Cooling Water System Reverse Engineering

After 25 years of intermittent operation and of being exposed to the elements, the cooling water radiators of an 3500 kW emergency diesel generator installed in a thermal power plant in Macau had degraded considerably. Thus, the power plant owner decided to replace them.
Unfortunately, the original documentation and specification were not available anymore. Therefore, QuantiServ reverse engineered them and got 12 new elements made by a specialized manufacturer.
The new radiators have just been installed and commissioned and will provide reliable cooling for many years to come.
Although this was a small case, it illustrates the important advantages that reverse engineering provides. Many of the industrial plants that we maintain and repair on behalf of our customers have a lifetime of many decades. But that does not mean that the documentation always survives that long, or that spare parts are still available. And sometimes even the OEM himself, or his sub-supplier, may not exist anymore.
It is thus comforting to know that QuantiServ has the skills, tools and experience to reverse engineer and reproduce all kinds of machinery components, even very complex ones and entire systems.
