High temperature packing test program. Second quarterly technical progress report, December 27, 1981-March 27, 1982
The program was undertaken to improve the technical understanding of the performance of plunger packings in coal liquefaction pilot plant feed pumps. The operating, maintenance and engineering data from the three coal liquefaction pilot plants (EDS, H-Coal, and SRC-I) were reviewed with the personnel at each plant, analyzed, and are reported. The state-of-the-art recommendations from three plunger pump manufacturers and seven packing vendors were analyzed to select candidate packing combinations for the test program, and are reported. Static compatibility tests, exposing candidate packing combinations for 100 hours to 300/sup 0/F solvent from each pilot plant are two-thirds complete. Components for the dynamic test system are being assembled.
