(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)Following the changes to API 671, there is a requirement to reduce temperature around guarded coupling designs. Existing features used in high performance (HP) couplings involve various methods of shrouding and covering ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Accurate modeling of complicated dynamic phenomena characterizing rotating machineries represents a critical aspect in the rotor dynamic field. A correct prediction of rotor behavior is fundamental to identify safe operating ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Oil and Gas industry end users have generally approached the topic of centrifugal compressor performance estimation with little consideration to the effect of process gas conditions. This is customary since end users depend ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)Outline: Problem description and approach overview. Specialized testing to characterize the problem. Conclusions and recommendations based on the test results. Implementing the solution. Lessons learned.
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)As part of the Upgrade project of 1998/99 the Main Oil line (MOL) pumps were replaced with smaller pumps from NUOVA PIGNONE (NP), due to Three-phase separation. The new pumps were installed with John Crane (JC) Double ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)This paper will discuss the challenges with contamination resulting from long periods of compressors in standstill conditions. The reliability of gas seals is largely dependent on having a continuous supply of clean and ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)• In an LNG production plant, multiple propane (PR) refrigeration compressor failures since commissioning led to re-wheeling • PR refrigeration system was not considered to be the main bottleneck, nevertheless improved ...
-
