Strachan, Martin; Severs, Peter; Sharples, Andrew; Woolsey, Clive; Vickers, Tim (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)A method has been developed that allows reasonably accurate sectional performance evaluation of sideload compressors based upon only external measurements available from the streams entering and exiting the compressor ...

Strachan, Martin; Severs, Peter; Sharples, Andrew; Woolsey, Clive; Vickers, Tim (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)This case study describes the deployment of an axial load measurement and control solution for centrifugal pumps experiencing high bearing temperatures on the Non-Drive End (NDE). Through the real-time measurement of the ...

Strachan, Martin; Severs, Peter; Sharples, Andrew; Woolsey, Clive; Vickers, Tim (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)The pressure packing is a critical component of every reciprocating compressor. High wear leads to increased process gas leakage rates which can result in a compressor shutdown. Excessive leakage can even cause fugitive ...
