Machinery Best Practices
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Based on W. E. Forsthoffer’s Text “Forsthoffer’s Best Practice Handbook for Rotating Machinery” published by Elsevier in 2011, Michael and William Forsthoffer will present 20 Machinery Best Practices (17 specifically ...
Root Cause Analysis of a Vibration Problem in a Propylene Turbo Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Problem:• A newly installed turbo compressor system for
propylene showed vibrations in the piping
system and rotor.
• After that supporting layout was significantly
improved measurements showed that
vibrations were ...

DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OF ANTISURGE AND PERFORMANCE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The development and design of control systems for centrifugal and axial compressors is discussed and explanations given to bring together features of control systems on varying machine designs. Potential problems resulting ...
THE CHALLENGE FOR THE ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF THE AXIAL ROTOR THRUST IN CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The axial thrust is basically generated by a pressure imbalance across the impeller. The impeller is subjected to a great force trying to move it against the incoming flow. The cumulative thrust of all impellers on the ...
BABBITTED BEARING HEALTH ASSESSMENT
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Within most plants there is often a desire to extend the time between outages. Several factors determine this but one to consider is the bearings ability to run for the extended time.
This Tutorial will address common ...
TUTORIAL: TRANSIENT MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Centrifugal compressors are subject to transient events, such as emergency shutdowns, which can cause energetic surge events during rapid shutdown transients. Many modeling tools are used to predict the behavior of compressor ...
