Rotating Equipment Loss Prevention - An Insurer's Viewpoint.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Accidents involving rotating equipment in chemical, petrochemical,
petroleum, and gas plants can result in damage to other
process equipment and catalysts along with lost production.
Conversely, process upsets, process ...
Design Considerations For Thrust Bearing Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The hydrodynamic thrust bearing load capacity-speed envelope is divided into three major regions by speed. Each region has its own set of limiting physical phenomenon that must be included in the analysis and presents a ...
Waste Management Recommendations in the Texas A&M University Industrial Assessment Center Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The Texas A&M University Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) was one of the four Energy Analysis & Diagnostic Centers (EADC) that began providing waste management, in addition to energy and demand conservation, assessments ...
Utilities Sell Lighting, Cooling and Heating to Large Customers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The electric utility industry is entering an era of unprecedented competition. Competition from traditional sources such as natural gas companies, customer cogeneration, and independent power producers are being joined by ...
Utilities: Emerging Opportunities in Performance Contracting
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Many utilities are struggling to decide on the types services they want to offer their large commercial and industrial customers. A&C Enercom is often consulted to help utilities develop packages of services for these ...
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 ...
Material Problems And Solutions - A Metallurgical Perspective
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Pumps are an essential component of most industrial processes. Reliability is a major concern of pump manufacturers and users, since unexpected shutdowns can have serious and costly implications, including loss of production. ...
