Field Investigation Of Bearing Housing Oil Cleanliness
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The service life of rolling element bearing in centrifugal chemical process pumps is an issue of increasing concern. A key factor influencing bearing service life is the condition of the bearing lubricant. Several industrial ...
Mag Drive Pumps: Why They Work - How They Fail
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
As the use of magnetic drive pumps become more popular and sometimes demanded, knowing how to install, operate and troubleshoot mag drive pumps becomes essential. System design, purchasing, installing, and commissioning ...
Applying Variable Speed Drives With Static Frequency Converters To Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Today, the variable speed drive with AC motor and static frequency converter is an outstanding solution to control the speed of turbomachines in the power range up to 100 MW and more. A wide selection of variable speed ...
Dynamic Data Analysis Of Compressor Rotating Stall.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Techniques for rotating stall verification and analysis of detrimental effects are described. Majority of dynamic pressure data presented herein are from centrifugal compressors, including one unit that required field ...
Expander Field Remanent Life Analysis And Assessment.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The operating temperatures of hot gas expanders can cause degradation in the material capabilities of both the rotating and stationary components. For this reason, many of the components of the expanders are life limited. ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 25th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Rotating Equipment Loss Prevention - An Insurer's Viewpoint.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Accidents involving rotating equipment in chemical, petrochemical,
petroleum, and gas plants can result in damage to other
process equipment and catalysts along with lost production.
Conversely, process upsets, process ...
Design Considerations For Thrust Bearing Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The hydrodynamic thrust bearing load capacity-speed envelope is divided into three major regions by speed. Each region has its own set of limiting physical phenomenon that must be included in the analysis and presents a ...
Surge Detection In An Industrial Axial Flow Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Compressor surge can be a disruptive and potentially destructive phenomena in turbocompressors. A surge detection scheme utilized in shop and field testing of a 29,600 hp (22 MW) industrial axial compressor is described. ...
Full Power, Full Pressure, Closed-Loop Test Of A Natural Gas Turboexpander.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
An operator in the Danish part of the North Sea has identified as
critical the ontime startup of a bridge module that is being
developed as a "brown field" extension to a platform complex in
the Danish sector of the ...
