    • Dual Gas Sealing Technology For Pump 
      Adams, William V.; Dingman, Randy R.; Parker, Joseph C. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
      Dual gas seals are gaining acceptance by industrial users as a product that offers advantages over conventional liquid lubricated seals. These advantages are measured in terms of controlling emissions, minimizing product ...
    • Enhanced Mechanical Seal Performance Through Proper Selection And Application Of Enlarged-Bore Seal Chambers 
      Adams, William V.; Robinson, Richard H.; Budrow, James S. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
      Recent studies of enlarged-bore seal chambers document the influence of chamber design on seal performance. The studies utilize laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), high speed videography, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...
    • Field Investigation Of Bearing Housing Oil Cleanliness 
      Adams, William V.; Erickson, R. Barry; Needelman, Bill; Smith, Michael D. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      The service life of rolling element bearing in centrifugal chemical process pumps is an issue of increasing concern. A key factor influencing bearing service life is the condition of the bearing lubricant. Several industrial ...
    • The Role Of Off-Design Pump Operation On Mechanical Seal Performance 
      Adams, William V.; Waling, Lee A.; Dingman, Randy R.; Parker, Joseph C. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
      Field experience indicates that a high percentage of centrifugal pumps in industrial applications are not operated at their best efficiency point as related to product flow. Dry running, gas ingestion, vibration, cavitation, ...
