A New Approach to Designing Centrifugal Compressor Surge Control Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Many facilities employ two or more centrifugal compressors, operated in either series or parallel configurations. An accurately designed surge control system that includes multiple compressors with the associated piping ...
Practical Guidelines For Oil & Gas Plant Design Against Sub-Synchronous Torsional Interaction Phenomena
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are widely used in the Oil&Gas industry to enable variable speed operation of motors. These drives use power electronic devices, which produce current and voltage harmonic distortion. They ...
Application of Multi-Megawatt Medium Voltage Motor & Adjustable Speed Drive Packages for Reliable Compression
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Reciprocating Compressors 101 : The User's Perspective
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
This course will present the basic concepts of reciprocating compressor applications from a user’s perspective. There is an introductory section on application basics (why recips?), including selection criteria and industry ...
API 670 5th Edition - An In-Depth Review and Tutorial
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Combined Cycle Power Plants - Emphasis on Gas and Steam Turbine Operations
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The course deals with the cycle analysis in the design and general operation and maintenance characteristics of a combined cycle power plant with emphasis on the major components, such as the gas turbine, the heat recovery ...
Numerical Prediction And Experimental Validation Of Rotor Thermal Instability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The increasing demand of higher efficiency and increased equipment compactness is pushing the modern rotordynamic design towards higher and higher bearing peripheral speeds. Due to the increased viscous dissipation, fluid ...
Hydrodynamic Torque Converters For Oil & Gas Compression and Pumping Applications : Basic Principles, Performance Characteristics And Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Herrmann Foettinger as an alternative to a regular speed changing gear for shipboard propulsion. At that time, mechanical reduction gears for such high power applications were not available. The core idea of hydrodynamic ...
Coupled Torsional and Lateral Analysis for the Determination of the Damping of the First Torsional Mode of Synchronous Motor Driven Compressor Trains
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
This paper deals with the damping ratio D of the 1st torsional mode of synchronous motor driven compressor trains. The damping ratio is a crucial parameter for the torsional start-up analysis and for the lifetime calculation ...
Applying CFD to Solve a Vibration Problem of a Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
This paper presents an application of CFD on solving a compressor vibration problem. The numerical technique was used to calculate the dynamical coefficients of a damper seal with a hybrid hole-pattern - labyrinth ...
