Dry Gas Sealing Systems for Axial, Centrifugal, Rotary Screw Compressors and Expanders. API 692 1st edition defines design, application, testing, installation, commissioning and start-up requirements for compressor dry gas ...
T5 - An Introduction to Hydrodynamic Bearings as used in Industrial Turbomachinery
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This course is intended for engineers and technicians working with critical rotating equipment, it will also benefit managers and supervisors that have some rotating equipment responsibility. While most of the material is ...
CST07 - Blade failure analysis for steam turbines used for driving centrifugal compressors
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Blade failure was caused by a huge alkaline element of Na flowing into the steam turbine from upstream due to improper water treatment. In this presentation, we will inform the reason why Na precipitated in dry steam ...
CST03 - Part 1: High Reliability Pistons for Reciprocating Compressors in High Wear Situations
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Reliability and performance related issues of pistons and cylinder rings can be avoided in the vast majority of cases and the piston should never be the MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) bottle neck. Even for non-lube machines ...
CST04 - Radial Subsynchronous Vibration Caused by Axial Vibration
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This case study presents a presence of radial subsynchronous vibration during mechanical running tests of High Pressure Compressor following API 617 requirement. During the tests it was investigated how the lateral vibration ...
TL07 - Direct Head Measurments for Turbomachinery Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The isentropic head is one of the most important physical properties for the design and testing of compressors and turbines. It is a critical parameter for the determination of machinery work and power from test data and ...
TL08 - Addressing High-Subsynchronous Vibrations in a Turboexpander Equipped with Active Magnetic Bearings
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This paper presents the experience of the authors with a turboexpander (TEX) equipped with active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in a natural gas processing facility. The TEX was unable to achieve design performance due to high ...
