Applying Improved Efficiency Transformers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Today's business and energy conscious environment affords both producers and consumers of electric energy an opportunity to reduce costs and conserve energy through the use of improved efficiency transformers. Various ...
Magnetic Bearings - A Primer.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Magnetic bearings have reached the point in their development
where they can be considered a mature technology, and as such,
should gain wide acceptance by the rotating equipment industry.
While current industrial ...
Materials Issues For Users Of Gas Turbines.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Material issues are of paramount importance for the reliable and
cost effective operation of gas turbine engines. Because of the high
turbine temperatures, the materials degrade over time, which
requires their repair ...
Acoustic Fatigue Involving Large Turbocompressors And Pressure Reduction Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Much work has been done over the years to predict the potential
for acoustic fatigue in piping systems associated with pressure
reducing systems in the design stage. However, an easily usable
screening criteria for ...
Increased Reliability And Reduction In Long Term Cost Of Ownership Through Proper Spare Rotor Storage, Inspection, Documentation, And Tracking.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Recently, a major chemical company put together a project to
specifically address the repetitive corrosion problem experienced
on the long term storage of critical rotors in a Texas facility.
