Bearing Maintenance Practices To Ensure Maximum Bearing Life
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Reliability of centrifugal pumps is heavily dependent on bearing reliability. The bearings that support the impeller shaft are complex machine components whose service life is directly affected by: Contamination (both ...
Co2 Capture And Pumping
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Design Of Pump Casings: Guidelines For A Systematic Evaluation Of Centrifugal Pump Pressure Boundary Failure Modes And Their Mechanisms
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
This document contains recommendations of rigorous pump casing design techniques. A comparison of different design methods is made. The most sophisticated of these is then described in detail. Finally, a list of design ...
Modification Of Bb1 Pump Vibration Characteristics To Meet ISO 13709 2nd Edition (API 610 11th) Limits
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2012)
Witness Testing Of API 610 Centrifugal Pumps And API 611 Steam Turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
The tutorial outlines the basic concepts and offers some tips on witness testing of API 610 centrifugal pumps and API 611 steam turbines. The section on API 610 pump testing discusses performance, NPSH and mechanical run ...
Vertically-Suspended Pumps With Water-Lubricated Rubber Bearings - Experimental Identification Of Dynamic Stiffness Coefficients
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Design and development of vertically-suspended water pumps requires good understanding of the rotor system characteristics with water-lubricated rubber bearings (WLRB). This paper presents a newly-built experimental device ...
Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Achieving lowest possible life cycle cost (LCC) and valueoptimized mean-times-between-repairs (MTBRs) are the undisputed goals of thoughtful pump users. Achieving these goals requires concentrating not only on pump hydraulics, ...
Design And Verification Testing Of New Balance Piston For High Boost Multiphase Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
In 2011, the first Subsea Multiphase Pump (MPP) able to deliver a differential pressure of 2175 psi (150 bar) was introduced to the market. This major innovation for the subsea industry conquered the 17 year old 725 psi ...
New Advances In Pulse Width Modulated Slip Power Recovery Drives For Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2012)
Since its invention by Nikola Tesla in 1888, the alternating-current (AC) motor has been a critical driver for the industrial age. One of his original three patents was the wound rotor induction motor (WRIM). Later, ...
