Investigation and Resolution of Governing Valve Linkage Failure for Compressor Drive Steam Turbine
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Fatigue failure of Governing Valve Linkage Rod end bearing and wear marks on several parts was observed on a extraction steam turbine (driving a centrifugal compressor) after it was in service for more than 9 year. The top ...
Investigation of unexpected Trips in Steam Turbine
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
A 56 MW steam turbine tripped several times over a short period of time
although the trip signal was not sent. A thorough examination of the turbine at site ruled out any problems with the trip system. The pressure data ...
Turbine Basic Knowledge of Steam Turbine Short Course, ST?101/201 Combined
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
It is shown as the outline in this short course that the role of steam turbine, history,
classification, basic structure, components and their function, manufacturing and design
process and control system. And also, the ...
Conventional Servo System to Direct Drive Actuators Why Does It Matter?
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This paper discusses the development of Actuators over a period of time. The purpose of an Actuator (servo system) is to operate steam turbine control valves. With the increasing demand for better control of steam valves ...
