A New Method For Secondary Containment Of Emissions From Primary Seals
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Recent industrial advances in secondary containment methods have increased the role of secondary containment systems in environmental corporate strategies aimed at lowering the risks associated with leakage from primary ...
Cavitation And Recirculation Troubleshooting Methodology
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
High reliability and large rangeability are required of pumps in existing and new plants which must be capable of reliable on-off cycling operations and especially low load duties. The reliability and rangeability target ...
Controlling Emissions To Atmosphere Through The Use Of A Dry-Sliding Secondary Containment Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Increasing concern over the emission of hazardous compounds to the atmosphere has led to stricter regulations regarding the acceptable amount of leakage from pumps. This is forcing the users and manufacturers of pumps and ...
Canned Motor And Magnetically Coupled Pumps - Applications, Operations, And Maintenance In A Chemical Plant
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The environmental requirements that drive chemical producers to move more and more to the use of the “sealless” pump are described. The development of the sealless pumps in the European industrial community and their ...
Design And Testing Of A Zero-Net Radial Taper, Radially Compliant Face Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Conventional seal designs, the net radial taper changes with operating conditions so that contact is not always maintained across their entire width and leakage can occur. The “zero-net” face seal combines two ideas to ...
Enhanced Mechanical Seal Performance Through Proper Selection And Application Of Enlarged-Bore Seal Chambers
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Recent studies of enlarged-bore seal chambers document the influence of chamber design on seal performance. The studies utilize laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), high speed videography, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...
The Use Of Wavy Face Technology In Various Gas Seal Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Wavy face technology in mechanical face seals is the use of circumferential waves manufactured into a seal face. This unique wavy shape is bidirectional, can be used in liquids, gases or combination, and incorporates a ...
An Innovative Upgrade And Performance Rerate Of Large, High Speed, High Temperature, Multistage Barrel Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
High pressure hydrocracker charge is one of the most arduous services for multistage centrifugal pumps in the refining industry. Future plant capacity requirements of the hydrocracker unit at a United Kingdom site required ...
Sleeve Type Bearings And Their Lubrication Systems In Vertical Turbine Pumps, Mixed Flow And Axial Flow Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Shafting and different sleeve type bearing systems, and the associated lubrication arrangements to support these systems in vertical diffuser type pumps, are discussed.
Dry Running Tests Utilizing Silicon Carbide Bearings And Polymer Lubricating Strips With Conductive And Nonconductive Containment Shells In An ANSI Magnetic Drive Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
As users continue to turn to sealless pumps to solve their leakage (emission) problems they are demanding robust designs that are more tolerant of system upsets and have the ability to survive short periods of dry running. ...
