(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)Determining the cause of a crankshaft failure which resulted in significant collateral damage within an Oxygen compressor safety barrier can be challenging despite having the industry recommended instrumentation. This case ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2022)Shortly after start-up of a new 4 throw 3 stage reciprocating compressor, high motor vibration was recorded on a machinery monitoring system. The single bearing motor vibration levels reached 260 microns (10.25 mils) during ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)In order to ensure safe, reliable, efficient and cost effective operation of reciprocating pumps, pump dynamics should not be ignored. Pump problems due to dynamics are often difficult to diagnose and solve. Dynamic problems ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)The working mechanism and life expectancy of automatic pump check valves, which are important for the operational safety of oscillating displacement pumps, are closely examined. A calculation process for the determination ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)A process recycle gas compressor was needed that would be highly reliable and tolerant of suction contaminants of sticky material that is abrasive and corrosive. Squeeze film dampers, pinched diffusers, and other technologies ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)A case study of the redesign of a syngas compressor drive turbine is presented. The unit was installed as part of a relocated ammonia plant, and experienced reliability and performance problems from the start. A completely ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)Impellers of centrifugal compressors may experience resonance with vane passing frequencies, especially when operated away from the design conditions. Resonance can cause a serious structural damage to impeller. Complete ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)Two similar large steam turbines in an ethylene plant are profiled. One drives the cracked gas compressor train and the other drives the propylene refrigeration compressor. The two machines are similar and this paper ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)A six stage mechanical drive steam turbine rated at 13,300 hp was installed at a petroleum facility in Texas to drive a multistage centrifugal compressor used in recycle gas service on a high pressure hydrogen cracker. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)Turbomachines that run well above their fundamental lateral critical speeds (super-resonant), and are not heavily influenced by higher vibrational modes, can often benefit from reductions in shaft stiffness to lower the ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1987)Standard ANSI pumps are adequate for most services. In installations where they do not give adequate service, however; upgrades are available to improve reliability. These should be selectively applied to obtain the maximum ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)Advancements in the science of sealing technology have had a dramatic effect in increasing equipment reliability and reducing the cost of equipment ownership. One such area of success has been the pumping cryogenic fluids ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Recently much attention is being given to the total cost of pump ownership. In many cases, for process plants, the cost of unscheduled maintenance can become critical since these costs can impact production runs and result ...
