Improvement Of A High Temperature Bellows Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
An Inconel 718 metal bellows seal has been developed to meet the demands for high temperature applications in corrosive media such as high Sulphur bearing crude oil. Finite element analysis was used to develop concepts ...
Thermal Test Analysis Of Bearing Frame Inline Pumps On High Temperature Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Testing of an API Standard 610[1] bearing frame inline pump at pumpage temperatures up to 650 degrees F is presented. The thermal response throughout the pump, and specifically in the bearing frame area, is quantified. ...
Vertical Diffuser Type Turbine, Mixed-Flow, And Axial-Flow (Propeller) Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Vertical diffuser type pumps, their application, construction, specialties and installation are discussed. Also, system curves and pump curves are handled.
Monitoring Sealless Pumps For Metal-To-Metal Contact Of The Internal Rotor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Monitoring vibration as a predictive maintenance tool will not consistently prevent catastrophic damage and/or fluid release from sealess pumps. When vibration readings are taken periodically, a pump may be destroyed between ...
Sealless Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Magnetic drive and canned motor pumps have many common features including bearing and rotor designs, internal cooling, and lubrication. The primary differences center on the manner in which the rotating magnetic field is ...
Reliability Improvements To A High Pressure, High Temperature, Thirteen Stage Charge Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Reliability of a high pressure charge pump has been a problem for over 20 years. Unplanned unit outages and sometimes fires accompany pump failures. This paper details the joint effort of the OEM and the user to resolve ...
Rotating Equipment Pump Reliability Upgrading Project
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
In 1988, a general performance assessment was undertaken at Shell UK’s Stanlow Manufacturing Complex to review its competitive position in the market place. The review concluded there was a high level of maintenance ...
A Team Approach To Quality Pump Procurement And Installation
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
There are three factors that will enhance smooth equipment startup, operation, maintenance, and reliability in any new process plant: *Initial pump design and selection *Proper installation *Consistent operational support ...
