Turbomachinery Labratory (2005)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Founded in 1971, the faculty and staff of the Turbomachinery Laboratory and Texas A&M University continue to address the need for the pump and turbomachinery industries. We moved into a new building in 1993 that is located ...
Gas Turbine Axial Compressor Fouling And Washing.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
The privatization of utilities, intense competition in the petrochemical and gas distribution industries, coupled with increasing fuel costs, have created a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control ...
Rotating Component Modal Analysis And Resonance Avoidance Recommendations.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Rotating blade and disk fatigue failures cause a fairly small percentage of machine shutdowns, but can require extensive repairs and downtime. This tutorial focuses on steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and axial ...
Resolving A Resonant Fatigue Problem On A Large Radial Inflow Expander.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
A series of failures of radial inflow hot gas expander driving a centrifugal compressor in a nitric acid plant plagued the second author’s former company over a 24 year period. The 19,000 hp single-stage radial inflow ...
Compressor Seal Selection And Justification.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
The sealing of rotating equipment has always presented a special challenge for rotating equipment manufacturers and end users. Shaft seals are provided to restrict or prevent the escape of process or sealing fluids to ...
Turbine Overspeed Trip Protection.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
This paper discusses the design, history, current standards and designs, and the relation between turbine overspeed and the time constant of rotors. Overspeeding of turbine rotors as it pertains to time lag of the overspeed ...
Online Technique To Mitigate The Risks That Limit Expander Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Expander reliability has been limited by flow path erosion, corrosion, and deposition. Through root cause determination of the failures and laboratory testing, advances in machine designs and online monitoring and cleaning ...
