Vertically-Suspended Pumps With Water-Lubricated Rubber Bearings - Experimental Identification Of Dynamic Stiffness Coefficients
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Design and development of vertically-suspended water pumps requires good understanding of the rotor system characteristics with water-lubricated rubber bearings (WLRB). This paper presents a newly-built experimental device ...
Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Of the numerous process centrifugal pumps undergoing repair right this very minute, an estimated 90% have failed randomly before. Some have run just fine until the very first repair two or three years after startup, and ...
Factors Affecting Oil Ring And Slinger Lubricant Delivery & Stability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
The choice of which lubrication strategy to apply for pump bearings has implications for both the short term characteristics exhibited by the bearings and their long term reliability. When lubricating rolling element ...
