Steam Trap Maintenance as a Profit Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Probably one of the most overlooked profit centers in industrial management strategy is savings in energy costs. Every $1 in certified energy savings is often worth over $10 in increased sales. The author has found from ...
Implementing an Energy Management Strategy for a Houston Refinery
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Intense competition and environmental regulation of industries utilizing combustion equipment have motivated many owners and operators to seek ways to reduce costs, improve performance, and minimize emissions. Energy ...
A Common Sense Approach to Energy Issues in Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
This paper was written because energy issues, although viewed as important, often become casualties to equally important, but more urgent production and people problems.
A common sense approach to plant energy issues is ...
Hill Air Force Base Energy Performance Contract
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
This paper describes a basewide energy performance contract in progress at Hill Air Force Base (AFB) near Ogden, Utah. This performance contract differs from many performance contracts in that energy conservation measures ...
Development Of A Noncontacting Seal For Gas/Liquid Applications Using Wavy Face Technology
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
A seal has been developed and tested that incorporates a circumferential wave pattern with a sealing dam formed on a SiC face, using a proprietary process. When run against a flat carbon face, laboratory tests show that ...
Determination Of NPSHR For Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps - A New Approach
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
NPSHR is a significant pump characteristic; it is often taken as a measure of minimum suction head needed to operate a pump satisfactorily. Hydraulic institute, among others, specifies a measurement of procedure for NPSHR, ...
Centrifugal Pump Vibration Caused By Supersynchronous Shaft Instability
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Many centrifugal pump vibration problems are due to synchronous phenomena such as vane-pass frequency energy and running speed energy. To address such problems, guidelines have been developed to assist with their identification ...
ASME B73.1m Pump Reliability Program Formation - A Data Based Approach
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Data are being used to determine business decisions in this day of competitive business. In years past, many business decisions have been made without the data to support them. Today, with the use of new computer programs, ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 13th International Pump Users Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The Suction Performance Of Centrifugal Pumps Possibilities And Limits Of Improvements
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Following a brief description of the general suction performance of pumps and starting from an impeller designed for standard requirements, it will be discussed by which modifications and up to which limit the suction ...
