Transient Surge Measurements Of A Centrifugal Compressor Station During Emergency Shutdowns.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
The Effects Of Pulsations On The Surge Margin Of Centrifugal Compressors In Stations With Both Reciprocating And Centrifugal Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Mixed operation with both centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in a compression plant poses significant operational challenges as pressure pulsations and machine mismatches lead to centrifugal compressors’ instabilities ...
API Specification Review For Gas Turbine Driven Turbocompressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
This tutorial provides an overview of the latest edition of American Petroleum Institute (API) Code API 616 (1998) and also provides a brief summary of API 614 (1999), 617 (2002), 670 (2000), 671 (1998), and 677 (1997) as ...
Gas Turbine Performance - What Makes The Map?
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine are the result of a complex interaction of different turbomachines and a combustion system. This tutorial addresses the basic characteristics of each of the components, ...
Gas Turbine Life Limiting Effects Of Inlet And Interstage Water Injection.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Power enhancement technologies for gas turbines such as inlet fogging, interstage water injection, saturation cooling, inlet chillers, and combustor injection are being used by end users without evaluating the potentially ...
Site Performance Test Evaluation For Gas Turbine And Electric Motor Driven Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Field testing of compressor packages driven by gas turbines or electric motors requires the accurate determination of efficiency, flow, head, and power in sometimes less than ideal working environments. This paper discusses ...
Gas Turbine Tutorial - Maintenance And Operating Practices Effects On Degradation And Life.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Proactive condition monitoring will allow the gas turbine ...
