    • Design And Operation Of A Nonpressurized Dual Gas Seal In Light Hydrocarbons 
      Cooper, Mark; Parker, Joseph C. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
      A major producer of ethylene installed and is successfully operating a nonpressurized dual gas seal in liquid methane service. The least reliable pump in the unit was a single stage overhung centrifugal pump in demethanizer ...
    • 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 ...
    • Influence Of Gas Seals On Pump Performance At Low Suction Head Conditions 
      Turley, Roger S.; Dickman, David L.; Parker, Joseph C.; Rich, Robert R. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
      Pressurized gas seal technology has been applied successfully to many types of equipment, in various processes, and under diverse operating conditions. Using a readily available gas supply, typically nitrogen, the seal is ...
    • 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, ...
