Research Needs for Process Safety Technology
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
Much process safety technology has been developed through the years and now serves as the basis for present-day design standards for process safety in the process industries. This has come about through carefully executed ...
Applying Improved Efficiency Transformers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Today's business and energy conscious environment affords both producers and consumers of electric energy an opportunity to reduce costs and conserve energy through the use of improved efficiency transformers. Various ...
Emerging, Cost-Effective Applications for Desiccant Dehumidification in the U.S.
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Gas-fired desiccant dehumidification systems are
now being specified for many supermarkets, ice
arenas and cold warehouses, with installations now
numbering in the thousands. Their cost effectiveness
is due to the economic ...
Magnetic Bearings - A Primer.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Magnetic bearings have reached the point in their development
where they can be considered a mature technology, and as such,
should gain wide acceptance by the rotating equipment industry.
While current industrial ...
Materials Issues For Users Of Gas Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Material issues are of paramount importance for the reliable and
cost effective operation of gas turbine engines. Because of the high
turbine temperatures, the materials degrade over time, which
requires their repair ...
Acoustic Fatigue Involving Large Turbocompressors And Pressure Reduction Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Much work has been done over the years to predict the potential
for acoustic fatigue in piping systems associated with pressure
reducing systems in the design stage. However, an easily usable
screening criteria for ...
Increased Reliability And Reduction In Long Term Cost Of Ownership Through Proper Spare Rotor Storage, Inspection, Documentation, And Tracking.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Recently, a major chemical company put together a project to
specifically address the repetitive corrosion problem experienced
on the long term storage of critical rotors in a Texas facility.
However, as the strategy ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 27th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Eliminating Oil Leaks By Optimizing Bearing Case Oil Labryinths.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Many pieces of rotating equipment experience oil leaks. Any
piece of equipment with oil fed bearings, such as turbines, motors,
gearboxes, and compressors, are susceptible to oil leaks from the
bearing case seals. Usually ...
Using System Pressure Control to Improve the Compressed Air System at Goulds Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
More and more manufacturers are aggressively pursuing energy-cost management in an effort to become more competitive. At most industrial sites, the compressed air system used throughout the plant is often the single largest ...
