Pumps 101
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Establishing An Electric Motor Lubrication Program (Unpublished)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Mechanical Seals With Wavy Sic Faces For A Severe Duty NGL/Crude Pipeline Application
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
Mechanical seals were developed for a pipeline with demanding operation conditions. Natural gas liquids (NGL), refined products, and crude oil are pumped in batch mode. Seal pressure varies over a wide range and the pumps ...
Multistage Pump Efficiency Gains Through The Elimination Of The Seal Chamber Pressure Equalization Line
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
The majority of horizontally split multistage pumps were designed when packing was the only cost effective method of sealing the pumpage from atmosphere. As a result, even modern pumps employ a stuffing box pressure ...
Dry Gas Sealing Systems For Oil Sands Pumping Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Power Pump Valve Dynamics
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
The dynamics (movement) of the check valves in a reciprocating power pump determine whether the pump will operate quietly and smoothly, or noisily with pulsation and vibration. Although piping pulsation and vibration are, ...
Dynamic Improvement Of An Overhung Single-Stage Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Vibration control is an important aspect of all pump design. It helps assure quiet operation and high reliability. Therefore, the design of pump components should avoid any dangerous resonances with excitation forces, such ...
Driving Pump Reliability Forward With Advanced Composite Wear Rings
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
In 2003, a refinery began a program to apply advanced composite wear rings, line shaft bearings, and related components. By September 2006, the program had expanded to 61 pumps, at which point plant personnel quantified ...
Electronic Data Exchange In The Pump Industry
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
In the pump industry, technical information is shared throughout the supply chain - among the purchasers, suppliers, engineering contractors, procurement, operations, and maintenance - playing a crucial role in the life ...
Effective Isolation Treatment Of Vertical Pumps Including Seismic Restraints
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Three vertical pumps at a wastewater transfer station a few miles away from the San Andreas Fault and next to an apartment building were the source of vibration and noise complaints. To attune the transmitted vibration, a ...
