Lifetime of Gas Turbines Hot Section Parts in an O&G Environment
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The main driver to define the time between overhauls of a gas turbine is the life of the hot components. For an Oil&Gas operator, a turbine overhaul represents a major cost and therefore is a key point for performance ...
Field Performance Testing Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Field performance testing is often necessary to verify guaranteed as-installed aerodynamic and mechanical performance of new machinery. It can also be used to monitor long-term machinery performance, track degradation ...
