USPI Filtration added to the Fricks
by Jeremy Williams on Jan.27, 2021, under News
We are so excited to add the best with one of the best machines ever built. USPI has been a supporter of GCAP since 2003 and we just added two more filtration systems to our hands-on training labs. We would like to thank Rick, Ben, Viktor, and the team @ USPI for their tremendous support.
USPI Oil Lubrication & Filtration Programs uniquely combine expertise and service, high quality lubricants, and ultra-fine particulate and water-removing depth filtration systems to maximize your lubricant and equipment life. USPI programs have been proven to reduce downtime, decrease labor and disposal costs, and maximize asset preservation.
Surface filters collect particles on the filter medium surface. These filters only capture particles larger than the pore size (typically 20-40 microns) and the filter will “blind off” and cease filtering when the relatively small surface area is loaded. Depth filtration takes place throughout the filter media. USPI depth filters collect much greater volumes of particulate in the media (approximately 12 pounds), allow much finer filtration (1-3 microns), and the filter does not “blind off” suddenly as it becomes loaded. Also, surface filters do not effectively remove water, while USPI depth filters remove about 5 quarts of water each.

What Temperature Does Water Boil?
by Jeremy Williams on Jan.11, 2021, under News
Chapter 7 of “Understanding Industrial Refrigeration from the Inside Out” is all about what is happening inside the mechanical refrigeration system. Trying to visualize the liquid transitioning to a gas, and a gas transition into a liquid. Those can only happen through heat transfer, but mysteriously does it without a change in temperature. If you believe water boils at 212 F or ammonia boiler at -28 F, then this video is for you. If you have never seen water boil at 69 F, then again this training session is for you!
