And What Of The Future?
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
A User's View Of Sealless Pumps - Their Economics, Reliability, And The Environment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Numerous surveys have shown that the shaft seal is the dominate root cause of failure for the chemical process pump. These component failures are attributed with the lion’s share of the pump maintenance cost. Moreover, ...
Root Cause Analysis Of Five Costly Centrifugal Pump Failures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Machinery failure analysis and troubleshooting are often pursued in a somewhat haphazard, unstructured fashion. This paper presents a novel, proven, and well focused approach which can quickly lead to the root cause ...
Retrofitting Turbomachinery With High Performance Flexible Dry Couplings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
When planning maintenance of turbomachinery, the proper selection of dry couplings to replace gear couplings should be considered. The basic criteria used when retrofitting flexible diaphragm or disc couplings is discussed.
On Line Power Plant Performance Monitoring
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Maintaining efficient and reliable plant operation is a
prime objective in the generation of power. These are important
considerations for utilities and particularly for Independent
Power Producers as they become a more ...
Indoor Air Quality Observations in Public Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Investigations of indoor air qmlity or indoor
environment problems were accomplished in seven
different Texas schools. The schools were located
in hot and humid climates. Comfort and mildew were
the most frequent complaints. ...
Case Study: Sick Building Syndrome in a Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
An indepth environmental investigation was conducted at a four-story
building officing 1200 employees in Oklahoma. A
preassessment and walkthrough of the facility revealed extensive
ongoing renovations throughout the ...
Air Exchange Rates in New Energy-Efficient Manufactured Housing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
During the 1989-1990 heating season, Pacific Northwest
Laboratory, for the Bonneville Power Administration,
measured the ventilation characteristics of 139 newly
constructed energy-efficient manufactured homes and a
control ...
Duct Leakage Impacts on Airtightness, Infiltration, and Peak Electrical Demand in Florida Homes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Testing for duct leakage was done in 155 homes. Tracer
gas tests found that infiltration rates were three times greater
when the air handler was operating than when it was off.
Infiltration averaged 0.85 air changes per ...
Low Temperature Air Distribution with Ice Storage System: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
This paper discusses the performance of an off peak ice
storage air conditioning system
installed on an office warehouse
building in Dallas, Texas. The
system also incorporates a low
temperature (45 degree) air
distribution ...
