Innovative Design in Expander Wheel-Shaft Attachment Replaces Hirth Coupling for High Speed, High Temperature and High Power Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Expander-Generator unit for a geothermal power plant application experienced ongoing failures during a ten year period. The longest run cycle for the machine was 18 months yet with less than 10 MW power production. The ...
Capacity Improvement of Large, Two Stage Diaphragm Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Two stage diaphragm compressor is used to pressurize a process gas stream. As delivered, compressor produced less than 75% of the required flow rate at the specified suction and discharge conditions. Improvement Goal: ...

Compressor Oil Flow Case Study
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
This is a case study of a new motor-gear-compressor train installation in which the lube oil pressure became an issue during commissioning and startup. This case study will bring to light the hidden communication gaps that ...
Hydrogen Compressor Seal Case Study - Utilizing HALO (Non-Contacting, Compliant) Inter-Stage, Impeller Eye, Buffer and Fail-Safe Seals
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
An end user of a hydrogen compressor in an oil refinery application has identified existing labyrinth seals as a source of compressor inefficiency and a potential cause of rotor- dynamic instability. The objective of this ...
