Verification Full Load Test Of 900 T/H (1,980,000 LB/H) Large Mechanical Drive Steam Turbine For ASU Up To 200 MW (268,000 HP) Based On Principle Of High Scale Model Similarity.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
In 2009, the authors designed a compressor drive steam turbine for air separation units (ASU) application up to 200 MW (268,000 hp), using large 500 mm (19.7 inch) blade rows, which have a low-pressure (LP) flow capacity ...
Centrifugal Compressor Applications - Upstream And Midstream.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Centrifugal compressors are used in a large number of different compression application. This tutorial addresses applications for centrifugal compressors in the upstream and midstream sector, such as LNG compression, ...
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 ...
Rotordynamic Stability Of A 9500 Psi Reinjection Centrifugal Compressor Equipped With A Hole Pattern Seal-Measurement Versus Prediction Taking Into Account The Operational Boundary Conditions.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Extensive stability measurements were performed during the full-load, full-pressure factory testing of a five-stage inline centrifugal compressor. The compressor, tested up to a maximum discharge pressure of 655 bar (9,500 ...
Steam Turbine Pipe Strain Case Study
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
This is a case study of a new steam turbine installation in which pipe strain became an issue after commissioning and start-up. This case study will bring light to the use of shaft indicator movement vs. turbine casing ...
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 ...
