables,     cables in conduit, and cables in uncovered cable trays)  : 56°C    Outdoor Shaded (for exposed cables,    cables in conduit, cables in covered    trays in the sun, and cables in cable trays in the shade) : 50°C    Indoor Non-Air-conditioned                : 50°C    Indoor air-conditioned                  : 35°C    Soil Temperature                     : 40°C    Sea Water Temperature                   : 30°C 3. Earth Thermal Resistivity (RHO)   Land : 120°C-cm/watt   Concrete (For Duct Banks) : 85°C-cm/watt   Sea Bottom : 80°C-cm/wat 4. Additional Conditions - Shielded Cables:   Shields Bonded and Multi-point Grounded (at both ends and possibly additional    points). 5. Additional Conditions - Submarine Cables   Maximum Conductor Operating Temperature   : 90°C   Maximum Conductor Emergency Temperature   : 110°C   Maximum Conductor Short Circuit Temperature : 200°C   Maximum Shield Short Circuit Temperature  : 150°C #electrical #cable #cablesizing #oilandgas #aramco #saudiaramco #construction #saudiaramcoengineeringstandard #electricalengineering #powercables

The air conditioning load calculations are utilized in a fast estimation approach in the table to ensure the validity and proximity of the values and implications from the engineering programs and calculations. This method expresses the RULES OF THUMB. A very important NOTE: After the eighth edition, this table was removed from ASHRAE publications because engineers now need to rely on engineering programs and calculations rather than approximations of values. for more information please contact us on [email protected] #mep #hvac #mepengineering #mepengineers #havcengineers #constructionindustry #construction #megaprojects #oilandgas #buildingdesign #mechanicalengineering #mechanicalengineers #PERFECTRA #coolingsolutions #consultancyservices #engineeringsolutions #designengineering #germany #egypt #uk #europe #ksa #uae #middleeast #oman #africa #usa #canada #airconditioning #districtcooling #districtplant

On September 17th 2023, a 49 ton M501F gas turbine rotor arrived at Mitsubishi Power Saudi Arabia facility, which is located in 2nd industrial city Dammam. The rotor measures 1050 x 375 x 315 cm and it produces an output power of 170MW the plant located at eastern area of Saudi Arabia . Mitsubishi Power recommends what it calls a “Comprehensive Rotor Inspection” or CRI. After 12 years or 100,000 hours of service, whichever comes first. It requires a shop visit and involves complete disassembly of the rotor. All components undergo detailed nondestructive examination, repairs, replacements, and mods/upgrades are performed as necessary to assure performance and reliability goals are achieved. Here are some of the important rotor-component inspections conducted during a CRI: * Spindle bolts, for fatigue or fretting associated with high turning-gear hours and low-speed operation. * Torque tube, for cracking. * Turbine-disc cooling-air passages, for clogging attributed to corrosion of the rotor and cooling-air piping and/or foreign material. * Turbine-disc blade serrations, for wear and fatigue caused by blade rock, pitting corrosion, etc. * Curvic clutch, for wear from high hours on turning gear and/or through-bolt relaxation contributing to relative motion between adjacent discs. * Compressor and turbine discs, for corrosion, cracking, pitting, creep, and/or hardness changes attributed to high operating hours or starts, prolonged exposure to corrosive elements, and abnormal operating conditions. * Shaft journals, for wear, scoring, and/or cracking attributed to high operating hours, insufficient oil filtration, loss of lube oil, and/or electrolysis. In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity and thank everyone who have participated in executing the project in a timely manner for our valued customer Saudi Aramco. #mitsubishi #aramco #project

Exploring HVAC- R EGYPT EXPO ASHRAE CAIRO Reflecting on our delegation to visit the annual HVAC EXPO In cooperation with Better Engineering Community intitiative As HVAC is one of the most important mechanical engineering fields it was necessary to provide our membership with the basics of this field and highlight it’s labor market opportunities , so we found that HVAC - R EXPO is where we should start As there were several national and multinational companies presenting the following profiles :- -Central Air conditioning - Commercial and home air conditioning - cooling towers - control systems - Supplies, spare parts and components - Air handling units - Fans & supplies - Ventilation systems - Air Movements & Ducts - Piping systems - Fire protection systems - Insulation systems for cooling, heating and sound - Boilers & heaters - Solar and renewable energy systems It was a very valuable day and for sure more is coming …

Are you working on a project that involves pumps in Saudi Arabia? You may find it challenging to navigate the mix of standards used by various A/E companies. It's not uncommon to find a combination of British and American standards being used in different projects within the same city. What's even more surprising is the lack of local standards for pumps in Saudi Arabia. It's not easy to find a supplier or manufacturer that has digital or hard copies of pump standards. Have you faced this challenge before? Share your experience in the comments below. #SaudiArabia #PumpStandards #EngineeringProjects
