    • Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs 
      Bloch, Heinz P.; Lee, Buddy (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2012)
    • Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs 
      Bloch, Heinz P. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
      Of the numerous process centrifugal pumps undergoing repair right this very minute, an estimated 90% have failed randomly before. Some have run just fine until the very first repair two or three years after startup, and ...
    • Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs 
      Bloch, Heinz (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
      Achieving lowest possible life cycle cost (LCC) and valueoptimized mean-times-between-repairs (MTBRs) are the undisputed goals of thoughtful pump users. Achieving these goals requires concentrating not only on pump hydraulics, ...
    • Bridging the Gap Between Commissioning Measures and Large Scale Retrofits in Existing Buildings 
      Bynum, J.; Jones, A.; Claridge, D.E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
      Most often commissioning of existing buildings seeks to reduce a building's energy consumption by implementation of operational changes via the existing equipment. In contrast, large scale capital retrofits seek to ...
