Reducing Life-Cycle Costs For Pumps Handling Cryogenic Fluids
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Advancements in the science of sealing technology have had a dramatic effect in increasing equipment reliability and reducing the cost of equipment ownership. One such area of success has been the pumping cryogenic fluids ...
Symmetrical Seal Design: A Sealing Concept For Today
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)
The symmetrical seal offers a significant advancement in seal design to pump manufacturers and users it is the first alternative design to complex seal arrangements which are required to fit a stuffing box designed for ...
Toward Reduced Pump Operating Costs, Part Two - Avoiding Premature Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Each year billions of dollars are spent annually on the premature or unnecessary repair and replacement of equipment. This is certainly a waste of not only our natural resources but the funds that can improve the operating ...
Toward Reduced Pump Operating Costs
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Pump components such as seals and couplings affect the reliability and operating costs of pumping equipment directly. By reference to basic principles, those effects will be quantified and compared with the overall running ...
Toward Reduced Pump Operating Costs, Part 3 - Minimizing The Effects Of Wear And Optimizing Pump Efficiency
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
This tutorial will help the user to distinguish between premature failure and failure due to the normal wear-out process. Once the normal wear-out process has been identified, then what technologies can be used to minimize ...
