Field Performance Testing Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Field performance testing is often necessary to verify guaranteed as-installed aerodynamic and mechanical performance of new machinery. It can also be used to monitor long-term machinery performance, track degradation ...
Gas Turbine Performance and Maintenance
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In this tutorial, we will address the basic characteristics of
each of the components in a gas turbine (compressor,
combustor, gas generator turbine, power turbine) and the
impact of typical control limits and control ...
GAS TURBINE PACKAGING OPTIONS AND FEATURES
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
This tutorial provides an overview of typical packaging options for gas turbines in industrial applications. Applicable standards are discussed. The requirements for different systems, such as air filtration, and fuel ...
Tutorial on Centrifugal Compressor Surge Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
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 ...

Site Performance Testing of Centrifugal Compressors and Gas Turbine Drivers
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
While factory performance tests for compressors and gas turbines are well defined in ASME power test codes, and can be performed under well controlled conditions, site performance tests must be performed under the conditions ...
THE USE OF ACOUSTIC COMB FILTERS TO AVOID CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE BLADE-PASS PULSATION INDUCED PIPING VIBRATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Centrifugal compressor blade-pass interaction periodic pulsation can cause acoustic resonance conditions and pipe vibrations in the suction and discharge lines of the compressor. A series of two or more progressively placed ...
Turbo Tut - Performance of Industrial Gas turbines
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Industrial gas turbines have performance characteristics that distinctly depend on ambient and operating conditions. Application of these gas turbines, as well as the control and condition monitoring, require to consider ...
