Corrosion In Pumps And Other Damage Mechanisms
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The successful application of pumps in handling a variety of fluids depends upon knowledgeable design considerations, and the selection of the correct materials for the liquid environment. A previous tutorial “Corrosion ...
Application Of Variable Speed Electric Motors For Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Pumps operated with variable and higher speed electric motors provide numerous benefits such as greater range of flow and head, higher head from a single stage, valve elimination, and energy saving. To achieve these benefits, ...
Dynamic Loading On Pumps - Causes For Vibration
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Some insight into the mechanism which generate lateral dynamic loads, and hence vibrations, on centrifugal pumps is presented in a general way, and the individual loads are explained and quantified. Without extensive use ...
Using Fault Trees To Determine The Root Cause Of Rotating Equipment Failures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The great value of using multidisciplinary task groups to conduct root cause failure analyses (RCFA) on pump and rotating equipment failures is discussed. The RCFA method offers its users a structured means of achieving ...
Cavitation And Recirculation Troubleshooting Methodology
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
High reliability and large rangeability are required of pumps in existing and new plants which must be capable of reliable on-off cycling operations and especially low load duties. The reliability and rangeability target ...
