This paper discusses the design of a high pressure reinjection centrifugal compressor. This compressor was tested in the manufacturer’s shop under full load to simulate the field operating conditions in terms of inlet/discharge ...

This paper will describe the 570-K high performance industrial gas turbine and provide technical rationale for the design approach and performance limits. Construction details are discussed, including assembly of major ...

A lubrication system for turbomachinery of significant size generally consists of a reservoir, pump, filter, cooler, piping and controls. Experience through the years has indicated design criteria required to minimize ...

This paper is concerned with torsional vibration in the design, development, and fault diagnosis and correction of machine systems. The physical behavior of torsional vibrations in shafting systems and sources of torsional ...

High speed gear drives can be reliable if all the factors influencing their design, application, and operation are considered during the design stages. This paper will discuss the parameters used by gear engineers and the ...

The purpose of this paper is to present some user guidelines for the selection, operation, and maintenance of mechanical end face seals in chemical, petrochemical, and petroleum operations. Though the exact seal requirements ...

An accurate evaluation of the performance of a dynamic rotary compressor is of paramount interest to the builder and user of this type of machinery because it defines the ability of a machine to perform a specific job and ...

The existence of high intensity, low frequency pulsation problems in centrifugal compressor and pump piping systems has now been well documented throughout industry. Strong pulsations have been observed at frequencies ...

An expression of the noise rating of a machine is an important part of its performance specification. Precautions should be taken, however, to make sure that the noise emission specification keeps the true objective in ...

Misalignment of machinery shafts causes reaction forces to be generated in the coupling which affect the machines and are often a major cause of machinery vibration. The reaction forces generated by the couplings are ...
