Field Investigation Of Bearing Housing Oil Cleanliness
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The service life of rolling element bearing in centrifugal chemical process pumps is an issue of increasing concern. A key factor influencing bearing service life is the condition of the bearing lubricant. Several industrial ...
Dual Gas Sealing Technology For Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dual gas seals are gaining acceptance by industrial users as a product that offers advantages over conventional liquid lubricated seals. These advantages are measured in terms of controlling emissions, minimizing product ...
The Role Of Off-Design Pump Operation On Mechanical Seal Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Field experience indicates that a high percentage of centrifugal pumps in industrial applications are not operated at their best efficiency point as related to product flow. Dry running, gas ingestion, vibration, cavitation, ...
Enhanced Mechanical Seal Performance Through Proper Selection And Application Of Enlarged-Bore Seal Chambers
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Recent studies of enlarged-bore seal chambers document the influence of chamber design on seal performance. The studies utilize laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), high speed videography, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...
