Nuclear Waste Transfer Pump - Design, Analysis, Testing, And Operation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
There was a time when people worked on radiologically contaminated equipment with a low level of protection, when equipment leakage was considered unavoidable, and when contaminated equipment was disposed of with little ...
Developing Fixed-Fee Seal Agreements To Improve Pump Reliability
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Long-term contractual agreements between a mechanical seal supplier and an end-user have proven to be a very effective method for improving equipment reliability. Successful agreements change the focus of a user/supplier ...
Mass Customized Design And Manufacturing System Of Advanced Hydraulic Parts
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
This paper describes a production system for hydraulic parts. The system allows the rapid development and fabrication of hydraulic parts for custom-made pumps through the integration of innovative means and the positive ...
A Comparison Of The Application Of Centrifugal And Positive Displacement Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
There are very basic differences between the centrifugal and positive displacement pump. This paper discusses some of these aspects. It is not intended to be highly theoretical, but deals with the practical differences ...
Pump Performance And Energy Efficiency Improvement Through Pump Refurbishment And Internal Coatings Of Horizontal Split Case Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Vibration Problems (Acoustical And Bearing Housing Resonance) Resolved On Centrifugal Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Installing VFDs on pumps that were formerly constant speed pumps can cause new vibration problems to be encountered. Acoustical resonance conditions can occur in the long cross over. New methods of measuring acoustical ...
A Vibration Problem In Vertical Circulating Water Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Pump Baseplate Resonance Responsible For Large Piping Vibration And Component Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Road To Reliable Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
The purpose of this paper is to take a “back to basics” look at installation issues that affect pump reliability. Topics of hydraulic fit, baseplate installation, shaft alignment, and piping alignment will be discussed.
Numerical Simulation On A Pump Operating In A Turbine Mode
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
This paper deals with pump as turbine (PAT) as a feasible solution to the energy problems in rural and hilly areas. PAT provides an economical alternative to actual turbines especially for pico and microhydropower generation. ...
