Gas Turbine Performance And Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
Valve Performance And Life Of Reciprocating Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
The operation of a reciprocating compressor is closely linked to the performance of its valves in terms of life and efficiency. Most operators report that the most significant cause of forced outages of reciprocating ...
A Probabilistic Approach for Compressor Sizing and Plant Design
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Equipment sizing decisions in the Oil and Gas Industry often have to be made based on incomplete data. Often, the exact process conditions are based on numerous assumptions about well performance, market conditions, ...
Transient Surge Measurements Of A Centrifugal Compressor Station During Emergency Shutdowns.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
The Effects Of Pulsations On The Surge Margin Of Centrifugal Compressors In Stations With Both Reciprocating And Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Mixed operation with both centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in a compression plant poses significant operational challenges as pressure pulsations and machine mismatches lead to centrifugal compressors’ instabilities ...
Impact of Piping Impedance and Acoustic Characteristics on Centrifugal Compressors Surge and Operating Range
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Analysis Of Solid Particle Surface Impact Behavior In Turbomachines To Assess Blade Erosion And Fouling
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2012)
Solid particle admission is one of the principal damage and failure mechanisms in turbomachines such as gas turbines, axial, and centrifugal compressors. Significant interest exists within the turbomachinery industry to ...
Successful Selection And Operation Of Gas Turbine Inlet Filtration Systems
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
A gas turbine inlet filtration system is important for successful operation. The filtration system minimizes the occurrence of foreign object damage, erosion, fouling, and corrosion. The selection of the inlet filtration ...
API Specification Review For Gas Turbine Driven Turbocompressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
This tutorial provides an overview of the latest edition of American Petroleum Institute (API) Code API 616 (1998) and also provides a brief summary of API 614 (1999), 617 (2002), 670 (2000), 671 (1998), and 677 (1997) as ...
Field Testing Of Gas Turbine Driven Centrifugal Compressor Packages - Test Procedures And Measurement Uncertainties.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Field testing of gas turbine compressor packages requires the
accurate determination of efficiency, flow, head, power, and fuel
flow in sometimes less than ideal working environments.
Nonetheless, field test results ...
