Thermal Test Analysis Of Bearing Frame Inline Pumps On High Temperature Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Testing of an API Standard 610[1] bearing frame inline pump at pumpage temperatures up to 650 degrees F is presented. The thermal response throughout the pump, and specifically in the bearing frame area, is quantified. ...
Vertical Diffuser Type Turbine, Mixed-Flow, And Axial-Flow (Propeller) Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Vertical diffuser type pumps, their application, construction, specialties and installation are discussed. Also, system curves and pump curves are handled.
Monitoring Sealless Pumps For Metal-To-Metal Contact Of The Internal Rotor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Monitoring vibration as a predictive maintenance tool will not consistently prevent catastrophic damage and/or fluid release from sealess pumps. When vibration readings are taken periodically, a pump may be destroyed between ...
Sealless Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Magnetic drive and canned motor pumps have many common features including bearing and rotor designs, internal cooling, and lubrication. The primary differences center on the manner in which the rotating magnetic field is ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 11th International Pump Users Symposium
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Vibrations In Reciprocating Machinery And Piping Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
A wide variety of vibration and failure problems occur in reciprocating machinery and piping systems. Excessive piping vibration problems usually occur when a mechanical natural frequency of the piping system or compressor ...
Magnetic Bearing Operating Experience.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Over the past 10 years, magnetic bearings have been making significant changes to the rotating equipment industry. As magnetic bearing systems become more accepted and the numbers of applications increase, so do the operating ...
The Baffling And Temperature Prediction Of Coupling Enclosures.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Increasingly, turbomachinery users are setting upper limits on coupling enclosure temperatures. This is done either to protect personnel, to ensure the proper operating temperature for bearing oil that leaks past seals (or ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 23rd Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Tilting Pad Bearing Design.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The basics of tilting pad bearing design are discussed to include limits of operation for load, speed, and metal temperature. Optimum temperature sensor locations are recommended for self-aligning and nonaligning tilting ...
