CSP02 - Identifying the cause of a plunger pump shutdown data logging to the rescue
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
When a plunger pump shuts down unexpectedly, there can be many potential causes. This case study demonstrates how a multi-channel data logging system was used to diagnose a mysterious shutdown of a plunger pump driven by ...
Key Differences in the Design of Piping Systems for Reciprocating and Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2017)
Benefits of Installing Restrictive Orifice Plates On the Suction of Reciprocating Pumps:1D Pulsation and CFD Studies
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2017)
Plunger Pump Station - Vibration-Induced Cracks in Piping
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2017)
Differences In Piping System Design for Reciprocating and Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Reciprocating pump installations require particular design considerations which are much different from centrifugal pump systems. An incomplete design basis for reciprocating pump installations can lead to costly remedial ...
PL09 - Study of pulsation dampener designs for plunger pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Pressure pulsations from reciprocating pumps can generate high shaking forces that put the pump systems at risk of vibration and fatigue failures. Pressure pulsations can also cause cavitation in the pump suction system ...
Lessons learned solving sliding vane compressor vibration problems
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
A benefit claimed for vane compressors is they do not have vibrations problems that are experienced by other positive displacement machines. This case study demonstrates high vibration and fatigue failures on a sliding ...
