Technical Report · Thu Feb 11 23:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:5274658

The program was undertaken to improve the technical understanding of the performance of plunger packings in coal liquefaction pilot plant feed pumps. During the first quarter of FY 1982, visits were made to the H-Coal, EDS and SRC-I pilot plants, where technical discussions were held with maintenance and engineering personnel, and the maintenance records and work orders for the plunger pumps were reviewed. Technical discussions were held with engineering personnel at the manufacturing facilities of three plunger pump manufacturers' companies. Contracts and technical discussions with packing vendors were initiated. Design of the laboratory tests was started.
