Turbine Inlet Ice Related Failures and Predicting Inlet Ice
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Ice ingestion has caused damage and subsequent failures of a Solar Mars 100 natural gas pipeline gas turbine on two separate occasions in Seligman Arizona. Understanding this phenomenon and the required ambient conditions ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 36th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Unique Short Term and Subsequent Long Term Solution to Rotordynamic Stability Problem
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Pipeline Stage Design For Increased Operating Range.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
With the continuing increase in energy demand, pipeline compressors are being challenged to cope with both large flow rates and broad operating range flexibility, driven by the local seasonal markets. Overall, high efficiency ...
Practical Use Of Rotordynamic Analysis And Troubleshooting Skills To Correct A Long-Term Synchronous Vibration Problem In An Overhung Turboblower.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The two subject blowers operate in parallel to circulate wet chlorine gas. Both units had large synchronous vibrations that led to multiple bearing failures. After simple rotordynamic studies failed to identify the problem, ...
Increasing Pump Life In Abrasive Service Through State-Of-The-Art Surface Protection
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
In hydrocarbon processing and oil and gas industries, many pumps are required to transport fluids containing some level of abrasive solids. If not properly designed and equipped with wear resisting materials, the pump ...
Improving Tribological Performance Of Mechanical Seals By Laser Surface Texturing
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Significant improvement in load capacity, wear resistance, friction coefficient, etc., of mechanical seals can be obtained by forming regular microsurface structure in the form of micropores on their surfaces. A feasibility ...
Pump Rerates - When And How
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
During the life of a plant, there often arises a need to change a pump’s rating to match a new plant operating condition or raise the mean time between repair (MTBR) of an unreliable pump. In these cases, rerating the pump ...
Best Practices In Selecting And Applying Positive Displacement Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Selecting a positive displacement pump is many times a confusing process. Unlike centrifugal pumps were pumping technology is familiar, positive displacement pumps operate differently than centrifugal and there is a wide ...
