Pump Energy Conservation Techniques
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Thousands of dollars are wasted annually in a typical petrochemical plant through inefficient operation of pumps. Excess capacity, changing operating conditions, inefficient control, and inadequate maintenance are some of ...
The Laser - As Used In Alignment
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Establishing Your Own Field Balancing Group
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Sulfidation And Its Inhibition In Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
United Technologies Research Center has carefully investigated the detailed mechanisms of gas turbine sulfidation and its inhibitions. Sulfidation, the salt accelerated oxidation of superalloys, is addressed in terms of ...
Benchmark Gauges For Hot Alignment Of Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Vibration Problems Of Large Vertical Pumps And Motors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
A large vertical pump with its associated motor driver constitutes a very complex dynamic system. The apparent simplicity of the visible cantilever portion of the machine belies the complex interaction of the unit with its ...
Alignment Using Water Stands And Eddy Current Proximity Probes
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
This paper covers one of seven techniques in alignment being presented at an alignment tutorium at Texas A&M University’s Ninth Turbomachinery Symposium. The specific procedure will be covered only, without delving into ...
Lateral Vibration Reduction In High Pressure Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Recent designs of high and medium pressure centrifugal compressors show a well-behaved response to forced vibration and an adequate margin to self-excited vibration. This can only be achieved by an extensive rotor dynamic ...
High Speed Balancing Procedures
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
The paper describes elastic balancing procedures and experimental results for turbomachine rotors. The commonly known criteria of static and dynamic balancing no longer apply in this case. The rotating elements are balanced ...
