Oil Systems - Design For Reliability
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
The speaker will briefly review the type of problems which have been experienced with lubrication and seal oil systems and their impact upon process compressor train reliability. Recommendations for reducing these problems ...
Turbomachinery Operation And Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
Turbomachinery is sophisticated and complex in order to economically satisfy the process requirements of the petroleum and petrochemical industries. As a result of this increased sophistication and complexity, it is necessary ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 1st Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
Corrosion Problems In Turbines
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
Gas turbines have been experiencing hot corrosion problems for over 25 years. These problems comprise two main types: vanadium attack and sulfidation. This paper deals with the problem of sulfidation corrosion, a name which ...
Real Time Spectral Analysis-Taking The Mystique Out Of This Valuable Maintenance Tool
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
A new "yardstick" for measuring rotating machinery vibration is seen in the real time spectrum analyzer. This paper presents some actual case history data that was analyzed using a real time spectrum analyzer. The object ...
Maintenance Techniques For Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
Manufacture and maintenance of turbomachinery are completely different. The first involves shaping and assembling of various parts to required tolerances while the second involves restoration of these tolerances through a ...
Cold And Hot Alignment Techniques Of Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
The first five years of vibration analysis work on turbomachinery indicated that 60% of the problems encountered were a result of casing-to-casing misalignment.
On-Stream Cleaning Of Turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1973)
On-stream cleaning is regularly practiced on the axial compressors of gas turbines and on steam turbines. Many other turbo machines could be cleaned in service. In fact, the limiting factor is not the machine type, but the ...
Rotor-Bearing Stability
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1972)
This paper presents a survey of the various mechanisms that can cause instability in rotor bearing systems. The occurrence of self-excited instability is of particular importance to the manufacturers and users of modern ...
Industrial Gas Turbine Performance Measurement
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)
An accurate assessment of the performance of an industrial gas turbine, in service, has been the goal of many test programs initiated by users and manufacturers alike. The rewards of such programs often are quite skimpy ...
