Bone-Dry Running Tests Utilizing Diamond Like Carbon Coated Silicon Carbide Bearings And Polymer Lubricating Strips In An ANSI Magnetic Drive Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Dry run failures in sealless pumps continue to be of major concern to users and, in some cases, have precluded the purchase of these types of pumps. Users are demanding robust pump designs that are more tolerant of dry ...
Design And Application Of Dual Gas Seals For Small Bore Seal Chambers
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Since the release of dual gas lubricated seal technology for process pumps over three years ago, this technology has provided a more versatile, efficient, safe, and less costly alternative to sealless pumps and traditional ...
Oil Lubrication Systems For Process Pumps And Related Equipment
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Oil lubrication systems, when required and provided for the pumping system, are the life insurance policy for the process. If the oil lubrication system should fail to perform, the results are bearing failures in pumps, ...
