Abstract : This paper analyzes the system of a high pressure oxygen plant. The whole system comprises of one compressor,two dryers in standby configuration and
one separator. Air compressor is used to take out oxygen from the surrounding air. The dryer
is used to
absorb moisture of the
processed gas.
It dries the processed gas up to a
fix temperature. Pure gas from the dried gas is separated with the help of
separator. Then it is filled in different cylinders. The working of all the units. depend upon each other. After a
random time whole system goes to preventive maintenance. Failure time distributions are taken to be negative exponential whereas repair
and preventive maintenance time distributions are taken arbitrarily. Using regeneration point technique. several system parameters which' are useful to system managers and engineers are evaluated. At last
some graphs are also plotted to high-light the important
results.
Keywords : Availability,
Reliability, MTSF.
Regeneration point.
Expected busy period of
the.repairman. Expected profit earned by the system.
