STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS: A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior
of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the
feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the
user judging one of his machines ...
Gas Seal Contamination
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Design of seals and sealing systems requires
multidisciplinary skills and deep understanding of
interactions between the seals and its environment.
This paper proposes to present typical gas seals
contaminants and ...
MATERIALS SELECTION FOR SEAWATER PUMPS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Materials used in seawater pumps depend upon many factors
that include seawater quality, materials limitations and processing
characteristics, as well as materials cost and availability. Many
newer high alloy stainless ...
GETTING THE FACTS ON OIL MIST LUBRICATION
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Oil mist lubrication is a proven and
environmentally clean technology for the
lubrication of rotating equipment in process
industries. The use of oil mist lubrication
has grown dramatically worldwide
delivering increased ...
FLUID FILM BEARINGS FUNDAMENTALS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Bearings constitute one of the most critical components in
turbo and rotating machinery today. Their influence on the
rotordynamic performance, life, and reliability of the machine
cannot be ignored. Many of the problems ...
RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR CONDITION MONITORING
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Technology for reciprocating compressor condition monitoring has been around since the 1950’s, however until the last 20 years or so it seemed that only the pipeline companies spent much effort on this activity. Technology ...
Seal Condition Monitoring Principles
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
As many of you have experienced throughout your career, Mechanical Seals are the number 1 failed component within pumps. So, how do we fix that? In this tutorial, we will discuss why seals are the # 1 failed component, but ...
LNG TURBOMACHINERY
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
The International Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trade is
expanding rapidly. Projects are being proposed worldwide to
meet the industry forecasted growth rate of 12% by the end of
the decade. LNG train designs in the coming ...
