(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Case Study 2: When machinery challenges arise in aging equipment within declining oil and gas facilities it requires innovative solutions taking into account life expectancy, production impact and declining production to ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Case Study 15: This case study is about a typical experience where a steam turbine, which was running at 100 RPM on barring (turning) after overhaul, stopped abruptly and the rotor was found to be seized. The case study ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)In a compressor train driven by fixed speed synchronous motor (>17MW) was discovered a potential torsional problem on the input shaft of the hydraulic variable speed gear during the start-up phase when only low speed shaft ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Case Study 9: Compression systems are designed for the governing process conditions. In the Oil and Gas industry, these conditions are often dynamic and a function of reservoir or field characteristics which have varying ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)API 682 is the leading document for mechanical seals in petrochemical, chemical, and pipeline services worldwide. It has combined the aspects of seal design, testing, standardization, and applications to provide the users ...
