Gas Turbine Tutorial - Maintenance And Operating Practices Effects On Degradation And Life.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Proactive condition monitoring will allow the gas turbine ...
A Practical Guideline For A Successful Root Cause Failure Analysis.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Root cause failure analysis is a process for identifying the true root cause of a particular failure and using that information to set a course for corrective/preventive action. From a technical standpoint, it is usually ...
Refining Fundamentals (Unpublished).
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Bearing Issues with a Flooded Screw Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Startup of Parallel Turbo Expander-Compressor Units Operating in Hydrocarbon Processing Plants
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Torsional Oscillation Trouble on VFD Motor Driven Recip Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
High vibration problems including failed coupling parts on a VFD motor driven reciprocating compressor are analyzed and the root causes and solutions are discussed in this costly field issue.
Development and Implementation of VFD Active Damping to Smooth Torsional Vibrations on a Geared Train
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Journal Bearing Vibration and SSV Hash
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
Peculiar, low-frequency, radial vibrations have been observed in various turbomachinery using tilt-pad journal bearings. Unlike discrete subsynchronous spikes that often indicate a serious problem, the vibrations are ...
Designing Oil-Free Screw Compressor Systems for Acoustic Resonance During Shop Testing, Field Startup, and Process Operation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
An OFS (Oil Free Screw) compressor experienced problems meeting the API 619 3rd Edition vibration level acceptance criteria during shop testing. Extensive testing identified the primary mechanism that increased the rotor ...
Evaluation and Successful Modification of Impeller Using Forced Response Analysis
