Solid Couplings With Flexible Intermediate Shafts For High Speed Turbocompressor Trains.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The design and application of solid couplings combined with flexible quill shafts for high speed turbocompressors are presented. Solid couplings are rigid in the axial direction. They transmit any residual thrust from one ...
The Development Of An Advanced Mechanical Seal For Slurry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The development of a novel mechanical seal specifically aimed at applications where the sealed medium contains a significant proportion of suspended solids is discussed. It follows the project in detail from the initial ...
Inspection And Quality Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Petrochemical companies are confronted daily with the need for greater equipment reliability and a decrease in the overall maintenance cost. The philosophy and objectives behind inspection and quality control of rotating ...
Design, Construction And Test Of Magnetic Bearings In An Industrial Canned Motor Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The replacement of conventional bearings with magnetic bearings in a canned motor pump is discussed. The primary objective was the development of a long life bearings for canned motor pumps. The research project was a joint ...
Vibration Behavior Of Heber Hydrocarbon Booster Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The Heber Project is a demonstration power plant which operates on a binary cycle using a geothermal heat source. It has four booster pumps in the hydrocarbon working fluid circuit. These pumps have had a long history of ...
The Effects Of Seal Chamber Design On Seal Performance.
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Growing attention has focused on the need to increase meantime between failure (MTBF) for pumps used in the chemical process and refinery industries. Increasingly, discussion has centered on mechanical seals and the benefits ...
An Open Letter To The Pump Industry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
An Introduction And Case History Review Of Active Magnetic Bearings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The concept of magnetic levitation is not a new one and can be easily traced back to the 1800s [1). It is only recently, however, that the congruous technologies of electronic control systems, power electronics, and magnetic ...
Upstream Pumping: New Developments In Mechanical Seal Designs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Conventional mechanical seals are arranged to prevent leakage from a high pressure source. When leakage occurs, it is expected to be from the high pressure area to the lower pressure surroundings. The basic concept of the ...
