Governor and Spares

Governor and Spares
-
Governor:
- In mechanical engineering, a governor is a device used to regulate the speed of machinery. It works by controlling the amount of fuel, steam, or other energy sources to the engine or system, thereby maintaining a consistent speed under varying conditions.
- There are different types of governors, such as centrifugal governors (which use rotating masses) or hydraulic governors (which use fluid pressure), depending on the application and requirements of the system.
-
Spares:
- Spares, short for spare parts, refer to extra components kept on hand to replace any parts that may malfunction or wear out in machinery or systems.
- Having spares is crucial for maintenance and repair purposes, ensuring minimal downtime in operations. Spares can range from small components like bolts and gaskets to larger parts such as pumps, motors, or specialized components unique to the machinery.
