The Road to a Fully Integrated Asset Management Strategy Applied to Rotating Equipment
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Today most companies around the world are very much
aware of the benefits of improved plant reliability and
the elements necessary to achieve this, such as the
development and implementation of risk-based
equipment ...
DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, AND TEST CAMPAIGN OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST LNG REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR STRINGS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Increasing demand for LNG has driven the
requirement for a significant increase in LNG plant capacity.
Qatargas II (QGII), a joint venture initiated by Qatar Petroleum,
is committed to accomplish this while reducing ...
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS: A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior
of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the
feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the
user judging one of his machines ...
HIGH FLOW PROTECTION FOR VARIABLE SPEED PUMPS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Low flow operation is a well-known cause of centrifugal pump failures and thus it is a custom to have low flow protection. On the other hand, protecting pumps from excessively high flow is usually not considered during ...
Preventing Unstable Operation of a Synthesis Compressor Using Dynamic System Simulation
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
• An example of unexpected dynamic response
• Results of an analysis using modeling of the complete
compressor installation
1. Lay-out of the compressor system
2. Description of the problem
3. Measurements
4. Analysis ...
Solving Sub-synchronous Vibration Problems on Butadiene Compressor with VSDS Drive
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Vibration Analysis of Gas Turbine’s Transportation Carrigage and Warranty Issues
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This paper describes the investigation of whether the vibration shock limits were exceeded on the transportation of 2 gas turbines. This investigation was requested due to an improper suspension type of the carriage used ...
Applying Upstream Pumping Sealing Technology for high corrosive fluid – Improve Reliability & Operating Cost
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This is a mechanical seal upgrade case study about applying advanced upstream pumping technology instead ofconventional tandem seal arrangements with external flushing in high corrosive fluid pump seal applications in order ...
Rotor Magnetization in Turboexpander and its Effect on Vibration Readings
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
A magnetized rotating machine behaves like an electrical generator. It often produces localized stray current that usually discharges across small clearance paths imposing damage to machine internals and vibration probes. ...
Transient Unbalance of a Turbo-Compressor Rotor due to Thermal-Gradient Induced Bow from a Seal Gas Heater
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
