Dry Gas Seals. Monitoring a Tandem Dry Gas Seal's Secondary Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Tutorial 19D: Rotating equipment and instrument engineers working with dry gas seals should attend this tutorial to increase their knowledge of methods for monitoring secondary seals. Over the last several years a number ...
Dry Gas Seals. Wet Seal to Dry Gas Seal Conversion - Considering the Benefits of Retrofitting Your Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Tutorial 19C: Dry gas seals are specified in most of the new centrifugal compressors; yet many installed units are still equipped with conventional oil sealing systems. The benefits of dry gas seals conversions from ...
Abrupt Stoppage of Turbine Rotor, Running on Barring after Major Overhauling
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Case Study 15: This case study is about a typical experience where a steam turbine, which was running at 100 RPM on barring (turning) after overhaul, stopped abruptly and the rotor was found to be seized. The case study ...
Hydrodynamic Torque Converters for Oil & Gas Compression and Pumping Applications: Basic Principles, Performance Characteristics and Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Tutorial 20
Stability Considerations - A Simplified Approach
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Tutorial 2: In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the user judging one of his ...
Integrating Dynamic Machinery Performance with Component Condition to Optimize Reliability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
