Relaying and Controls for Generator Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
In today's competitive marketplace, many electrical energy consumers are encouraged to enter into interruptible or cogeneration contracts by their electrical utility. Interruptible contracts provide year-round cost savings ...
Foam Cleaning of Steam Turbines
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
The efficiency and power output of a steam turbine can be dramatically reduced when deposits form on the turbine blades. Disassembly and mechanical cleaning of the turbine is very time consuming and costly. Deposits can ...
Industrial Energy Procurement Contracts
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Rates are going down and services are improving! Or are they? As opportunities to directly contract for energy expand from the larger industrials to include mid-market companies, existing energy supply and service contracts ...
New Development In Centrifugal Pumps For Optimum Cavitation Performance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
During the past three decades, there have been notable advances in the design of pumps. In a number of projects, the designers of process plants had, during optimization of their layouts, established a requirement for pumps ...
Temperature Measurement At Low Flow On Typical ANSI Chemical Process Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Chemical process pumps can be required to handle highly temperature sensitive liquids. Improper operation of such a centrifugal pump can lead to potentially dangerous liquid temperatures within the pump casing. Determination ...
Rolling Element Bearing Status Using Frequency Analysis
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
It has been said that if one has perfect information, then one can make perfect decision. In the daily operation of a production facility, many decisions are made each day concerning the mechanical condition of production ...
Future Of The Pump Industry
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Successful Modification Of Vertical-Turbine Pumps For Capacity And Reliability Improvement
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
A modification of seven 560 hp vertical-turbine pumps was carried out with outstanding
results to improve their actual capacity. The installation was limited to 64% of its rated
capacity, which was never reached, and the ...
Mechanical Seals In Dead-End Service In The Pulp And Paper Industry
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
The pulp and paper industry as well as all other industry branches are subject to continuous, ongoing development. Mechanical seals have already replaced stuffing-box packings in virtually all pulp and paper factories in ...
Multiphase Pumping With Twin-Screw Pumps - Understand And Model Hydrodynamics And Hydroabrasive Wear
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
Crude oil and gas production can be enhanced by multiphase pumping from the well subsea to far distant production platforms. The twin-screw pump has proven quite suitable for this application. The positive displacement ...
