MAD-AIR (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)Forced air heating ard air corditioning duct systems in residential housing have been largely overlcoked in house diagnostics. Even the building is itself a part of the overall ir distribution system. When a duct system ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)As the use of magnetic drive pumps become more popular and sometimes demanded, knowing how to install, operate and troubleshoot mag drive pumps becomes essential. System design, purchasing, installing, and commissioning ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)Over the past 10 years, magnetic bearings have been making significant changes to the rotating equipment industry. As magnetic bearing systems become more accepted and the numbers of applications increase, so do the operating ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)The design, integration, and implementation of a successful project to retrofit a high speed, eight stage centrifugal compressor with magnetic bearings and gas face seals is presented. The application is removal of light ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)Magnetic bearings have reached the point in their development where they can be considered a mature technology, and as such, should gain wide acceptance by the rotating equipment industry. While current industrial ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)The design considerations and features along with manufacturing and operating experiences encountered on a multistage centrifugal process compressor incorporating a dry gas seal and active magnetic bearings immersed in the ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)The technique of measuring steady loads on centrifugal pump impellers via magnetic bearings is demonstrated and shown to be reliable way of clarifying loads, which have been traditionally difficult to determine both ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)Pump fugitive emissions can now be controlled to near zero levels by the use of a simplified dual seal system. A magnetic fluid secondary seal traps any vapors that leak past the primary mechanical seal. This arrangement ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)Centrifugal pump design plays an essential role in the safe operation of any refinery or chemical processing plant. In analyzing the performance of centrifugal pumps, pump operating time to failure is almost always limited ...
