Discussion Group T7 On Machinery Purchasing
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Evaluation of Bearing Designs for a Multistage Centrifugal Compressor Using a Magnetic Exciter
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
The amount of damping in the rotor/bearing system is the key to stability of centrifugal gas compressors, especially for rotors with high slenderness ratio. A full pressure performance test can certainly demonstrate whether ...
Gas Turbine Performance And Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
Simplified Modal Analysis For The Plant Machinery Engineer
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Experimental modal analysis and operating deflection shapes (ODS) are powerful tools in vibration analysis and machinery troubleshooting. However, the machinery plant engineer often doesn’t believe such techniques are ...
Valve Performance And Life Of Reciprocating Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
The operation of a reciprocating compressor is closely linked to the performance of its valves in terms of life and efficiency. Most operators report that the most significant cause of forced outages of reciprocating ...
Discussion Group T4 On Overspeed Trip Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Torsional and Electrical Dynamic Interactions of Compressor Drive Motors and Gas Turbine Driven Power Generators
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Load induced power fluctuations in a pair of synchronous motor driven reciprocating compressor trains have been shown to interact with a gas turbine driven power generation source. Electrical current pulsations predicted ...
Noise Trouble Shooting on a Variable Speed Planetary Gear Application for Off-Shore Process Gas Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
How Important Are The Protection Systems & Valve Design That Can Contribute To The Equipment Integrity On Reciprocating Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Analysis of Rotor Rub in a Large Centrifugal Refrigeration Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
The purpose of this case study is to present an investigation of substantial damage to the rotor of a large centrifugal propane refrigeration compressor that is installed in an 800 MTPA Ethylene plant. After ten years of ...
