    • Development And Application Of A Vertical High Speed Motor-Compressor Simulator For Rotor Drop Onto Auxiliary Bearings. 
      Ransom, David; Masala, Andrea; Moore, Jeffrey; Vannini, Giuseppe; Camatti, Massimo; Lacour, Michel (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
      During the conceptual development of a subsea motor-compressor prototype running on active magnetic bearings, the emergency landing on the catcher bearings was identified as a potential technology gap. This is because the ...
    • Full Load Testing Of A 12.5 MW Vertical High Speed Subsea Motorcompressor 
      Vannini, Giuseppe; Masala, Andrea; Camatti, Massimo; Neri, Massimiliano Ortiz; Bondi, Sergio; Evangelisti, Silvia (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
      In late 2006 Authors’ company was awarded a contract for the motorcompressor for the Ormen Lange Subsea Compression Pilot. This Pilot represents the first subsea motorcompressor unit ever built in a fully marinized version ...
    • New Active Magnetic Bearing Requirements for Compressors in API 617 Eighth Edition 
      Swanson, Erik; Masala, Andrea; Hawkins, Lawrence (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
      Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are being used for an increasing number of compressors in the oil and gas industry. The applications include cryogenic compressor-expanders, subsea processing, pipeline and other process ...
