Design, Installation, And Test Of A Steam Injection System On An Early Frame 3 Gas Turbine In A Combined Cycle Pipeline Compressor Station.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
The Frame 3 Gas Turbines have proven to be reliable drivers for pipeline compressor stations over the last 25 years. At Transco's combined cycle compressor station, a steam injection system for power augmentation was ...
Rotor Bearing And Shaft Dynamics Redesign Of A Double-Overhung Turboexpander For Reliability Improvement.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
A solution is presented for a lateral rotor and bearing dynamics problem on a high pressure, double-overhung turboexpander with a design operating speed of 57,300 rpm. The rotor has an expander impeller mounted at one end ...
Centrifugal Compressor Performance Enhancement Through The Use Of A Single Stage Development Rig.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)
Despite recent advances in computation fluid dynamics, the complex flows through centrifugal compressor components are still not totally understood. These uncertainties detract from the designer's ability to accurately ...
Case Studies In Turbomachinery Operation And Maintenance Using Condition Monitoring.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
With exceedingly high downtime costs and the need for efficient operation of turbo machinery, integrated condition monitoring, wherein a number of health parameters are analyzed, is becoming increasingly popular in process ...
Compressor Types, Classifications, And Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
The compressor industry has emerged from the decade of the 1980s right sized, streamlined, and computerized. Management trends include a broadening of responsibility for all departments. In order to satisfy these new ...
Major Foundation Repair Of A Twenty Ton Centrifugal Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
In the course of purchasing, installation, and startup of turbomachinery, much attention has been given to process design, machine design, piping design, control systems, and economics. Oftentimes however, there is a lack ...

(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The cooperative effort is described of equipment manufacturers,
the process plant designer and the ultimate user to specify and
design a compressor system that was driven by a 10,500 horsepower
induction motor that was ...
Factors And Preventive Measures Relative To The High Temperature Corrosion Of Blade/Disk Components In FCC Power Recovery Turbine.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Power recovery expander turbines in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) process operate under certain conditions that can adversely affect their performance and operational capability or integrity. For instance, erosion ...
Is The Dry Coupling Really Causing Your Vibration Problem?
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
From time to time vibration probes pick up high vibration at the coupling location on output shafts. Many times the coupling will then be removed and sent to the shop or to the manufacturer for inspection, repair, and ...
Troubleshooting Bearing And Lube Oil System Problems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Information and an approach intended to help engineering and other plant personnel troubleshoot bearing problems and diagnose the mode of bearing failures are presented. Six leading modes of bearing failure (abrasion, ...
