A Study Of Parameters That Affect Pivoted Shoe Journal Bearing Performance In High-Speed Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Journal bearing pad temperatures, oil flow requirements, and power losses can impose limitations on the design and operation of high-speed turbomachinery. Over the past few years, the authors have conducted extensive tests ...
Centrifugal Compressor Noise Reduction By Using Helmholtz Resonator Arrays.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Centrifugal compressors used in the pipeline market generate very strong noise, which is typically dominated by the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonics. The high level of noise is not only very disturbing to ...
Elements Of Mechanical Equipment Life-Cycle Cost Analysis.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Mechanical equipment typically comprises 25 to 35 percent of total capital investment in a new plant project. This percentage usually increases in upgrade, revamp, or debottleneck project. For lump sum turnkey projects, ...
Rotordynamic Design Audits of AMB Supported Machinery
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are a mature bearing technology that is being applied to many new turbomachines. They have become the bearing of choice for most new turboexpander applications. They are seen as a key enabling ...
Dynamic Instabilities in Industrial Compression Systems with Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Compression systems involving centrifugal compressors are designed and operated in a manner to eliminate or minimize the potential for compressor surge, which is a dynamic instability that is detrimental to the integrity ...
Life Cycle Assessment of Turbomachinery for Offshore Applications -- Updated with Field Data
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
About 40 to 50 percent of the power required for the operations of a typical offshore oil and gas platform is used for gas compression. Miranda and Brick (2004) described a comprehensive procedure that could be applied to ...
High Vibrations & Component Failure in Turbomachinery due to Magnetic Currents : Its Detection, Diagnosis & Correction
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Objective: To share with users of Turbomachinery the fact that High Speed Turbomachinery with components possessing Residual Magnetism can produce high shaft voltages & high current, which can lead to severe problem like ...
