Tutorial on Centrifugal Compressor Surge Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
OPERATION OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS IN CHOKE CONDITIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or
near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable
operation in choke have been established. Based on test data
and numerical data, the behavior ...

Site Performance Testing of Centrifugal Compressors and Gas Turbine Drivers
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
While factory performance tests for compressors and gas turbines are well defined in ASME power test codes, and can be performed under well controlled conditions, site performance tests must be performed under the conditions ...
THE USE OF ACOUSTIC COMB FILTERS TO AVOID CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE BLADE-PASS PULSATION INDUCED PIPING VIBRATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Centrifugal compressor blade-pass interaction periodic pulsation can cause acoustic resonance conditions and pipe vibrations in the suction and discharge lines of the compressor. A series of two or more progressively placed ...
