Vibration Monitoring Of Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
The overall concept of vibration monitoring is presented based upon theory and the practical constraints of machinery construction, transducer characteristics and the cost/benefit ratio of available systems. General features ...
Gas Turbine Control Systems Incorporating Condition Monitoring And Fault Tolerance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
Novel concepts in gas turbine control technology incorporating condition monitoring and fault tolerance are described. Concerns with fault tolerance, system reliability, and users functionalities are discussed. The importance ...
An Independent Refiner's Approach - Practical Solutions To Complex Gear Problems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
Numerous failures and near failures spanning the last quarter century have occurred on a 4000 hp, single induction, double helical speed increaser in hydrogen recycle service. A persistent and unexplainable wear pattern, ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 19th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
Rotordynamic And Dry Running Behavior Of A Full Scale Test Boiler Feed Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Excessive rotor vibrations are one of the leading causes of damage to pump components, particularly to bearings, shaft seals, and premature wear of labyrinth surfaces. Under an EPRI contract which was awarded to Sulzer in ...
Design Of Magnetically Driven Chemical Pump To Fit ANSI B73.1 Dimensions Using A Semiopen Impeller
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
A magnetically driven sealless chemical pump was developed that employs high torque rare-earth magnets. Utilizing a semiopen impeller configuration, the pump was designed to fit into the ANSI B73.1 standard dimensional ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 7th International Pump Users Symposium
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
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 ...
