Investigation Results for Surge Phenomena of Centrifugal Compressor Related with Piping Arrangements and Test Conditions
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
The shop performance test of a hydrogen recycle gas compressor for refinery plant was conducted with the suction pressure of 50barA based on ASME PTC-10 Type-2 test. During testing, a surge phenomenon was observed at a ...
A Probabilistic Approach for Compressor Sizing and Plant Design
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Equipment sizing decisions in the Oil and Gas Industry often have to be made based on incomplete data. Often, the exact process conditions are based on numerous assumptions about well performance, market conditions, ...
Comparison Of Different Variable Speed Compression Train Configurations With Respect To Rotordynamic Stability And Torsional Integrity
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Wherever a variable speed gas compression train is needed for Oil & Gas upstream applications as well as for gas storage applications the primary decision has to be made between a gas turbine driver and an electric motor ...
Improving Reliability On A Centrifugal Compressor Experiencing Frequent Bearing Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
A 1957 vintage multi-stage centrifugal compressor, critical in a refrigeration process, had a history of poor reliability and LP stage bearing failures. Around 1995 the HP casing had been replaced and upgraded. In early ...
