Turbomachinery Health Measurement Application And Misapplication
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
All machinery vibrates, has heat generated internally, and begins to wear as soon as it is put into service. The monitoring process must be customized for each class of equipment. If possible, each machine should be evaluated ...
Emergency Turbine Repair Procedures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Emergency repairs of a cracked steam turbine disc can be accomplished effectively by using sound basic engineering principles. One such method used to expedite a repair is reported.
Dry Gas Compressor Seals
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Dry gas seals can eliminate some of the conventional problems associated with seal oil systems. Increased safety, lowered maintenance and improved reliability are key considerations for retrofitting with gas seals. ...
