Prior to this gig I practiced architecture. Did practically every type of stuff - tilt-up warehouses, medical, SFR, MFR... but mostly zoological stuff for the Zoological Society of San Diego. Everything from animal exhibits, food & merchandise facilities to off-exhibit holding and breeding facilities. Animals included polar bears, orangutans, gorillas, hippos, birds and reptiles...you name it.
Anacortes?I work for a large international oil company. I have been a journeyman Millwright and Machinist by trade for 28 years, but my primary job has been a Vibration Analyst/Machinery analysis technician for the last 18 years or so.
I diagnose problems with any of the rotating/reciprocating equipment in our refinery and monitor the vibration and operating charicteristics to prevent failures or breakdowns before they happen.
I am also an Assitant Fire Chief/Industrial firefighter on our refinery fire team and a Hazmat technician. Lots of fun stuff to learn!!!!!
Yes Sir!! South RefineryAnacortes?
Never worked on one but I've burned Jet-A through some of them.I overhaul pt6 turbine engines for a living, 52 years in the making and it is still popular. Technology has come a long way though especially in materials and manufacturing methods.
My son is working on one at A&P school right now. His prior employer uses them on their turbine Otters...I overhaul pt6 turbine engines for a living, 52 years in the making and it is still popular. Technology has come a long way though especially in materials and manufacturing methods.
Twin otters or converted single engine otters?My son is working on one at A&P school right now. His prior employer uses them on their turbine Otters...
All the older GM engines are blown with one blower per eight cylinders, but this one is a turbo engine. Both are like you said, intake ports that go all the way around the cylinder and four exhaust valves. Here is what a turbo engine looks like. The turbo is clutch driven off the flywheel to about 600 RPM otherwise they would smoke more than a steam engine til they got wound up.
those twin otters are legends in the bush. These engines are bullet proof. Had one pt6 actually come in with bullet holes in it. I've never actually flown in a pt6 powered aircraft but I know the engine inside and out.
