Twenty-Three Years Operating Experience With The World's Largest Boiler Feedwater Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
On the American Electric Power system, increases in generating unit size progressed from a 225 megawatt (MW) unit to the 1300 MW units, which remain the largest supercritical coal fired electric generating units in the ...
Troubleshooting Tactics To Improve Pump Mean Time Between Repairs
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Most pump reliability problems are rooted in basic errors that are made in the design, application, installation, maintenance, and/or operation of pumping systems. When the final, “correct,” solution to the system problem ...
Rebuilding Process Pumps To Comply With Fugitive Emissions Standards
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Most states have adopted regulations that limit fugitive hydrocarbon emissions from mechanical seals in centrifugal pumps. In California, limits as low as 100 ppm have been imposed. Users are faced with few choices to meet ...
Pressure Ratings Of Mechanical Seals
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Although mechanical seals are widely used in many machines, there is no universally accepted system for establishing limits of pressure, temperature, and speed. As a result, manufacturers of mechanical seals may use different ...
Pump Life-Cycles And The Internet Utilizing Technology To Improve Pump Reliability
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Information technology, specifically computer mediated communication (CMC), will revolutionize the pump industry, from selection through installation, operation, and maintenance. There will be winners and losers. It will ...
The Application Of Computer Simulation And Real-Time Monitoring To Minimize The Pressure Pulsations In Complex Pumping Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Chemical and process plants usually contain numerous valves and pumps in a complex network of pipe runs. Plant design and pump selection are usually based on steady state design conditions. However, the opening or closing ...
Replacement Of The Boiler Feedpumps During The Retrofit Of The 500 Mw Units At A German Power Station
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
The Janschwalde Power Station consists of six 500 MW units that were commissioned between 1981 and 1989. These units, which were equipped with turbo feedpumps manufactured in Russia, had an average efficiency of only 78 ...
Tutorial On Special Purpose Pumps-Pitot; Progressing Cavity; Air Operated Diaphragm; And Hydraulically Actuated Diaphragm
