Solving Stability Problems While Commissioning A 100 MW Turbine Generator Set.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
A new cogeneration installation was in the process of being commissioned when severe subsynchronous vibration was detected on the generator during no load tests. Subsequently, two rotordynamics problems were discovered. ...
Turbomachinery Health Measurement Application And Misapplication - Part II.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
In Part I of "Turbo machinery Health Measurement – Application and Misapplication" (Proceedings of the 17th Turbomachinery Symposium, 1988) the fundamentals of machinery monitoring were presented. This tutorial is presented ...
Torsional Rotordynamics of Machinery Equipment Strings
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Redesign Of Large Steam Turbines For Increased Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Two similar large steam turbines in an ethylene plant are profiled. One drives the cracked gas compressor train and the other
drives the propylene refrigeration compressor. The two machines are similar and this paper ...
Improving The Reliability Of A High Speed Refrigeration Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
A high speed (15,200 rpm) refrigeration centrifugal recycle compressor was experiencing severe reliability problems resulting in short run times between major overhauls. Typical run times were one to 12 weeks. The symptoms ...
A Solution For Variable Speed Vertical Pump Vibration Problems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1985)
Improving The Mechanical Reliability Of A Turbine-Compressor-Expander Used In A Nitric Acid Manufacturing Plant.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The repair of a turbine-compressor-expander to improve its mechanical reliability is described. The machine is unique, with two open-faced centrifugal compressor impellers in the center, three steam turbine stages overhanging ...
API 684 - Torsional Aspects
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
Introduction To Rotordynamics Of Pumps Without Fluid Forces
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
This paper is for the user of rotating equipment, Reliability is the key to the bottom line and rotordynamics is often the significant factor in determining reliability. Rotordynamics is a very interesting and complicated ...
The Design And Application Of A Squeeze Film Damper Bearing To A Flexible Steam Turbine Rotor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)
A critical multistage steam turbine in a large chemical plant experienced high vibration levels and frequent repairs. Numerous failures occurred while passing through the rotor's first critical speed including heavy rubs. ...
