Vibration Problems With An Electric Motor For A Centrifugal Pump Installation
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
A case history is presented in which vibration related problems with two pole electric motors have delayed acceptance of the complete pump packages by the end user. Noncompliance with contract specifications led to a major ...
The Shortcomings Of Using Pump Suction Specific Speed Alone To Avoid Suction Recirculation Problems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
There is a mistaken belief in the pump industry (fueled by many publications) that the best way to avoid suction recirculation problems is to design and/or apply only pumps having low suction specific speed values (below ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 10th International Pump Users Symposium
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Application of an Industrial Heat Pump to a Specialty Chemical Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
This paper presents the results of a heat pump study conducted by TENSA Services and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. In the previous phase of this project, a heat pump potential was identified through a rigorous ...
Dow's Energy/WRAP Contest- A 12-Yr Energy and Waste Reduction Success Story
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Keeping employees interested in saving energy and reducing waste is a constant challenge. Ideally, all employees should be personally committed to a philosophy of continuous improvement. Each year, they should routinely ...
Biological Effects of Electrical and Magnetic Fields: Is It Real?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
The hazardous effect of electric and magnetic fields on biological systems is the subject of considerable debate. Traditional methods have failed to provide a correlation between the fields and biological effects. A model ...
Demand Side Dispatching, Part 2: An Industrial Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
As part of their Demand Side Management programs, electric utility companies often offer Time of Use (TOU) or other incentive rates to large industrial clients. Such rates offer potential money saving opportunities to ...
Utilities Inspection Technologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Preventive and predictive maintenance programs are enhanced by using various inspection technologies to detect problems and potential failures before catastrophic failure. This paper discusses successful inspection ...
Dynamic Loading On Pumps - Causes For Vibration
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Some insight into the mechanism which generate lateral dynamic loads, and hence vibrations, on centrifugal pumps is presented in a general way, and the individual loads are explained and quantified. Without extensive use ...
Direct Digital Control- A Tool for Energy Management of HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Direct digital control (DDC) applied to heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems corrects many of the deficiencies of conventional automatic temperature control systems. By applying new control sequences, ...
