Ensure Continuous Power to Critical Industrial Processes with the New Superconducting Storage Device (SSD™)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
Long-term outages have been effectively reduced by
electric utilities. However, momentary voltage disturbances are
increasing on power systems across the country.
Simultaneously, most industries have increased the use ...
Natural Gas as a Boiler Fuel of Choice in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
Natural gas is abundant, clean burning, and cost competitive with other fuels. In addition to superior economic fundamentals, the expanded use of natural gas will be enhanced by political and industry leaders. Natural gas ...
Monitoring the Performance of a Residential Central Air Conditioner under Reduced Evaporator Air Flow on a Test Bench
(Texas A&M University, 1992-11)
This report presents results from degraded performance measurements of a residential air conditioning system operating under reduced evaporator air flow. Experiments were conducted using a R-22 three-ton split-type cooling ...

Evaluation Of Coatings For Resistance To Abrasive And Adhesive Wear In Pump Components
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Long term pump efficiency and durability are directly related to the ability of materials of construction to resist various forms of wear. The need for resistance to both adhesive and abrasive wear is often greatest in ...
Temporary Repair Of A Large Axial Blast Furnace Motor-Blower As A Solution For A Steel Mill Operational Continuity.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
The repair work of a large axial blower that had its rotor and stator blades severely damaged is described. The 43 MW axial air blower is of critical importance for a large steel mill in Brazil, and the repair time was of ...
Applying The Probabilistic Fitness-For-Service Concept For Assessing Reliability Of Weld Repaired Steam Turbine Rotors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
The cost savings and fast turnaround offered by weld repair of turbomachinery rotors results in significant advantages to the end user when faced with the possibility of having to replace the rotor. However, it also carries ...
An Experience With Nonstandard Coupling Application.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
The selection of flexible couplings is often considered to be routine because there are a variety of proven designs available. A compressor retrofit that required variance from standard coupling design practice is discussed, ...
