      The Solarex Corporation has designed, built and operated an industrial facility which is totally powered by a Solarex solar electric power system. The solar power system, energy-conserving building and manufacturing ...
    • Lorenzen, Heinrich; Niedermann, Ernst; Wattinger, Werner (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
      The design and application of solid couplings combined with flexible quill shafts for high speed turbocompressors are presented. Solid couplings are rigid in the axial direction. They transmit any residual thrust from one ...
    • Mohan, N.; Ferraro, R. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      This paper presents and discusses techniques for energy conservation by reducing losses in ac motor driven systems, proposed by the technical community in response to surging cost of energy. An important aspect considered ...
    • Erlandsson, K. I. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      The cost history of conventional fuels over the past several years has forced a hard search for alternate energy sources. One alternate energy source that has gained more and more acceptance is solid waste. This is the ...
    • Graebel, W.; Rockenfeller, U.; Kirol, L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
      Complex compound sorption reactions are ideally suited for use in refrigeration cycles as an economically viable alternative to CFC refrigerants. Complex compound refrigeration provides a number of energy-saving ...
    • Broerman, Eugene "Buddy" L.; Durke, Ray G. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
    • Leader, Malcolm E. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)
    • Wang, X.; Hong, J.; Deying, L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      With the development of wall reforms, the production scale and engineering applications of energy savings are increasing daily. It is inevitable to aggressively extend production of new energy-saving walls. Based on the ...
    • Sandstede, Heiko; Reischl, Klaus; Leonhard, Martin L. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
      Experience, theoretical and practical, investigations are presented on two radial flow high-speed turbines, which showed unacceptable high subsynchronous vibrations during operation onsite. The first example deals with a ...
    • Bolleter, Ulrich; Schwarz, Diether; Carney, Brian; Gordon, Earl (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1991)
      An output was increased on the Eat-West crude oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, increasing shaft seal failures were encountered. These limited the operation of the pipeline. Surveys on site and detailed model tests with flow ...
    • Deonarine, Stanley (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
    • Blair, Barry J.; Kim, Jong; dos Santos, Marcio Felipe (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Case Study 22: Over a 13‐year span, a major South American oil company’s maintenance department fought high vibrations in three gas reinjection compressor trains. To reduce the chances of machine trips, technicians field ...
    • Valantas, Robert A.; Bolleter, Ulrich (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
      Prudhoe Bay produced water injection pumps suffered serious vibration problems and high balance piston leakage a few months after initial startup. Even though initial pump orientation at low water rates was satisfactory, ...
    • Gozalez, Fancisco; Boyce, Meherwan P. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
      Operating and maintaining key rotating equipment in a petrochemical service and tight economic constraints requires an indepth evaluation in performance deterioration of key gas turbines and axial flow compressor parameters. ...
    • Ganesan, Vijay; Busse, Stephan; Demmig, Sven (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      Lecture 3: Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) are being increasingly employed in oil and gas (O&G) applications due to their better efficiency, reliability and process control when compared to conventional drives. In comparison ...
    • Crooks, K. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
      The demand for lower air temperatures inside the operating room (OR) has placed unrealistic expectations upon existing cued water systems in hospitals. Lower temperatures are required to keep the surgical staff comfortable ...
    • Shatri, Quraisy; Corcoran, Joseph (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
      When a large (3.4 meters long) diaphragm coupling was suspected of causing excessive (120 microns p-p) 1X unbalance vibration between a 90+ Megawatt Gas Turbine and a Propane Compressor in an LNG plant, there was not time ...
