Leakage Detection And Containment In Arrangement 1 Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Mechanical seals are the most common means of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps. There are a wide variety of seal options including the use of single or dual seal arrangements. While dual seals provide benefits in leakage ...
Combustion, Fuels and Emissions for Industrial Gas Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
It is important that gas turbines used in Oil & Gas applications can burn a wide variety of fuels with the minimum impact on the environment or economics. Many types of gaseous and liquid fuels that can be used in Gas ...
Overview of Important Considerations in Wet Gas Compression Testing and Analysis
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
During upstream production of natural gas fields, it is common that a gas-liquid mixture of product is brought to the surface. The mixture, termed wet gas, is generally made up of mostly gas with a small amount of liquid, ...
Investigation and Analysis of High Thrust Bearing Temperature After Field Overhaul and Rerate of a Centrifugal Compressor
(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 ...
Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics as Applied to a Reciprocating Compressor Head
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
High stretch direction vibration (differential displacement) on a reciprocating compressor cylinder head indicated possible crack. Facility requested path forward options until replacement 4 head arrived (3 months). This ...
Pump Cavitation Physics, Prediction, Control, Troubleshooting
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
This short course deals with cavitation in general and rotodynamic pump cavitation in particular. It gives an introduction to the subject matter and provides insights in particulars like cavitation inception, 3% head drop, ...
Preview Of API 610 12th Edition
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
API 610 Eleventh Edition, Centrifugal Pumps for Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries, is being updated to the Twelfth Edition. The Eleventh Edition was identical to the ISO 13709 Second Edition; however, API ...
Repetitive Shaft Crack Failure Analysis On A Multistage Centrifugal Pump In Reactor Charge Service In A Nuclear Power Plant - Based On ODS And FEA
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Two multistage barrel type pumps were installed in a nuclear power plant in reactor charge application. The pumps are driven by a 600 HP (447 kW) four-pole induction motor through double helical gear increasers. The overall ...
