Impact of Electricity Deregulation on Industrial Assessment Strategies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
This paper explores many of the changes in typical industrial assessment recommendations, which have resulted from deregulation of the electric and gas industries. While anticipating that energy efficiency would almost ...
World Class Boilers and Steam Distribution System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
“World class” is a term used to describe steam systems that rank in the top 20% of their industry based on quantitative system performance data and energy management for the facility. The rating is determined through a ...
Torsional Vibration Analysis And Testing Of Synchronous Motor-Driven Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
One of the foremost concerns facing turbomachinery users today is that of torsional vibration. In contrast to lateral rotordynamics problems, torsional failures are especially heinous since the first symptom of a problem ...
Subsea Centrifugal Compressor Development - Breakthrough Technology For Oil And Gas Offshore Production.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
As the offshore market faces deepwater production challenges, the oil and gas industry is investing in new technologies to bring down the costs in the subsea fields exploitation. A breakthrough technology solution is the ...
New Designs And Applications For Increased Power Recovery And Improved Reliability In FCC Expanders.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) hot gas expanders were developed in the early 1960s and were improved in the early 1980s with updates in airfoil technology. Since then, units designed for pressure ratios of approximately ...
Practical Use Of Rotordynamic Analysis And Troubleshooting Skills To Correct A Long-Term Synchronous Vibration Problem In An Overhung Turboblower.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The two subject blowers operate in parallel to circulate wet chlorine gas. Both units had large synchronous vibrations that led to multiple bearing failures. After simple rotordynamic studies failed to identify the problem, ...
Demonstration of Natural Gas Engine Driven Air Compressor Technology at Department of Defense Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
Recent downsizing and consolidation of Department of Defense (DOD) facilities provides an opportunity to upgrade remaining facilities with more efficient and less polluting equipment. Use of air compressors by the DOD is ...
Closed-Loop Energy Management Control of Large Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
A case study is presented of a closed-loop control system installed and running at a Pulp and Paper facility in the southeast. A fuzzy logic, ruled-based control system optimally loads multiple steam turbines for maximum ...
