Corrosion Control In Industrial Axial Flow Compressors.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Rotor blade, stator vane, and rotor disk or drum corrosion continues to be one of the leading causes of rotor failures in industrial axial flow air compressors, aero derivative turbine engines, and industrial gas turbines. ...
Experience With Vertical-Turbine Pumps Rebowl Upgrade
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Four 580 HP cooling tower feed pumps were upgraded by retrofitting improved
bowl assemblies with enclosed stainless-steel impellers.
Pumps exhibited capacity limitation up to 50% of rated and cavitation damage in
original ...
Toward Reduced Pump Operating Costs, Part Two - Avoiding Premature Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Each year billions of dollars are spent annually on the premature or unnecessary repair and replacement of equipment. This is certainly a waste of not only our natural resources but the funds that can improve the operating ...
Development Of A Smart Pumping System
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
In today’s global economy, process plants are under constant pressure to reduce costs. Users can no longer afford their attempts to make pumps bulletproof by upgrading component specifications. The development of a smart ...
Principles And Application Of A Diagnostic System For Mechanical Seals
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
It is well known from long-term experience that life-cycle costs of a pump are determined by the consequential cost associated with pump failures. The failure of a pump, often originating from system-related nonpermissible ...
Tutorial On Cryogenic Submerged Electric Motor Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
The cryogenic submerged electric motor pump described here is a unique centrifugal pump design specifically developed for handling cryogenic fluids such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquid ...
