PL06 - Investigation on the influence of an inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by centrifugal pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This study explains the influence of an upstream inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by a centrifugal pump. The inducer has generally a slight influence on single-phase flow. For two-phase ...
PL07 - Sand Management and Erosion Prediction in Subsea Multiphase Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Over the past ten years, subsea multiphase pumping has accomplished extraordinary technology breakthroughs. The drivers are the oil and gas companies requirements for deeper and more remote subsea production satellites ...
PL04 - Understanding the Effects of Selecting a Pump Performance Test Acceptance Grades
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
There are good reasons for requiring the tightest test acceptance tolerances. That is why they are listed in industry accepted pump testing standards, ANSI/HI 14.6, ANSI/HI 11.6 and ISO 9906. There are also applications ...
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 ...
PL08 - Torsional Rotordynamic Excitation, Natural Frequency and Damping Characteristics in a Viscous Centrifugal Pump Application
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This lecture is concerned with the torsional vibration characteristics of a double-suction centrifugal pump handling a highly viscous product. This test case serves to verify engineering assumptions about torsional excitation ...
PL03 - Realistic Expectations from a Unique Plan 66A Bushing Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The 66A dual bushing arrangement is used to provide leak detection on crude oil pipeline pumps. Here the effectiveness of the arrangement in detecting seal leakage and providing leakage containment are examined through ...
PL02 - Cavitation sensing and optimization in Rotary Positive Displacement Pumps for transfer duties
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Pumps used in terminal transfer duties have a unique set of demands placed on them. They must be able to accomplish all of the following reliably and consistently: ? Transfer as fast as piping network allows (minimize ...
PL01 - Technical Considerations for Submerged Sea Water Lift Pumps Specification and Selection�[More Info]
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Sea Water Lift (SWL) Pumps are applied in offshore units for cooling and fire water services. The specification of the SWL pump operating conditions is an iterative process where proper alignment between the supplier and ...
PL05 - A FEM APPROACH TO PREDICT ACOUSTIC RESONANCE IN MULTISTAGE CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Acoustic resonance that can develop within the hydraulic channels of the pump, especially in the long crossover channel of a multistage, has always had in the past a minimal consideration if compared with other dynamic ...
