Large Motor Installation And Startup.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
The installation tasks and startup considerations necessary to commission large electric motors are discussed. The tasks are discussed in the usual installation sequence, but some series of tasks may need repetition if the ...
Baseline Mapping Of Discontinuities Through Nondestructive Testing.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
Manufacturers in the compressor industry have experienced an increasing interest by their customers to be able to compare the as manufactured condition of critical components to their subsequent condition over time in ...
The Use Of Honeycomb Seals In Stabilizing Two Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
The stabilizing effects achieved by replacing labyrinth seals with honeycomb seals are described. Although honeycomb seals have been used for some time in high pressure compressors and other turbomachinery applications, ...
The Practical Application Of CFD In The Design Of Industrial Centrifugal Impellers.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
The practical application of computational fluid dynamics software in the industrial turbomachinery design process is discussed. Such codes have been used for years in the design of gas turbines, but have long been ...
Shifting Critical Speeds Out Of The Operating Range By Changing From Tilting Pad To Sleeve Bearings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
One property of heavily to moderately loaded sleeve bearings is the resulting asymmetric stiffness and damping coefficients. These asymmetric properties often result in split first critical speeds. Since the horizontal ...
Safety, Application, And Service Factors As Applied To Shaft Couplings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
Shaft couplings are rated by their manufacturers as to how much torque they can transmit, how much misalignment they can accommodate, and the maximum speed at which they can operate. Still, manufacturers, buyers, or various ...
Saving Energy in Industrial Compressed Air Systems: Issues and Obstacles in DSM Program Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Compressed air systems are among the most common and least efficient electrical end uses in industrial plants. Over 50% of plants use compressed air systems. According to various estimates, between 20% and 35% of the energy ...
Energy Conservation and Efficiency Improvement for the Electric Motors Operating in U.S. Oil Fields
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Because of its versatility, electricity consumption continues to grow all over the world more rapidly than any other energy form. The portion of the United States' primary energy supply used as electricity has expanded ...
Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems for Condensers & Heat Exchangers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Condenser tube fouling contributes up to 50% of the total condenser tube heat transfer resistance. This fouling results in reduced heat exchanger performance, reduced production, increased operational cost, increased back ...
Heat Recovery Steam Generator Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
The paper discusses the applications of Heat Recovery Steam Generator Simulation. Consultants, plant engineers and plant developers can evaluate the steam side performance of HRSGs and arrive at the optimum system which ...
