New Control Method For Fixed Speed Compressors With Side Stream
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Problem statement: Operability issues were experienced on flash gas back-to-back compressors with lower molecular weight side stream, driven by fixed speed electric motor: • Failed attempts of start-up/loading • During ...
Radar-Based Sensors - A New Technology For Real-Time, Direct Temperature Monitoring Of Crank And Crosshead Bearings Of Diesels And Hazardous Media Reciprocating Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
Surveys aiming to isolate the main causes of severe damage of large machines such as reciprocating compressors and diesel engines clearly indicate the need for a reliable method to perform real-time monitoring of the ...
An Impeller Dynamic Risk Assessment Toolkit.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
A standardized and cost-effective risk assessment toolkit is described in this paper to comprehensively analyze centrifugal compressor impellers under steady and dynamic loads. The first step in this process occurs in the ...
Balance This! Case Histories From Difficult Balance Jobs.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
There are many good references for classical balance problems; however, specific ways of handling non-ideal conditions are rarely presented. Therefore, this tutorial focuses on six case histories, which illustrate actual ...
Assessing Useful Life Of Turbomachinery Components.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
The last four of five decades have seen considerable advancements in the life assessment methods of mechanical components. These methods have been shown to be equally suitable for new as well as used components and even ...
Charge Gas Compressor Fourth Stage Vibration
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
Charge Compressor 2/3 Stage Fouling/High Vibration
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
Experiences And Applications Of API 617 Full Stability Analysis (Level-II) On Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
To cover the remaining operation life of an offshore platform, it was necessary to go from a single stage compressor to a two-stage compressor. The design of the new two-stage compressor required two different impeller ...
Rotordynamic Design Of Centrifugal Compressors In Accordance With The New APIStability Specifications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has recently implemented new rotordynamic stability specifications for centrifugal compressors. The specifications consist of a Level I analysis that approximates the destabilizing ...
Repair Technologies Of Mechanical Drive Steam Turbines For Catastrophic Damage.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Mechanical drive steam turbines play an important role as core equipment in petrochemical plants, and these turbines are protected for safe operation by an antioverspeed trip device, as well as other monitoring and protection ...
