Safe Diagram - A Design And Reliability Tool For Turbine Blading.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The complex field of turbine blade vibration has long been in need of improved tools to help predict the reliability of blading. The SAFE interference diagram is presented as such a tool. It presents much more information ...
Vacuum Distillation Methods For Lube Oils Increase Turbomachinery Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The lube oils in self-contained reservoirs for turbomachinery in hydrocarbon processing plants are subject to contamination and deterioration from airborne dust, component debris, system corrosion, heat, and water. Oil ...
Application Of Dry Gas Seals On A High Pressur Hydrogen Recycle Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Maintenance and operation of high pressure seal oil systems on centrifugal compressors has been a major problem faced by refinery operators. This problem is intensified when sealing gases like hydrogen and mixtures of ...
Water Contamination Of Steam Turbine Lube Oils - How To Avoid It.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Ever since steam turbines have been built, contamination of the lube oil by water has been a persistent problem. Water contamination will result in rusting of ferrous components, accelerate sludging leading to sticking of ...
Metered Data Analysis and Knowledge Based Methods that Reduce HVAC Operation and Maintenance Problems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Recent reports have highlighted a lower than
expected level of understanding by some consulting
engineers and building operators concerning how to
systematically track operation and maintenance
problems and provide consistent ...
An Overview of the Building Energy Retrofit Research Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This research update presents the status of a
U.S. Department of Energy program that addresses
the technical, financial, and behavioral barriers
to improving the energy efficiency of existing
buildings. The program is ...
Evaluating and Monitoring Energy Conservation in Multibuilding Clusters with Statistical Models
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
A standardized method for modeling
energy consumption in mixed
clusters of residential and commercial
buildings is described. The
basic approach is to delineate energy
consumption along three dimensions:
time, day-length, ...
Improving the Performance of Air-Conditioning Systems in an ASEAN Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper describes an analysis of air conditioning
performance under hot and humid tropical climate conditions
appropriate to the Association of South East Asian
Nations (ASEAN) countries. This region, with over 280
million ...
Development of Revised Energy Standards for Texas Buildings: Preliminary Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
In 1977, the State of Texas published a two-part
Energy Conservation Manual to aid designers,
builders, and contractors in the design of energy-efficient
state buildings. Under the sponsorship
of the Governor's Energy ...
Modeling of Residential Attics with Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper gives a summary of the efforts at
ORNL in modeling residential attics with radiant
barriers. Analytical models based on a system of
macroscopic heat balances have been developed.
Separate models have been developed ...
