cleaning and lubrication of equipment or other recommendation made by the equipment manufacturer. These activities can help increase the equipment functional life and help decrease facilities deterioration. No equipment should, No equipment should reach the breaking point [1]. Preventive maintenance is the base of the entire maintenance strategy for every pharmaceutical industry. One of the frequent problems that PM programs may confront is to maintain equally every equipment or parts involved in the
Modern complex systems/equipment involves a major load on maintenance and support resources, in terms of both manpower and cost. A proper maintenance needs technical skills, techniques, methods to properly utilize the assets like factories, power plants, vehicles, equipment’s and machines. The key objective of maintenance is to ensure system function (availability, efficiency and product quality), system life (asset management), and system safety with low energy consumption.

of the overall heat transfer coefficient can have a significant influence on the calculation of the overall heat transfer coefficient. Depending upon the nature of the fluids, one or more resistances may dominate making additional resistances unimportant. For example, in Table 2 if one of the two fluids is a gas and the other a liquid, then it is easy to see that the controlling resistance will be that of the gas, assuming that the surface area on each side is equal. 74 Mechanical Equipment and Systems
