    • BEARING LOAD ANALYSIS OF RECIPROCATING PISTON COMPRESSORS 
      Fritz, Bernard; Baldussu, Alessandro; Brandl, Andreas (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
      Many problems in today’s industrial environment require smart modeling assumptions in order to make them numerically accessible with an acceptable amount of effort. This case study shows how a field problem (main bearing ...
    • CST03 - Part 1: High Reliability Pistons for Reciprocating Compressors in High Wear Situations 
      Brandl, Andreas; Ladd, John (Turbomachinery Laboratory; Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])
      Reliability and performance related issues of pistons and cylinder rings can be avoided in the vast majority of cases and the piston should never be the MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) bottle neck. Even for non-lube machines ...
    • High Reliability Pistons for Reciprocating Compressors with Validated Performance Modelling 
      Ladd, John; Hermonat, Bruce; Brandl, Andreas (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      Piston ring leakage on reciprocating compressors is predictable due to defined leakage paths at the end gaps of piston rings. A new engineering approach quantifies the slippage and determines the dynamic pressure difference ...
