The Velox boiler operates on the principle that heat transfer rate increases when gas velocity exceeds the speed of sound. This allows the Velox boiler to generate steam at a higher rate without increasing the boiler size. The Velox boiler works as a basic heat exchanger, where compressed air from a gas turbine passes through combustion chambers and fire tubes at supersonic speeds, transferring heat to water circulating at high speeds in evaporator tubes. The high-speed water circulation results in efficient heat transfer and mixing of water and steam, which is then separated before the steam is superheated and used for power generation. The flue gases also pass through superheater tubes before rotating the gas turbine and transferring remaining heat in an economizer.

Equations For Heavy Gases In Centrifugalsdieselpub
Centrifugal compressor performance prediction relies heavily on accurate modelling of thermodynamic properties using Equations of State (EOS); In particular, the gas compressibility factor (Z) and ratio of specific heat (k). There have been efforts to develop more generalised EOS such as GERG, but the challenge remains on identifying the best EOS fit for specific duties.
More recent EOS including AGA8 and REFPROP’s NIST EOS haven been explored in this paper, along with some earlier ones. The boundary limits of the various EOS are herein described with comparison of the results of all of these equations on various gas mixtures encountered in real applications.
The purpose of this work is to explore the more thermodynamically challenging heavy gas and mixtures. Operating points are selected to cover typical duties that are commonly encountered in LNG and offshore compression. Z and k derived from the EOS are then compared with REFPROP’s EOS as a reference and the deviations are tabulated.
More specifically, Mixed Refrigerant gases are typically used for LNG liquefaction applications while CO2 gas are common in sour gas fields, hence relevant for the intended investigation.
Discharge temperature is not calculated and compared between EOS in this paper; a reliable model for calculating polytropic exponents is open for further research.

Editor's Notes
Cummins Filtration has been formulating engine coolants for over 40 years. Our coolant technology specifically focuses on the needs of heavy duty engines. We are unique in the coolant industry, in that we are the only coolant manufacturer that is a part of an engine company. As a part of Cummins Inc, Cummins filtration engineers are involved first hand in cooling system issues and lead the industry in knowledge of cooling systems and the evolution of todays engines. This knowledge allows Cummins Filtration to develop and commercialize coolant technology that addresses the needs of today’s engines. We know engines….we know heavy duty….we know coolant.
The general function of coolant is simple, to transfer heat from the engine. This is done by removing heat from engine components, circulating the heat through the cooling system and dissipating the heat through the radiator. The thermostat allows the cooling system to control the temperature of the system. However as simple as this sounds coolant technology and maintenance is extremely important to the function of the engine. To give you an idea of how hard your cooling system works, a typical heavy duty cooling system will circulate a 16,000 gallon swimming pool worth of coolant every hour.
A coolant must protect the whole system in order to properly remove heat from the engine. The coolant interfaces with many metallic and non-metallic surfaces and is also used to manage the temperature of other engine fluids. To properly transfer heat the coolant must protect the system components from corrosion, cavitation, and scale. More than 40% of engine problems originate in the cooling system. This makes selecting and maintaining your coolant key to protecting and ensuring the longevity of your equipment.
When selecting a coolant it can be difficult to determine which product that is right for your application. Many customers rely mainly on color, but manufacturers do not use standard color conventions and coolants of the same color are not always similar. A knowledge of how coolants are classified can be helpful in determining the difference between products and understanding which product is right for you. Typically coolants are classified in two different ways. They can be classified in terms of the coolants performance and can also be classified according to coolant type. Coolant performance is generally in reference to the performance of the coolant when tested according to industry standards or OEM specification. This testing may also be related to the compatibility of a coolant with cooling system materials.
ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials. This group develops testing methods and standards for a number industries. ASTM D3306 and ASTM D6210 are the most commonly referred to industry standards for coolants. ASTM D3306 contains several tests that measure key physical properties of the coolant. Freeze point and boiling point are measured as a part of this standard to ensure the coolant can protect equipment in cold temperatures with out freezing and will not boil when in contact with hot surfaces. D3306 also contains performance requirements that are important for light duty engines. These tests evaluate the corrosion protection of a coolant under various conditions and tests for protection against water pump cavitation. ASTM D6210 includes all of the testing required for D3306 as well as additional testing that evaluates the performance of the coolant for heavy duty applications. The primary additions are requirements regarding the ability of the coolant to protect against cavitation of wet liners as well as the ability to protect hot surfaces against scale. When looking for a Heavy Duty coolant, it is important to look for an indication that the coolant meets the 6210 standard. In addition to the ASTM standards, many OEMs, including Cummins, require additional testing that provides performance or compatibility information that the OEM feels is important to the protection of their equipment. Cummins coolant specification, CES14603, for instance includes an elastomer compatibility component. The OEM spec is typically the most stringent specification and includes all the requirements found in the ASTM standards.
Coolants can also be classified based on product type. Typically type classifications are generic terms that are related to the base type and additives used in the coolant. Although these terms can be useful in the general classification of coolant, coolants within each type will vary in composition and performance.
When discussing coolant types it is important to first understand the components of a coolant. Coolants are made up of three components, water, a base, and additives. Type classifications are made with respect to the base type and the additive type. Almost all commercially available coolants use water as a component because it transfers heat so well.
There are three different base types that are commercially used in engine coolants. These are EG, PG, and Glycerin. EG or ethylene glycol based coolants are by far the most common and account for around 90% of coolants sold in North America. EG based coolants are the most common because of their ability to be used in almost all climates. The draw back of EG is that it is toxic to humans and animals. PG or propylene glycol coolants are typically used by customers who are looking for non-toxic coolant. PG is not as widely used as EG because it is more expensive and cannot be used in artic climates. Glycerin is similar to PG in that it is non-toxic and cannot be used in artic climates. Glycerin based coolants make up the smallest portion of the market.
You may wonder why the base is important, especially since water is so efficient at transferring heat. By mixing water with a base the freeze point is lowered and the boiling point is raised. This allows the coolant to transfer heat in more extreme heat conditions than water alone can handle. The boiling point of the coolant is especially important in applications using EGR (exhaust gas recirculation). The EGR cooler puts off high levels of heat that may cause boiling of the coolant if enough base is not present. When coolant boils if forms a layer of steam next to the hot surface and can no longer transfer heat from the component. This can result in fatigue and even failure of the component. Most OEMs require that the base be present in a concentration between 40-60%. This can be checked in the field with a refractometer.
Coolants are also classified based on additive content. Each of these coolant types will have a base, by that I mean that there are conventional EG, Hybrid EG, and OAT EG products. There are three generic terms that are commonly used related to additive chemistry. These are conventional, hybrid and OAT. Conventional coolants use the oldest additive technology and typically have the lowest initial cost, but also have short service intervals and the shortest overall life. Over the life of the vehicle, conventional coolants will have the highest total cost of ownership. Hybrid coolants mix older additive technology with organic additive technology to provide extended service intervals and moderate initial investment. Hybrid coolants typically have a longer life and service interval than conventional coolants, but may have more maintenance requirements than OAT type coolants. OAT or Organic Additive Technology coolants use the newest type of additive chemistry. This type of chemistry will typically have the fewest maintenance requirements. OAT coolant are also more tolerant of system contamination than other coolant types and this is the coolant type that is preferred by most OEMs.
Selecting the correct coolant and properly maintaining the system is important to preventing costly failures. I will go though some of the most common failures that occur in the field and discuss the best way to protect your equipment from these failure mechanisms. The first failure mechanism is liner pitting. Liner pitting is specific to the heavy duty industry. If not properly formulated or maintained, coolants may not be capable of protecting the liner surface against cavitation. A lack of protection can result in small pits forming on the surface of the liner, typically this pitting will be in the thrust/anti thrust directions. In some cases, this results in pits that perforate all the way through the liner and allow coolant and oil to mix. This failure mechanism requires the engine to rebuilt.
To protect your equipment you should ensure that the coolant used for any heavy duty applications meets ASTM D6210. As I mentioned earlier, this spec contains a test that evaluates the ability of the coolant to effectively protect liners. This test is an engine test that measures the amount of pitting, with a lower number being better. Most coolants will list the standards that the product meets on the coolant packaging or in a product brochure, so be sure to look for indication that the products meets ASTM D6210 before using on a heavy duty application. It is also important to know what the maintenance requirements are for your product. Typically conventional and hybrid coolants need to be tested and serviced to maintain liner protection throughout the life of the coolant. Also, make sure that units are topped up with proper coolant. Dilution with water or improper coolant can cause liner pitting protection to be compromised.
If additives become unstable they can cause issues in the cooling system and leave your system unprotected against corrosion. There are a number of reasons this may occur. These include poor formulation, contamination, or over addition of SCA’s (supplemental coolant additives). Some additives will collect in the cool areas of the engine when instability occurs and impede heat transfer. On the right is a cross section of a radiator with plugged tubes due to over treatment with SCA’s. Another common failure due to additive instability is water pump leakage. If additives drop out of solution they may plug weep holes or collect on face seals causing leakage.
To protect from additive drop out it is important to make sure the water used for mixing coolant is of good quality. Some tap water will meet the requirements, but most will not. Hard water is particularly
As engines and cooling systems evolve, more and more Al is used in the cooling system for heavy duty engines. The use of aluminum radiators and oil coolers has become common in the heavy duty industry. In addition to this, the preferred method of manufacturing Al radiators uses a process that can introduce corrosion initiating contamination into the system.
Residual brazing compound coats the surfaces of the radiator as seen in the picture on the left. This residual compound is soluble in coolant and will dissolve into the coolant, introducing contaminates. When exposed to large surface areas of aluminum and simultaneously exposed to contamination, it can be difficult for some coolants to properly protect the system. Some of the additives in conventional and hybrid technologies become less stable under these conditions and are unable to properly protect all the aluminum surfaces. When corrosion begins to occur the aluminum is weakened and is prone to suffer from stress fractures as seen in the picture on the right.
Since the contamination is contained in new radiators it can be difficult to control the amount of contamination. New systems sometimes benefit from being flushed after a few hours of use. OAT coolants are typically more robust to this type of contamination and provide better protection under these conditions. NOAT or (nitrited OAT) Hybrid, and conventional products tend to be less robust to flux contamination and are more likely to be compromised in this environment.
Some additives used in commercially available coolants product have a negative effect on gasket and hose materials that are used in cooling systems. These additives will cause silicone gaskets and hoses to degrade and become brittle. The material will also shrink in size. This change in material affects the ability of the material to seal properly and will result in leakage. Depending on the location of the leakage, this issue can have varying levels of severity. One of the most severe failures is seen in head gasket seals.
This is a picture of a head gasket that has been affected by incompatible coolant additives. The silicone seal material around the head gasket ports has delaminated due to shrinkage and material deterioration. This causes the seal to become ineffective and results in head gasket leakage. This is a common failure mode in high horsepower engines.
To protect against seal and hose failures, be sure to select a product that is approved by your equipment and engine OEM. In response to failures in the field, most OEMs require compatibility testing to ensure that the coolant is compatible with the materials used in their engines. The chemical name for the additive that is know to be incompatible with silicone seals is “2-ethylhexanic acid”. To be certain that your equipment is protected, look for this additive name in the ingredients on the coolant bottle or on the coolant MSDS.
