Discussion Group T12 On Steam Turbine Design, Operation, and Maintenance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
RCFA For Recurring Impeller Failures In A 4.7 Mtpa LNG Train Propane Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
A Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for repeated impeller blade failures in a five stage centrifugal propane compressor is described. The initial failure occurred in June 2007 with a large crack found in one blade on the ...
Gas Seal Contamination
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Design of seals and sealing systems requires multidisciplinary skills and deep understanding of interactions between the seals and its environment. This paper proposes to present typical gas seals contaminants and corresponding ...
Modeling And Prediction Of Sidestream Inlet Pressure For Multistage Centrifugal Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
It is common for some compressors in certain applications to have one or more incoming sidestreams that introduce flow other than at the main inlet to mix with the core flow. In most cases, the pressure levels at these ...
Pulsation, Vibration, And Noise Issues With Wet And Dry Screw Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Although wet (oil injected) and dry (oil free) screw compressors are widely used in many applications, limited information is available regarding the pulsation, vibration, and noise problems associated with these types of ...
Guidelines For Reducing The Noise Level Of A Centrifugal Air Compressor Installation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
This paper will review the best practices for installation of a centrifugal air compressor without a sound enclosure to obtain the best acoustic environment for reduced operating noise levels. An overview of the noise ...
Introduction To Engineering Ethics With Rotating Machinery Case Studies
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
Most states now require professional engineers to regularly study engineering ethics. Texas, for example, requires one hour of engineering ethics training every year. Most engineering ethics instruction tends to be extremely ...
Long Term Operating Experience With Corrosion Control In Industrial Axial Flor Compressors
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
One of the primary causes of flow path failures in industrial axial flow compressors has been attributed to or is related to corrosion damage. Over the years, a number of corrosion mitigations have been utilized by various ...
Demonstration Of The Rotordynamic Effects Of Centrifugal Liquid Separation And Gas Compression In An Oil-Free Integrated Motor-Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
The application of oil-free-integrated motor-compressors has become increasingly popular in recent years. One of the significant features of this class of machinery is compactness, providing space-savings compared to ...
Co2 Capture And Pumping
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)
A generic tutorial on the capture of CO2 from stack gases, its compression, pumping and injection. Pump types, thermodynamics, equations of state, sealing, and other related subjects discussed.
