-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)Surveys aiming to isolate the main causes of severe damage of large machines such as reciprocating compressors and diesel engines clearly indicate the need for a reliable method to perform real-time monitoring of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)Case histories for 13 selected bearing design conversions for specific end results are presented. They were selected out of a group of bearing designs over a 25 year span to give a varied array of non-repetitive case ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)The paper addresses the balance between peak attainable efficiency and overall operating range that must be addressed when specifying, designing and/or selecting centrifugal compressors. The relative roles of the various ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)A Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for repeated impeller blade failures in a five stage centrifugal propane compressor is described. The initial failure occurred in June 2007 with a large crack found in one blade on the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)A new "yardstick" for measuring rotating machinery vibration is seen in the real time spectrum analyzer. This paper presents some actual case history data that was analyzed using a real time spectrum analyzer. The object ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)Many design specifications are incomplete relative to pumping system operation and can inadvertently place unrealistic restrictions on the pump designer. Meaningful cooperation between pump suppliers, architect/engineers ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)Reapplication of used power equipment can shorten project schedule and decrease capital cost significantly. The following is a broad overview of the reapplication of an FCC airblower steam turbine to 15 megawatt cogeneration ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)The reapplication of equipment can be attractive and rewarding when the proper situation warrants. The main factors that encourage consideration of this path can include simple economics, convenience, or possibly a more ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)Most states have adopted regulations that limit fugitive hydrocarbon emissions from mechanical seals in centrifugal pumps. In California, limits as low as 100 ppm have been imposed. Users are faced with few choices to meet ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)Coupling enclosures are oil-tight guards which serve the double purpose of protecting people from the rotating coupling and returning oil that escapes past the seals back to the oil reservoir. Enclosures were, and still ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)Advances in manufacturing techniques and design enhancements for such components as shaft seals have made it possible for liquid flooded rotary screw compressors to achieve availability, reliability, and overall performance ...

(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)Recently, large capacity ethylene plants have been constructed in the world and the trend for the capacity of these plants is increasing. At present it reaches up to about one million tons per year and more. Accordingly, ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)The use of unshrouded impellers to increase the pressure ratio and volume reduction achieved in low mole weight, single-shaft compressor applications is discussed. The aerodynamic and mechanical implications of using ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)Technology for reciprocating compressor condition monitoring has been around since the 1950s. However until the last 15 years or so it seemed that only the pipeline companies spent much effort on this activity. Technology ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)Determining the cause of a crankshaft failure which resulted in significant collateral damage within an Oxygen compressor safety barrier can be challenging despite having the industry recommended instrumentation. This case ...
