(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)In this lecture a root cause analysis (RCA) is presented for a fatigue failure of a semi-open impeller of an integrally geared compressor. The compressor had been in service for about one year in an air separ 3rd stage impeller.
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable operation in choke have been established. Based on test data and numerical data, the behavior ...
