Cookson, Timothy J.; Lang, Nicholas G.; Thornton, Edward J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are commonly used today in conjunction with large alternating current (AC) induction motors to drive pumps. The ASD application can provide many operational and energy conservation advantages. ...

Kaiser, Thomas F.; Osman, Richard H.; Dickau, Ralph O. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)The use of variable frequency drives (VFD) in pumping applications with variable-duty requirements provides the user with a variety of benefits, including potentially significant energy savings and improved reliability ...
-
Thorp, Joseph M.; Olsen, Jeffrey A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)A new project to increase the oil produced at Khurais, Saudi Arabia, was the focus of a study to determine the optimal pipeline size and pump combination for a 90.4 mile (145.5 km) long, treated-seawater transfer line ...

Milner, Gerald (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
-
Sugiyama, Michiko; Yamashita, Shuji (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)At the engineering stage of pump stations, the evaluation of the pump vibration is an important consideration. Finite element Method (FEM) is an effective method for prediction of vibration and avoidance of resonance ...

Bloch, Heinz P.; Carmody, Christopher J.; Roddis, Alan (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
-
Graser, Christopher W. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Understand the interaction between the gas required to lubricate the seal and the effect of the gas on pump performance.
-
Lienau, Wolfram; Lagas, Nicolas (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)For the last 20 to 30 years rotordynamic tools with ever increasing simulation capabilities have been available for the design of multistage centrifugal pumps. Nevertheless, customers sometimes still specify criteria ...
-
Buck, Gordon S. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)High temperature services are on of the more challenging applications for mechanical seals. Herein are recommendations and guidelines for selection and application of dual metal bellows seals for use in high temperature ...
-
Martins, Guilherme (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Many centrifugal pump reliability problems are closely related to oversizing of pumps, which leads to highly restricted discharge valve operation, and flowrates are far below the best efficiency point (BEP), which are ...

Shukla, Shyam N.; Kshirsagar, Jagadish T. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Pump intake is designed to provide adequate water supply to pumps. It is essential to design the pump intake to provide fairly uniform and swirl free flow to pumps. However, it is not always possible due to site constraints. ...
-
Tackett, Herbert H.; Cripe, James A.; Dyson, Gary (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)This tutorial is intended to provide an understanding of the fundamental principles of positive displacement reciprocating pumps of both power and direct active types. Topics include: 1. A definition and overview of the ...

Stavale, Anthony E. (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 ...
