    • Turbomachinery Bearings and Annular Seals 
      Wisler, Scott; Baumann, Urs; Whalen, John; Kocur, John (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
    • Turbomachinery Operation and Maintenance 
      Forsthoffer, William; Forsthoffer, Michael; Al-Baloshi, Hussain; Holt, Christopher (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
    • TUTORIAL: GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE 
      Kurz, Rainer; Brun, Klaus (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine are the result of a complex interaction of different turbo machines and a combustion system. In this tutorial, we will address the basic characteristics of each ...
    • TUTORIAL: SURGE CONTROL AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR FOR CENTRIFUGAL GAS COMPRESSORS 
      Kurz, Rainer; White, Robert; Brun, Klaus; Winklemann, Bernhard (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      This tutorial discusses the design and function of surge control systems, or more precisely, surge avoidance systems on the basis of the behavior of centrifugal compressors when they interact with compression systems. ...
    • TUTORIAL: TRANSIENT MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS 
      Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Bennett, Jeffrey (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Centrifugal compressors are subject to transient events, such as emergency shutdowns, which can cause energetic surge events during rapid shutdown transients. Many modeling tools are used to predict the behavior of compressor ...
    • Unstable Reading of Accelerometers in Cryogenic Service 
      Marquez, Francisco; Mollath, Robert (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      − RasGas operates over 100 pieces of cryogenic submersible equipment. Approximately 80 % are on pumping service and the rest on expansion service. − These units use two vibration transducers to provide protection and ...
    • Upgrading To Fully-Electric Actuation and Control of Steam Turbines 
      Al-Khateeb, Eyad; Al-Jaafari, Riyadh; Lovejoy, Kim; Al-Sultan, Tariq (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
      The use of an electric actuator for steam turbine governor valve operation is a cutting-edge technology in steam turbine control. With this design, the use of turbine oil for turbine speed control purposes is eliminated. ...
    • VSD Motor Intermittent Vibrations Excursions 
      Van De Flier, Gertjan; Anwar Syed, Asad (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
    • VSDS Motor Inverter Design Concept for Compressor Trains avoiding Interharmonics in Operating Speed Range 
      Hutten, Volker; Krause, Tim; Beer, Christian; Demmig, Sven (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
      During operation of compressor trains by a variable speed drive system (VSDS), integer and non-integer harmonic currents are generated in the inverter. Via the electrical system of the inverter and the motor, an excitation ...
    • World’s First Aeroderivative Based LNG Liquefaction Plant – Design, Operational Experience and Debottlenecking 
      Meher-Homji, Cyrus; Richardson, Gary; Roberto Biagi, Fernando; Messersmith, David; Weyermann, Hans; Pattrick, Paul; Gravame, Francesco (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
      The Darwin LNG Facility is the world’s first liquefaction facility to utilize high efficiency aeroderivative gas turbines for its refrigeration compressors. The plant’s design, startup, successful operation for over ...
