Mechanical Seals For High Face Speed Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The rotating equipment industry's ever-increasing demand for efficient, safe and reliable seal elements has resulted in the application of mechanical seals in turbomachinery at very high face speeds. In addition to the ...
A Technical Approach To The Maintenance And Overhaul Of Gas Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
Conventional approaches to maintenance of large machines are effective, but they often have problems in the areas of record keeping, access to knowledge gained from previous experience, lack of intimate knowledge of ...
A Generalized And Simplified Transient Torque Analysis For Synchronous Motor Drive Trains.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
The start-up of synchronous motor drive trains is usually associated with torsionally excited vibrations and low-cycle fatigue problems. Traditional calculation methods used for analysis of such a system involve computerized ...
Aerothermal-Mechanical Health Monitoring And Diagnostics Or Turbo-Compressor Sets
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
High speed turbomachinery plays a critical role in today's petrochemical industry. There are very high penalty costs associated with nonavailability and catastrophic failure of critical unspared trains. Additionally the ...
The Calculation And Verification Of Torsional Natural Frequencies For Turbomachinery Equipment Strings
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1982)
The analytical techniques used to design turbomachinery equipment strings from a torsional dynamics standpoint are discussed. Consideration is also given to both torsional natural frequency placement and potential excitation ...
Total Alignment Can Reduce Maintenance And Increase Reliability
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
There are several acceptable alignment methods presently available. Despite their diversity, one common thread of agreement is noted. That is, maximum machine life and optimum runs will not be attained unless the machines’ ...
Geothermal Power And Problems
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Geothermal energy is becoming an increasingly important source of electrical power in today's world. Presented here is a review of the world wide geothermal situation and the development of "The Geysers" geothermal resource ...
Pump Energy Conservation Techniques
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Thousands of dollars are wasted annually in a typical petrochemical plant through inefficient operation of pumps. Excess capacity, changing operating conditions, inefficient control, and inadequate maintenance are some of ...
The Laser - As Used In Alignment
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
Establishing Your Own Field Balancing Group
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
