Discussion Group T5: Turbomachinery Operational Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
Gas Turbine Degradation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
There is a strong incentive for gas turbine operators to minimize and control performance degradation, as this directly affects profitability. The area of gas turbine recoverable and non-recoverable performance degradation ...
Gas Turbine Packaging Options And Features
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
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 systems ...
Gas Turbine Performance.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
Industrial gas turbines show performance characteristics that distinctly depend on ambient and operating conditions. They are not only influenced by site elevation, ambient temperature, and relative humidity, but also by ...
Discussion Group T7 On Gas Turbine Operation and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Surge Avoidance For Compressor Systems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2006)
This tutorial explains the surge phenomenon as well as the precursors of surge and the damage that surge can cause to the equipment. Then, methods to keep the compressor system from surge, i.e., modern surge control systems, ...
Discussion Group T1 On Turbomachinery Operational Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Gas Turbine Performance and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Proper maintenance and operating practices can significantly affect the level of performance degradation and thus, time between repairs or overhauls of a gas turbine. Understanding of performance characteristics of gas ...
Experimental Evaluation of Effectiveness of Online Water-Washing in Gas Turbine Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
An investigation of the effectiveness of online combustion turbine axial compressor washing using various purity grade waters and commercial washing detergents was performed. For this project, blade surface fouling dirt ...
Hydrodynamic Torque Converters For Oil & Gas Compression and Pumping Applications : Basic Principles, Performance Characteristics And Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Herrmann Foettinger as an alternative to a regular speed changing gear for shipboard propulsion. At that time, mechanical reduction gears for such high power applications were not available. The core idea of hydrodynamic ...
