(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)Within most plants there is often a desire to extend the time between outages. Several factors determine this but one to consider is the bearings ability to run for the extended time. This Tutorial will address common ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)Increasingly, turbomachinery users are setting upper limits on coupling enclosure temperatures. This is done either to protect personnel, to ensure the proper operating temperature for bearing oil that leaks past seals (or ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)Two stage BB1 style pump. Lean Solutions service in Gas Separation Plant. Operating at 6075 gpm with 1470 ft of head. Running Plan 53C for mechanical seals. Recently rebuilt and new seals installed
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)There are many good references for classical balance problems; however, specific ways of handling non-ideal conditions are rarely presented. Therefore, this tutorial focuses on six case histories, which illustrate actual ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1986)Due to the complex dynamic behavior of gear-driven centrifugal turbocompressors, selection of the proper balancing and assembly procedures is essential to obtain a smoothly running rotor. Rigid and flexible balancing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)In this paper, we will consider only the problem of synchronous rotor response due to unbalance. There are numerous complex nonsynchronous vibrations that can occur in rotating machinery. Quite often the nonsynchronous ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)Multistage cryogenic pump rotors are vertically oriented and supported radially by three bearings. However, while the rotors are oriented vertically and supported in three planes, they are balanced horizontally in two-plane ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)The increased use of pressurized and non-pressurized dual mechanical seals has driven more installations to require the use of barrier and buffer fluids. While some end users have viewed the selection of barrier fluids as ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)Manufacturers in the compressor industry have experienced an increasing interest by their customers to be able to compare the as manufactured condition of critical components to their subsequent condition over time in ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)This tutorial provides a straightforward explanation of how a reciprocating compressor works relying heavily upon the pressure- volume diagram (P-V diagram) as a point of reference. The discussion begins with a thorough ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)Rotary screw compressors are widely used today in chemical and petrochemical refining, gas processing, and in the oil patch. Common applications include refrigeration using hydrocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Customer has four 4x8x13 BB1 booster pumps for produced water injection. One pump was recently repaired and ran for only 4 months. Typically these pumps run about 16-18 months. Before shutting down the pump it had a high ...
