Surge Detection In An Industrial Axial Flow Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Compressor surge can be a disruptive and potentially destructive phenomena in turbocompressors. A surge detection scheme utilized in shop and field testing of a 29,600 hp (22 MW) industrial axial compressor is described. ...
Full Power, Full Pressure, Closed-Loop Test Of A Natural Gas Turboexpander.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
An operator in the Danish part of the North Sea has identified as
critical the ontime startup of a bridge module that is being
developed as a "brown field" extension to a platform complex in
the Danish sector of the ...
Vibrations In Reciprocating Machinery And Piping Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
A wide variety of vibration and failure problems occur in reciprocating machinery and piping systems. Excessive piping vibration problems usually occur when a mechanical natural frequency of the piping system or compressor ...
Magnetic Bearing Operating Experience.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Over the past 10 years, magnetic bearings have been making significant changes to the rotating equipment industry. As magnetic bearing systems become more accepted and the numbers of applications increase, so do the operating ...
The Baffling And Temperature Prediction Of Coupling Enclosures.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Increasingly, turbomachinery users are setting upper limits on coupling enclosure temperatures. This is done either to protect personnel, to ensure the proper operating temperature for bearing oil that leaks past seals (or ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 23rd Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Tilting Pad Bearing Design.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The basics of tilting pad bearing design are discussed to include limits of operation for load, speed, and metal temperature. Optimum temperature sensor locations are recommended for self-aligning and nonaligning tilting ...
General Purpose vs. Special Purpose Couplings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Flexible couplings are a vital part of a power transmission system. What type is selected, how much the coupling costs, and how much effort one spends on selecting a coupling and determining how it interacts with a system ...
Process Safety Management.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Impeller Repair Techniques For Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Successfully repairing centrifugal compressor impellers requires careful consideration and planning. The selection of techniques for inspection, material, and welding procedures are determined by numerous factors. Original ...
