Industrial IoT Brings Benefits and Opportunities for Rotating Equipment Suppliers and Plant Operators
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The evolution of the Industrial Internet of Things
(Industrial IoT) and the increasing availability and
affordability of constituent technologies such as sensors,
gateways, networks, platforms, and analytics brings with ...
Dry Gas Seal (DGS) Separation Seal Failure
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This case study presents the failures experienced on separation seals installed on several compressors. The failures resulted in oil migration to the dry gas seals.
Segmented contact-type carbon ring bushing separation ...
Catastrophic Failure Diagnosis with Modal Analysis of Generator Endwindings
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This failure lead a root cause analysis and a series of investigations that was taken place in a similar design unit deployed at a different site. This paper will describe the bump test and modal analysis procedures and ...
Couplings and Rotating Machines
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This course covers the design and application of high performance couplings and
rotating machines. Initially the Turbomachinery driver and driven machines are
analysed together with their characteristics and how they affect ...
RCFA for Recurring Impeller Failures in a 4
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
A Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for repeated
impeller blade failures in a five stage centrifugal propane
compressor is described. The initial failure occurred in June
2007 with a large crack found in one blade on ...
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 ...
Submerged Pumps and Expanders with Magnetic Coupling for Hazardous Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2011)
Presentation and discussion of a unique magnetic coupling design that has been developed for cryogenic service in liquefied gases that allows the submerged motor or generator to be isolated from the process fluid in a safe, ...
Case Study on Resolving High Vibration Issue of a Centrifugal Compressor at an Offshore Platform
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Gas Injection Compressors are critical for offshore oil production facilities. A compressor downtime lowers oil production. This case study is about a Gas Injection Compression train at an offshore platform in the Middle ...
Save your Centrifugal Machinery during Commissioning
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
During the commissioning of centrifugal machines (Compressors, steam turbines, pumps, fans etc.), a lack of flushing, inspection and ignorance of critical areas & procedures can lead to major problems, damage, and serious ...
