Startup Of A Large Compression Train - Testing Verifies Design.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
The startup of a reliable compressor train involves not only the design and design audit, but also startup testing to verify the functionality of the design. Startup testing usually includes mechanical and electrical system ...
The Gas Lubricated Spiral Grooved Face Seal In The Process Industry.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
The gas lubricated spiral grooved face seal and its application on integrally geared centrifugal compressors in the process industry is discussed. A brief description is given of the seal configuration and its operating ...
Design Of Coupling Enclosures.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
All flexible shaft couplings must be surrounded by a guard, in order to comply with OHSA requirements. For turbomachinery applications, this guard is an oil-tight enclosure and the purpose is to trap any oil escaping the ...
Shop Vs. Field Corrections To Equipment.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
The objectives and types of shop testing for special purpose compressor trains are presented. Actual shop and field delays for various types of deficiencies are compared, and the period of time required to solve a problem ...
Radial And Thrust Bearing Practices With Case Histories.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
Case histories for 13 selected bearing design conversions for specific end results are presented. They were selected out of a group of bearing designs over a 25 year span to give a varied array of non-repetitive case ...
Subsynchronous Vibration Problems In High-Speed, Multistage Centrifugal Pumps.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
Subsynchronous vibration problems were experienced on two reactor charge pumps during on-site commissioning, which led to large whirl amplitudes, making the units automatically trip. A number of possible mechanisms of ...
Review Of Fundamental Two Pole Induction Motor Mechanics.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
An introduction to two pole motor mechanics is presented, with the goal of promoting an understanding of normal and abnormal vibration sources to assist in the diagnosis of the field problems of such motors. Motor force ...
Failure Of Turbomachinery Components.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
The analysis of turbomachinery failures is a highly specialized field requiring a detailed understanding of superalloy metallurgy, moderate and high temperature failure mechanisms and an appreciation of the stresses, ...
Rotordynamic Stability - A Simplified Approach.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
Straightforward mechanics are used to give a physical understanding of the important parameters involved in rotor dynamic instability. A concise analysis procedure is proposed for assembling available information into a ...
Storage Preservation Of Machinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
Storage preservation of machinery makes economic sense fur as yet uncommissioned as well as temporarily deactivated ("mothballed") machinery. Storage preservation herein is divided into three main elements: turbomachinery ...
