Experimental Evaluation Of High Energy Pump Improvements Including Effects Of Upstream Piping
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The suction-impeller (single-suction) of a 33,500hp, four-stage barrel pump used in boiler feed service at a fossil fuel steam plant experienced operating life ranging from 6.0 to 19 months. Cavitation erosion on the suction ...
Magnetic Bearings As An Impeller Force Measurement Technique
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The technique of measuring steady loads on centrifugal pump impellers via magnetic bearings is demonstrated and shown to be reliable way of clarifying loads, which have been traditionally difficult to determine both ...
Judge The Pump Hydraulic Design Through Numbers Before You Buy
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
A few well established hydraulic design parameters define the internal quality of an impeller design. Becoming familiar with those parameters and understanding their limits will enable pump buyers to make better pump buying ...
