Protecting Magnetic Bearings from External Factors and Process Contaminations
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
C' Type PTFE Gaskets Performances In High Pressure Sour Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
CO2 Compression At World's Largest Carbon Dioxide Injection Project
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Compressors for carbon dioxide (CO2) applications have been widely used in the O&G industry for urea production, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 pipeline services for many years. New environmental challenges have ...
Hydrate Occurrence in Centrifugal Compressor Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Gas Seal Contamination
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Design of seals and sealing systems requires multidisciplinary skills and deep understanding of interactions between the seals and its environment. This paper proposes to present typical gas seals contaminants and corresponding ...
Effectiveness of Windage Features on High Speed Couplings
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Following the changes to API 671, there is a requirement to reduce temperature around guarded coupling designs. Existing features used in high performance (HP) couplings involve various methods of shrouding and covering ...
Pulsation, Vibration, And Noise Issues With Wet and Dry Screw Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Although wet (oil injected) and dry (oil free) screw compressors are widely used in many applications, limited information is available regarding the pulsation, vibration, and noise problems associated with these types of ...
Fixed Speed Compressors Operation In Offshore Production Platforms
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
This paper discusses the use of centrifugal compressors with fixed speed in offshore production units using as reference the experience of the Petrobras’ Rio de Janeiro Operational Unit. The operational and maintenance ...
Torsional Natural Frequencies: Measurement Vs. Prediction
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Excessive torsional vibration can cause damage or failure to rotating equipment trains thereby resulting in costly shutdowns. A comprehensive torsional vibration analysis is the typical method of designing a torsional ...
