-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)A two-stage feed pump exhibited a drooping head-flow characteristic during its shop test. Impeller reworks were done to improve the drooping curve. CFD study was performed to examine the pump flow behaviour and a more ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)One of the most important compressor stations operated by Petrobras Transporte S.A. – TRANSPETRO – is called Catu Compressor Station, which operates for the GASENE gas pipeline, usually compressing gas in order to attend ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)A centrifugal compressor in olefins plant charge gas service experienced excessive thrust bearing temperatures after startup following a field overhaul and rerate. While the machine was online, an analytical study was ...

Investigation and Resolution of Governing Valve Linkage Failure for Compressor Drive Steam Turbine (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Fatigue failure of Governing Valve Linkage Rod end bearing and wear marks on several parts was observed on a extraction steam turbine (driving a centrifugal compressor) after it was in service for more than 9 year. The top ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)Pump adds an ingredient to a reaction vessel. Both short periods of loss of flow and long periods of excessive flow variation will impact product quality. Correct performance of this pump is critical to uptime and first ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)This case study examines a repeat compressor coupling failure that was a result of a complex, dynamic interaction of components that excited the 2nd torsional natural frequency of the train. The mature unit had operated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)For mechanical drive steam turbines, the investigation results of corrosion fatigue phenomena in the transient zone are introduced, including basic phenomena on expansion line and actual design and damage experience. These ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)This paper presents details of investigation results of issues observed during plant start-up on a centrifugal compressor. Compressor was operated with air/ nitrogen during start-up and high shaft vibration (approx. 75 um) ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Blade failure was observed on a backpressure steam turbine (driving a centrifugal compressor) after it was in service for more than one year. This paper presents details of observations, inspections carried out and root ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)Clearances between sealing devices of rotating and stationary components of turbomachinery have always been important to engineers in controlling gas leakages. One way of accomplishing this is by the use of abradable seals ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)With turbine rotors of low shaft elasticity (large diameter and small bearing span) the increase in amplitude at the first point of shaft resonance in the speed range is generally slight. Consequently no particular attention ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)The shop performance test of a hydrogen recycle gas compressor for refinery plant was conducted with the suction pressure of 50barA based on ASME PTC-10 Type-2 test. During testing, a surge phenomenon was observed at a ...
-
Investigations Into The Contamination Of Lubricating Oil In Rolling Element Pump Bearing Assemblies (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)The use of rolling element bearings in pumps is standard practice. Of the many factors that affect their long-term performance, contamination in the bearing lubricating oil plays a major part. Of particular concern are ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)For many application fields of turbocompressors the rotor stability has become the most important part of the rotordynamic analysis. A comprehensive knowledge of these seal forces is mandatory to ensure an adequate overall ...
