-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)Degradation of stationary gas turbines is a quite often observed burden and can impact financial revenues of end-users significantly. In addition to the well-known occurrence of increased pressure losses in the intake ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)The popularity of VFD motors in compressor trains has increased in recent years. Increased process flexibility is a primary consideration for implementation of VFD systems. However, this comes at a cost of increased ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)The performance of a centrifugal compressor is usually defined by its head versus flow map, limited by the surge and stall regions. This map is critical to assess the operating range of a compressor for both steady state ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)In-service Turbine Oil analysis is an integral part of any Condition Based Maintenance Program and is a vital step in building an effective lubrication strategy. Used correctly, oil analysis on large machinery and engines ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Sharing trouble shooting / experience on blower failures. •To address similar issues / failures due to over-size / over-capacity equipments •Reference for blowers selection at project stage.
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)The cavitation behavior and suction performance of a pump are largely influenced by the geometry at the impeller eye. A number of geometric factors at the impeller eye have an influence on cavitation, such as, the inlet ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)The most commonly used hard limitation for pump suction specific speed is 11,000 (US units). This hard limit grew out of the recommendations from a 1982 reliability study by J.L. Hallam (Hallam 1982). Concomitant testing ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)For the purpose of maintenance requirements or for some applications in the chemical industry (for instance chlorine) the centrifugal compressor must be designed with a horizontally (axially) split casing. Beyond the ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)The usage of an industrial inlet fogging and overspraying system on a 35,000 hp frame type industrial gas turbine in high pressure gas reinjection service was aimed to provide additional shaft power output and improved ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Although this Case Study is focused on an Expander-Generator unit in a geothermal application, it’s findings can be used in all turbomachinery applications where other conventional shaft-wheel attachments are causing ...
