Analysis of Rotor Rub in a Large Centrifugal Refrigeration Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
The purpose of this case study is to present an investigation of substantial damage to the rotor of a large centrifugal propane refrigeration compressor that is installed in an 800 MTPA Ethylene plant. After ten years of ...
Field Investigation of Gearbox Vibration Due to Cracked Motor Rotor Bars
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Approximately one year after installing a new gearbox, vibration levels were gradually increasing. The tire plant requested that the gearbox manufacturer investigate under warranty. A field study was performed by an ...
