Polytropic Efficiency Improvements and Sustenance on Centrifugal Compressor: Corrosion Erosion and Impact of Fouling
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 5: This paper presents a case study on the rapid deterioration of compressor polytropic efficiency relating to systemic fouling and corrosion issues. Due to such issues, compressor service life was reduced from ...
Investigation of Steam Turbine Blade Failure
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 19: Blade failure was observed on a backpressure steam turbine (driving a centrifugal compressor) after it was in service for more than one year. This paper presents details of observations, inspections carried ...
Effects of Shaft Geometric Unconformities on the Rotor-Dynamic Behavior in Hard Coupled Equipment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 17: This case study deals with a 25MW turbo-generator train with a semi-rigid connection between generator and gearbox. For this application, machine alignment and connection is a key factor for a smooth ...
Dry Gas Seals. Application of Double vs. Tandem Dry Gas Seal Advantages
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Tutorial 19B: Traditionally double seals have been used for low pressure applications when nitrogen gas at pressure higher than process was available for sealing. Double seals were not applied to low pressure processes ...
