Evaluation Of Liquid Film Seals, Associated Systems And Process Considerations
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
Buffered bushing liquid-film seals have been in existence for some time and have proven to be quite reliable for most centrifugal compressor applications. However, industry has been demanding more from seals and their ...
Principles Of Fluid Film Bearing Design And Application
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
After a summary pf the basic hydrodynamic principles of fluid film bearings, this paper considers their application to currently used types of bearing, both thrust and journal. The emphasis will be on providing information ...
Mechanical Contact Shaft Seal
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
Various aspects of the mechanical contact type shaft seal are discussed, including theory of operation, features, and applications. Limits are discussed so that the paper should be of interest to both the operator and specifier.
Fluid Film Bearings - Fundamentals And Design Criteria And Pitfalls
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
The presentation will cover fluid film bearing fundamental theory and design criteria. Since the subject is extensive, the design portion will be restricted to hydrodynamic (self-acting) bearing mode using liquid lubricants. ...
Mechanical Seal Application - A User's Viewpoint
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
The purpose of this paper is to present some user guidelines for the selection, operation, and maintenance of mechanical end face seals in chemical, petrochemical, and petroleum operations. Though the exact seal requirements ...
A Discussion Of Turbine And Compressor Sealing Devices And Systems
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
This discussion briefly summarizes some of the devices, seal systems, and operating parameters encountered with turbines and compressors, but because of the magnitude of technical information that would be required, the ...
