Transient Surge Measurements Of A Centrifugal Compressor Station During Emergency Shutdowns.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
Design And Experimental Evaluation Of A High-Speed, Directly-Coupled, Multi-Megawatt Permanent-Magnet Machine.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
This paper reexamines some of the usual assumptions in deploying synchronous machines in multi-megawatt, high-speed application. The detailed design and experimental evaluation of a prototype high-speed, directly-coupled, ...
Verification Full Load Test Of 900 T/H (1,980,000 LB/H) Large Mechanical Drive Steam Turbine For ASU Up To 200 MW (268,000 HP) Based On Principle Of High Scale Model Similarity.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
In 2009, the authors designed a compressor drive steam turbine for air separation units (ASU) application up to 200 MW (268,000 hp), using large 500 mm (19.7 inch) blade rows, which have a low-pressure (LP) flow capacity ...
Centrifugal Compressor Applications - Upstream And Midstream.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Centrifugal compressors are used in a large number of different compression application. This tutorial addresses applications for centrifugal compressors in the upstream and midstream sector, such as LNG compression, ...
The Effects Of Pulsations On The Surge Margin Of Centrifugal Compressors In Stations With Both Reciprocating And Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Mixed operation with both centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in a compression plant poses significant operational challenges as pressure pulsations and machine mismatches lead to centrifugal compressors’ instabilities ...
Rotordynamic Stability Of A 9500 Psi Reinjection Centrifugal Compressor Equipped With A Hole Pattern Seal-Measurement Versus Prediction Taking Into Account The Operational Boundary Conditions.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Extensive stability measurements were performed during the full-load, full-pressure factory testing of a five-stage inline centrifugal compressor. The compressor, tested up to a maximum discharge pressure of 655 bar (9,500 ...
