(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)Oil lubrication systems, when required and provided for the pumping system, are the life insurance policy for the process. If the oil lubrication system should fail to perform, the results are bearing failures in pumps, ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)Oil Mist lubrication has been shown to be a very effective method for reducing maintenance costs by minimizing lubrication related bearing failures. What oil mist is, how it works, and typical results from its application ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1986)Oil seals are used in many industrial compressor designs where positive control of the process gas is essential. Consideration of the influence of these seals is necessary for proper design evaluation. The oil seals can ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)The speaker will briefly review the type of problems which have been experienced with lubrication and seal oil systems and their impact upon process compressor train reliability. Recommendations for reducing these problems ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)Industrial gas turbines allow operation with a wide variety of gaseous and liquid fuels. To determine the suitability for operation with a gas fuel system, various physical parameters of the proposed fuel need to be ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)This paper presents a typical field problem that most maintenance engineers in any petrochemical plant could encounter. Two 4000 hp through-drive electric motors were totally destroyed when the inboard coupling failed. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1986)The efficiency of compressor impellers, apart from the design, depends on some features linked with their manufacture. These features are the accuracy of geometry, the surface quality obtained, and the blockages which are ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)Abradable seals are employed in turbomachinery to reduce leakage gaps between stationary and rotating parts to improve efficiency and stall margin. Thermally sprayed abradable seals have been used in the compressor section ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)On-stream cleaning is regularly practiced on the axial compressors of gas turbines and on steam turbines. Many other turbo machines could be cleaned in service. In fact, the limiting factor is not the machine type, but the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)Has the industrial standardization of the IBM PC/ AT as a building block for dedicated instrument computer systems brought costs down to the point where sophisticated monitoring systems are not only possible, but make good ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)Expander reliability has been limited by flow path erosion, corrosion, and deposition. Through root cause determination of the failures and laboratory testing, advances in machine designs and online monitoring and cleaning ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)Unpredicted bearing failures continue to plague industry with forced outages. As a result of these outages, many industries have attempted prevention by unnecessary inspections and premature bearing replacement. This work ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)This paper reports the results of a series of online water wash tests of a GE J85-13 jet engine at the test facilities of the Royal Norwegian Air force. The engine performance was deteriorated by injecting atomized saltwater ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)This paper outlines the typical problems seen in reciprocating compressors and shows that the existing type of monitoring systems, consisting of vibration level, rod drop, rod runout, and valve cap temperatures, often ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)Every industrial process which underlies our modern civilization involves the transfer of liquids from one level of pressure or static energy to another level, and, as a result, pumps have become an essential part of all ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)This paper describes in condensed form the results of a research project initiated by the Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau e. V. and carried out at the Institut fur Maschinenelemente und Konstruktionslehre of Darmstadt ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)The losses in turbine performance due to excessive leakages in the labyrinth seals can result in significant heat rate degradation to the turbine cycle. The modified packing arrangement described helps eliminate the rubs ...
