Design, Control And Startup Features Of Three Parallel-Working Propane Compressors Each Having Three Stage Groups.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
Two main problems must be solved in the planning and execution of compressor sets to be installed within refrigeration loops. The use of several compressors with different sidestream admissions calls for the installation ...
An Empirical Solution To An Anti-Surge Control Problem.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
Steps taken by a du Pont team to prevent surge in a 23,000 hp process air compressor are reviewed. The process has several reactors which must interlock down quickly for safety reasons. These interlocks can occur on one, ...
Metallurgical Failure Analysis - What, Why And How.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
When capital expenditures arc made for plant equipment, it is routine to anticipate that this equipment will meet reliability and performance expectations and will not experience untimely failure. Being realistic, however, ...
Critical Speeds Of Turbomachinery: Computer Predictions Vs. Experimental Measurements.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
As a result of a continuing demand for increased performance, modern turbomachines are sometimes designed to operate near a critical speed. Machines for petrochemical and natural gas service have been purchased and delivered ...
Lubrication And Seal Oil Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
Within the last decade, user requirements for higher process pressures and improved efficiencies have led the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to provide rotating equipment that operates in speed and pressure ranges ...
Journal Bearing Design Types And Their Applications To Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
A review of several different types of hydrodynamic journal bearings that are commonly found in turbomachinery is presented. Emphasis is placed on the key geometric design parameters of each type. The discussion covers ...
Temperature Measurements in Fluid Film Bearings
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1984)
Temperature measurements have been widely used in the past to monitor the conditions within hydrodynamic journal and thrust bearings. These temperature readings are appreciably affected by changes in the operating conditions ...
