CSP10 - Extending MTBF of Seals in Boiler Feed Water Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The customer experienced short seal life on a set of multi-stage, double ended pumps that were commissioned in 2009. A single seal design with piping plan 23 system was used with pump cooling jackets. The average seal life ...
CSP02 - Identifying the cause of a plunger pump shutdown data logging to the rescue
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
When a plunger pump shuts down unexpectedly, there can be many potential causes. This case study demonstrates how a multi-channel data logging system was used to diagnose a mysterious shutdown of a plunger pump driven by ...
CST08 - RCA report on governing valve seat failure for ERC Turbine
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Precise and stable steam flow control to the Turbine directly relates to improved steam turbine speed and load control and reduced system mechanical wear. This paper presents a complete failure of a Governing valve seat ...
CSP08 - Analysis and troubleshooting of a piston rod failure of RC
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Piston Rods are one of the most vulnerable components in reciprocating compressors and, if failing, one of the most important parts that can cause serious secondary damage. Based on an actual experience with a piston rod ...
CSP05 - Keyless taper fits with non-uniform section hubs
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
During an investigation of bore damage on a flexible coupling between a motor and pump, the hubs non uniform design came into question as a potential factor. The American National Standard Flexible couplings Keyless Fits ...
