Pad Temperature In High Speed, Lightly Loaded Tilting Pad Journal Bearings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
The principal results from an extensive experimental investigation of the steady state characteristics of tilting pad journal bearings are presented. The conditions examined were primarily concerned with operation at high ...
Experience With Empirical Criteria For Rotating Stall In Radial Vaneless Diffusers.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
A seven stage, centrifugal compressor, for gas lift service on a North Sea oil production platform, exhibited subsynchronous shaft vibrations during full load, high density, factory tests. Pressure transducers in each stage ...
Dry Gas Seal Retrofit.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Conventionally lubricated shaft sealing systems have long been known to be unreliable, high in maintenance and in some cases hazardous in centrifugal compressors. Labyrinth sealing systems, while generally low in maintenance, ...
Development And Field Application Of A Single Rotor Design Dry Gas Seal.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Improving centrifugal compressor seal performance and reliability can be accomplished through development of new technology and/or by improvement of existing technology. An improved dry gas lubricating seal of single rotor ...
Experiences In Analysis And Monitoring Compressor Performance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Evaluations of life cycle costs in typical turbomachinery installations have shown that for reliable machines, energy costs normally far outweigh purchase, installation, and maintenance costs. Experience has shown that ...
An Application Of A Hydrostatic Pressure Lift System For Control Of Variable Thrust Loads.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Thrust bearing failures on older equipment, especially large steam turbines, can be costly problems to remedy. A unique solution to a steam turbine thrust bearing problem that confronted Southern California Edison (SCE) ...
Factors And Preventive Measures Relative To The High Temperature Corrosion Of Blade/Disk Components In FCC Power Recovery Turbine.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Power recovery expander turbines in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) process operate under certain conditions that can adversely affect their performance and operational capability or integrity. For instance, erosion ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 24th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Is The Dry Coupling Really Causing Your Vibration Problem?
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
From time to time vibration probes pick up high vibration at the coupling location on output shafts. Many times the coupling will then be removed and sent to the shop or to the manufacturer for inspection, repair, and ...
Troubleshooting Bearing And Lube Oil System Problems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Information and an approach intended to help engineering and other plant personnel troubleshoot bearing problems and diagnose the mode of bearing failures are presented. Six leading modes of bearing failure (abrasion, ...
