Development Of Fuel-Flexible Gas Turbine Combustor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Growing global energy demands are motivating the gas turbine industry to seek fuel-flexible gas turbines capable of burning a wide variety of fuels as a means of increasing energy supply stability and security. These ...
Coupling Guard Temperature And Windage Power Loss: Cfd Analysis And Experiments
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
High temperatures inside coupling guards can cause machinery down time and loss of revenue. As a result, many industries invest significant time and effort trying to reduce heat generation. Windage flanges are a standard ...
Subsynchronous Vibrations On Turboexpanders Equipped With Magnetic Bearings Assessment, Understanding And Solutions
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
In most natural gas applications, turboexpanders are operating close to or on the dew point line and a mixture entering the turboexpander impeller is a combination of liquid and gas phases of the natural gas. The presence ...
Electromagnetic Effects On The Torsional Natural Frequencies Of An Induction Motor Driven Reciprocating Compressor With A Soft Coupling
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The electromagnetic field in the air gap of an electric motor is responsible for producing torque between the rotor and stator. The analysis and design of motor-driven equipment trains can be improved by including this ...
Application of Dynamic pressure-balanced Seals in a Multi-stage Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Test results for an ASME Power Test Code 10 (PTC) Type 1 test of a 4,500 psia (310 Bara) discharge pressure gas lift centrifugal compressor outfitted with dynamic pressure-balanced seals at the impeller eyes; shaft interstage ...
Full Scale Validation Of A High Pressure Ratio Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The present paper describes the test activities which have validated a new compressor architecture, developed by the OEM, which is able to deliver a higher pressure ratio in a single casing with respect to traditional ...
Full Speed String Test On LM6000PF Gas Turbine Driven Refrigeration Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Chevron Australia, as part of the Wheatstone Project, constructed a two train liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility and domestic gas plant at the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area, 12 kilometers west of Onslow on ...
Aero-Damping Measurements And Computation In A Full-Scale Multistage Centrifugal Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Great interest is being paid by Oil & Gas industry to the design of high speed and high pressure ratio centrifugal compressors. Static and dynamic stresses are becoming higher and, under critical conditions, aerodynamic ...
Impeller Stall Induced By Reverse Propagation Of Non-Uniform Flow Generated At Return Channel
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
In the case of centrifugal compressors, minor non-uniform flow upstream of the impeller is induced by an asymmetrical configuration in the circumferential direction at the compressor suction casing. This non-uniform flow ...
Adapting Hermetically Sealed Compressor Technology To Deal With Sour And Corrosive Gases
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The Oil & Gas industry faces increasing challenges to meet growing energy demands with the most sustainable exploration and production techniques. Compressor manufacturers have responded to these challenges with the ...
