Title: Plant Water Systems
Course: Open PRO210 Systems > Section: Module 2: Air, Water & Gas Systems

Think About the various types of plant water systems that have been discussed and the problems you might encounter with each.

Action Required: Using any of the tools at your disposal (see suggested tools below), draw or create or find a process flow diagram of a water system that you might find in a plant. Next identify the following processes with color by using this key to the colors used:

1. temperature indicators
2. pressure and flow indicators
3. major components
4. the flow through the system

First post: Attach or add the PFD you created to your post and explain a problem that can result in that system.

Response to peer: On a different day, look over the other students PFDs in their first posts and respond to one of your peers diagrams with either a comment on the PFD or with an additional problem that could result in that system.

Suggested Drawing Tools

- Open Office - download this one-it's like Microsoft Office but FREE! Try Draw or Impress.
- Sketchup (use the free version-download to your computer-this is VERY good!)
- Word or PowerPoint- these work fine, especially PPT
- OR Draw the circuit and submit a picture of your drawing
- Google Drawings (in the clouds - good for the basics

I will read and then rate your posts according to our rubric.
