Vibration Behavior Of Heber Hydrocarbon Booster Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The Heber Project is a demonstration power plant which operates on a binary cycle using a geothermal heat source. It has four booster pumps in the hydrocarbon working fluid circuit. These pumps have had a long history of ...
A New Computer Program For Pump Rotordynamic Analysis
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
A new computer program for pump rotor analysis has been developed to improve the accuracy of critical speed, stability, and response calculations for multistaging centrifugal pumps. The program capabilities include: (1) ...
The Effects Of Seal Chamber Design On Seal Performance.
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Growing attention has focused on the need to increase meantime between failure (MTBF) for pumps used in the chemical process and refinery industries. Increasingly, discussion has centered on mechanical seals and the benefits ...
An Open Letter To The Pump Industry

Metal Bellows Mechanical Face Seals For High Performance Pump Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Metal bellows seals have been steadily gaining wider acceptance in process and general industrial pump applications. This paper discusses design criteria and advantages of metal bellows seals, and attempts to define ...
New Developed Multistage Variable Speed Drive (MSVD) Of High Economy For The Speed Control Of Pumps With Power Up To 40,000 HP
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
The multistage variable drive, called MSVD, the latest development of a hydrodynamic mechanical drive system is presented. The special characteristics are high efficiency, excellent reliability, and availability, which are ...
Upstream Pumping: New Developments In Mechanical Seal Designs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Conventional mechanical seals are arranged to prevent leakage from a high pressure source. When leakage occurs, it is expected to be from the high pressure area to the lower pressure surroundings. The basic concept of the ...
