Torsional Modal Damping of a LCI Driven Geared Moto-Compressor Train: Evaluation, Optimization Criteria and Active Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The torsional modal response of geared compression trains
driven by Variable Speed Drive Systems (VSDS) can be
heavily affected by electro-mechanical interaction phenomena,
both in terms of excitation mechanism and resulting ...
INFLUENCE OF IMPELLER LEADING EDGE PROFILES ON CAVITATION AND SUCTION PERFORMANCE
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
The cavitation behavior and suction performance of a pump are
largely influenced by the geometry at the impeller eye. A
number of geometric factors at the impeller eye have an
influence on cavitation, such as, the inlet ...
Upgrading To Fully-Electric Actuation and Control of Steam Turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
The use of an electric actuator for steam turbine governor valve operation is a cutting-edge technology in steam turbine control. With this design, the use of turbine oil for turbine speed control purposes is eliminated. ...
Innovative Design in Expander Wheel-Shaft Attachment Replaces Hirth Coupling for High Speed, High Temperature and High Power Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Although this Case Study is focused on an Expander-Generator unit in a geothermal application, it’s findings can be used in all turbomachinery applications where other conventional shaft-wheel attachments are causing ...
Large Steam Turbine Vibration Resonance of Pedestal and Linkage System RCA, Detail Vibration Investigation/Measurement at Site and Countermeasures
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
A Large Steam Turbine had been in operation for several years and this
turbine experienced the wear damage of governor linkage.
Then, measured the vibration velocity profile on Governor side pedestal
to identify the ...
