Preventing Undetected Train Torsional Oscillations
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)
In the past few years the authors have encountered numerous problems and coupling failures related to unexpected torque fluctuations on applications with reciprocating compressors and on VFD, synchronous motor, and gas ...
Tutorial On Cryogenic Turboexpanders
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)
Cryogenic turboexpanders are used in many applications, including ethylene plants, refineries, gas processing plants, and air separation facilities. They frequently produce the coldest level of refrigeration available in ...
Dramatic Reduction Of Gas Turbine Fouling With Hepa Composite Membrane Air Intake Filters
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2010)
Gas turbines are protected by air inlet filters that remove particulate contaminants to prevent blade fouling and erosion. The most common filters used today are medium grade filters, which are insufficient to capture ...
