Effect Of Relative Journal Bearing And Honeycomb Seal Direct Stiffness On Radial Synchronous Vibrations Of High-Pressure Centrifugal Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
High pressure compressors are commonly equipped with honeycomb seal on the balance piston, as an effective mean to improve the rotordynamic stability of the system. The gas leakage flow across the honeycomb seal clearance ...
Rotor Balancing Tutorial
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The purpose of this tutorial is to describe details related to shop and field balancing of turbomachinery. The target machinery is API type turbomachinery such as steam turbines, compressors, and other rotating machinery ...
Subsea Compression - Current Technology and its Use to Maximize Late Life Production
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Oil and gas production from offshore fields has been established since the second half of the last century. The continuous need and search for new fossil resources has driven the technology to adapt towards harsher and ...
Compressor Loadsharing Control And Surge Detection Techniques
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Centrifugal compressor trains operating in parallel or series arrangements are complex when it comes to turbomachinery control. Methodologies for controlling compressor trains in these arrangements piping layout considerations ...
Comparison Of Two- And Four-Pole Vsd Motors Up To 4000 RPM
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Electric motors were originally developed for Directly-on-Line (DOL) operation. The speed of a motor was determined by the number of poles. A two-pole motor was used to reach 3600 rpm with 60 Hz grid frequency, and the ...
Basic Thermodynamics Of Reciprocating Compression
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
This tutorial provides a straightforward explanation of how a reciprocating compressor works relying heavily upon the pressure- volume diagram (P-V diagram) as a point of reference. The discussion begins with a thorough ...
