Drive Shaft Failure Analysis On A Multistage Vertical Turbine Pump In River Water Supply Service In A Nickel And Cobalt Mine In Madagascar - Based On ODS And FEA
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Co2 Capture And Pumping
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Vertical Integral Thrust Bearing Upgrade
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
Breaking The Cycle Of Pump Repairs
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Achieving lowest possible life cycle cost (LCC) and valueoptimized mean-times-between-repairs (MTBRs) are the undisputed goals of thoughtful pump users. Achieving these goals requires concentrating not only on pump hydraulics, ...
Bearing Maintenance Practices To Ensure Maximum Bearing Life
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Reliability of centrifugal pumps is heavily dependent on bearing reliability. The bearings that support the impeller shaft are complex machine components whose service life is directly affected by: Contamination (both ...
Witness Testing Of API 610 Centrifugal Pumps And API 611 Steam Turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
The tutorial outlines the basic concepts and offers some tips on witness testing of API 610 centrifugal pumps and API 611 steam turbines. The section on API 610 pump testing discusses performance, NPSH and mechanical run ...
Design And Retrofit Of A Low Solidity Diffuser For A Pipeline Centrifugal Gas Compressor Application.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
A high efficiency, single-stage pipeline centrifugal gas
compressor, originally designed with a wedge-type vaned diffuser,
was retrofitted with a vaneless diffuser along with two low solidity
diffuser configurations in ...
Application Of A Heat Barrier Sleeve To Prevent Synchronous Rotor Instability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper explains how synchronous rotor instability can occur
in high speed turbomachinery due to differential heating of bearing
journals. Theoretical investigations have indicated that rotors
supported by fluid-film ...
Turbine Instability Solution-Honeycomb Seals.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
A 40,000 hp steam turbine-generator in a utility service experienced a history of high vibration alarms and trips from an online vibration monitoring system. The excursions of high vibration restricted the operational load ...
The Design, Application, And Operation Of High Efficiency Turboexpanders In Process Plants.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Turboexpander thermal efficiency is an important parameter in the process design of hydrogen purification plants. When a process requires low flow and high head, expander thermal efficiency can only be improved by increasing ...
