Reducing Operating Costs with Optimal Maintenance Scheduling
The potential benefits of optimal service scheduling for cleaning heat exchangers based on minimizing operating costs are explored. A demonstration is performed on a simulated 20 ton air-to-air vapor compression air conditioner. The costs of regular service schedules (indicative of current practice), minimal schedules needed to maintain comfort, and the optimal schedules are compared. Generally...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Influences of Track Superstructure Parameters on Ballasted Railway Track Design
The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...
متن کاملReducing costs by clustering maintenance activities for multiple critical units
Advances in sensor technology have enabled companies to make significant progress towards achieving condition-based maintenance (CBM). CBM provides the opportunity to perform maintenance actions more effectively. However, scheduling maintenance at the unit level may imply a high maintenance frequency at the asset level, which can be costly and undesirable for safety reasons. In this paper, we c...
متن کاملDynamic Characteristics Analysis of Mats of Ballasted Track on Bridge
A complete vehicle-ballasted track-bridge coupling dynamic model is established. A program to analyze dynamic characteristics is also invented, which is the first time to systematically analyze the dynamic characteristics of vehicles, tracks and bridges when using mats under ballast on the rigid foundation of bridge, in China. The results show that:(1) The mats under ballast are able to reduce ...
متن کاملRemarks on Modern Track Geometry Maintenance
A short survey on modern track maintenance methods is given, concentrating on the developments in recent years. The ongoing refinement of the machinery should be shown as the influence of IT-solutions. On top the economic view to the track infrastructure is briefly demonstrated. Further developments in track hardware solutions must respect the obtained high level of track work mechanization. H...
