Here we are the week before summer quarter begins and I am very excited to learn. I chose to take the Anaerobic Digestion class under Scott Stidham. In preparation and out of pure nerdy excitement I have been doing some research on Anaerobic Digestion and other things related. I had many basic questions about a week and a half ago and now I probably have even more; but here is a link to what I found to be some really good and easy to understand basic information on Anaerobic Digestion.   Anaerobic Digestion Basics


Along with the basic questions I had about Anaerobic Digestion I also wanted to have a better understanding about Cooling Towers and Water treatment and it's use in HVAC. This is think to another website that helped me answer some questions.   http://www.csiontheweb.com/water.htm


Looking forward next week and hope everyone's enjoying there internships, if not see ya next Wednesday.

For the final part of the spring quarter we were asked to do a Preventative Maintenance final project. We were to do a vehicle or equipment inspection/walk around. I chose to do mine on the 2011 Peterbilt.

I used a Preventative Maintenance Checklist For Tractors,Trucks, and Trailers. Here is the Link

It took me a good hour to just check off what was applicable. I have a pic of me doing the walk around and will post when I am able.

Final Project

1. I chose to do Lube Oils, Coolant, Service Intervals, and Grease.

Lube Oils-

Engine - ISX15 - 485/cm2250
Oil Type- CES20081 or CES20078 15-40w synthetic,
Capacity- 11 gal. or as stated by Cummins High 12 gal., Low 10 gal.
Service Interval- CES20081 at 15,000 mi. and CES20078 at 20,000 mi.

Transmission - Eaton - FRO-16210C
Oil Type- 75-90w synthetic, however Roadranger says to use Roadranger CD50 or an equivalent E500 synthetic.
Capacity- 7.57 L. or 16 pints, but It also said 26 pints I am a little confused on this.
Service Interval- check at 50,000 mi. and change at 250,000 mi.

Axles - Spicer - RDH49
Oil Type- 80-90w synthetic
Capacity- was not able to find.
Service Interval- fill as needed.


Coolant-

Type- RP329 (ethylene glycol) or RP330 (propylene glycol) in a 50/50 mix with water.

Capacity- 26.5 L
Service Interval- Check level daily, change coolant filter at 500 hrs or 6 months and flush at 2,000 hrs.

Grease-

Type- Lithium based
Capacity- varies
Service Interval- Daily
# of fittings I counted was, 51

I do have 4 or 5 pics of grease fittings in different spots, some hard to see and others so easy to see you might just miss looking for others. Will post when I figure out how to get the on my computer.

Here is the link I used to find the MSDS for lubricating oils, grease, and coolant.

Last but not least I want to thank everyone who has been a part of my learning and understanding of some basic and not so basic Electrical, Hydraulic systems and now PM. Spring quarter was fun and knowledgeable. Thank You Jeff.

Total hours I really don't know, 180 lab/shop hours, another 150 spent online investigating.
