Spark Plugs Maintenance and Service Guides

The spark plug is one important component of the engine. Its purpose is to ignite the air or fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder. An electrical energy is transmitted into the spark plug and ignites the fuel and air mixture in the engine combustion chamber. Another function of the spark plug is to help remove heat from the combustion chamber or the engine’s cylinder.

Like all other parts found on a certain vehicle, spark plugs can also eventually wear out and won’t work properly. As an owner, you should check and maintain your spark plugs or replace it if necessary. According to the Car Care Council, spark plugs are commonly replaced between driving range of about 30,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and spark plug type (Volkswagen spark plug for instance). Knowledge about spark plug operation, maintenance, and service can increase engine performance, resulting to an improved driving performance. This article will help you out maintain and replace your spark plugs, assuming that you have a Volkswagen vehicle.

Damage spark plugs will activate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON or CHECK ENGINE light to appear on your vehicle’s information panel. This is a sign that you should check your engine spark plugs and other engine parts for damages. When removing the spark plug, use a compressed air to blow out all foreign materials like dust or smoke leftovers around the base of the spark plug. Do not pull the Volkswagen spark plug wires. Instead, remove the spark plug from the terminal boot. You can do this by using a numbered clothespin to clip the wire.

Next, identify the correct cylinder with the spark plug and check for spark plug and cylinder malfunctions. Start cleaning the spark plug with a typical solvent. Make sure to clean the paint insulation, and other dirt particles including carbon and oxides left by fuels. After doing this, you can now eliminate other unwanted particles like dust (if ever) in the cylinder head thread as well as plug thread using a steel brush. This will ensure a clean contact between the new spark plug and the cylinder. Lastly, you should adjust the gap between the ground and electrode to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Now in installing a new spark plug, always make sure cylinder head threads and spark plug threads are thoroughly clean. You should also make sure to set the correct gap on the new spark plug and install new gaskets. However, if you have tapered spark plug, you are not required to install a new gasket. Next, tighten the plug using your hand as tight as possible. Using a wrench, further tighten the plug to Volkswagen’s torque specs, about 20 lb.-ft.

Finally, make sure that the spark plug cable is perfectly fitted into the plug terminal. Now that you have a brand new spark plug installed, you should regularly check it for maintenance.

Operation Maintenance

Automation Infatuation-mobile Work Place Automation Makes Chemical Plant Operations More Reliable and Efficient

Throughout the chemical  process industry,  it’s  difficult  to  think  about  plant monitoring  without  visualizing  personnel  on  daily  rounds  laboriously  filling  out  paper  log  sheets.  Besides   being  a  manual-intensive  routine,  this  traditional  monitoring  approach  primarily  focuses  only   on documentation.  Typically  stored  in filing  cabinets,  field  data  currently  collected  by  most  plants  is   lifeless,  rarely  reviewed  for  plant  performance  monitoring  and  trouble  shooting.  However,  this  outmoded  approach  is  quickly  giving  way  to  an electronic  monitoring  system  outside  of  the  control  room.  Now plant  operations  data  are  wirelessly  gathered  on-site  with  handhelds,  then  fed  into  a  hosted  Web-based  system.  This  system  allows  quick  operational  decisions  based  on  the  most  accurate  information,  to save  time  and money.  The  current  method’s  only  benefit  is  to  ensure  that  operators  actually  make  the  rounds  of  equipment  observation/inspection.  Even  then,  operators  tend  to  pencil-whip  data  without  really  observing the  plant  equipment.  Since  supervisors  are  busy  with  routine  shift  work,  even  experienced  operators  fail  to  recognize  pit  fall  readings  and  prevent  a  plant  shutdown  or  unsafe  situation.

Enter  the  Web-based  system,  hosted  software,  wireless  handhelds  and  a  “behind-the-scenes”  team  of  process  engineers  and  information  technology  (IT)  professionals.  With  this  integrated  system  functioning  24/7/365,  calculations  are  constantly  being  run  (not  triggered)  in  the  background  to  detect  any  equipment  abnormalities  and  in  turn  notifying  the  operations  supervisor  to  take  action.

The   system   determines   possible   abnormalities   two   different   ways.  With  Pull,  plant  managers  log  in  and  trend  all the  equipment  to  see  how  trend  lines  look,  i.e.  pulling   that  information  out.  With  Push,  all  the  information  is  brought  together,  calculations  performed,  and  any  cited   problems  are  emailed  with  a  cause  and  required  action.  The  new  systems  have  many  productivity  built  in  tools  including  the  following:

                1.Operations  must  physically  scan  the  RFID  tags  or  barcodes  on  the  equipment  and  hear,  smell  and  feel  any      developing  abnormalities  before  a  shutdown  or  unsafe  incident  occurs.

                2.Every  reading  can  have  an  alarm  set-up  at  no  cost.  For  example,  the  lube  oil  filter  DP  is  critical  but  hardly  any  plant  has  an  alarm  in  the field  or  control  room.  Using  this  system,  when  an  operator  enters  an  above-normal   reading,  it  beeps  and  flashes  a  message  such  as  “Lube  Pump  may  loose  suction”  or  “Filter  element  may  collapse.”  Then  the  operator  must  reset  or connect  the  situation  before  it  allows  him  to  input  the  reading. 

                3.The  mobile  device  automatically  enters  real-time  data,  which  can  be  an excellent  tool  for  problem  solving  or  plant  trouble  shooting.

                4. The  mobile  device  will  calculate  the  compressor,  pump  or  steam  turbine  efficiency  automatically  and  trend  them.  If  the  polytrophic  efficiency  of  a  compressor  stage  suddenly  falls,  the  device  will  send  an  e-mail  to  the  operation/maintenance  manager  to  check  the  labys   or  seals   for  leaks,  for  instance.  The  device  also  can  calculate  plant  specific  operating  parameters  such  as  stream  carbon  ratio  for  hydrogen  reformers  or  operating  fouling  factors  for  heat  exchanges  based  on  operating  data  entered  routinely  by the  operators.  Handhelds  are  today’s  key  to  mobile  plant  automation.  Specifically,  the  equipment  is  a  Class  1  Division  1/Division  2  rated  pocket  PC- based  handheld  device,  bar  code  and/or  RFID-enabled.  If   equipment  is   not  bar  coded,  the  provider  physically  affixes  bar  codes  to  all plant  equipment   to  begin  implementing  the  mobile  automation  process.

                Subsequently,   on   daily   rounds,   the   bar   code/RFID-enabled   real-time   wireless   data    collection   proceeds.  When   that   process   is   completed   daily,   the   data   collector   presses.   Send,  and  via  a  wireless  LAN  connection  or  a  cradle  connected  to  the  computer,  it’s  uploaded  directly  on  the  Web  and  instantly  available  to  management  personnel.  An  important  issue  involving  technology  applications  -heightened  by  wireless-  centers  on  safety  and  security  of  data.  With  Category  5  Hurricane  Safe  data  centers,  comprehensive  policies  and  procedures  are  in  place  to  best  ensure  that  data  cannot  be  compromised  either  outsiders  or  the  plant’s  own  personnel.

                Optionally,  plants  can  host  internally  but  that  is  typically  a  complicated  undertaking  working  with  organizations  own  IT  department  to  get  the  entire  process  set  up.  With  the  hosted  option,  the  entire  services  can  be  up  and  running  in  less  than  a week.  Since  most  plant  operators  are  used  to working  with  paper  logs,  they  are  somewhat  change  resistant  in  the  early  stages.  But,  not  only  do  they  typically  adapt  quickly,  they  wholeheartedly  embrace  the  system.  For  example,  when  the  system  was  implemented  in  the  world’s  largest  ammonia  plant,  it  immediately  encountered  expected  skepticism.  

                However,  a  few  months  into  using  the system  on limited  critical  field  equipment  like  boilers,  turbines  and  generators,  they  asked  that  the  system  be  implemented  plant-wide  even  indulging   equipment  already  electronically  monitored  via  DCS.  A  major  reason  was  that  the  system  is  built  to  look  and  feel  much  like  log  sheets  to  which  they  are  accustomed.
