A User's View Of Sealless Pumps - Their Economics, Reliability, And The Environment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Numerous surveys have shown that the shaft seal is the dominate root cause of failure for the chemical process pump. These component failures are attributed with the lion’s share of the pump maintenance cost. Moreover, ...
Root Cause Analysis Of Five Costly Centrifugal Pump Failures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Machinery failure analysis and troubleshooting are often pursued in a somewhat haphazard, unstructured fashion. This paper presents a novel, proven, and well focused approach which can quickly lead to the root cause ...
Retrofitting Turbomachinery With High Performance Flexible Dry Couplings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
When planning maintenance of turbomachinery, the proper selection of dry couplings to replace gear couplings should be considered. The basic criteria used when retrofitting flexible diaphragm or disc couplings is discussed.
Cleaning Turbomachinery Without Disassembly, Online And Offline.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
Turbomachinery is designed for optimum aerodynamic and mechanical performance at given user conditions. Before shipment, this performance is usually verified on the OEM's test floor, based on specified design conditions. ...
Reciprocating Compressor Valve Reliability Improvements.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
The primary improvements made to compressor valve reliability over the past several years are covered. The topics include seat, stop plate, element and spring design and will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of ...
Magnetic Bearings - A Primer.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Magnetic bearings have reached the point in their development
where they can be considered a mature technology, and as such,
should gain wide acceptance by the rotating equipment industry.
While current industrial ...
Materials Issues For Users Of Gas Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Material issues are of paramount importance for the reliable and
cost effective operation of gas turbine engines. Because of the high
turbine temperatures, the materials degrade over time, which
requires their repair ...
