Development and Application of Very High Flow Covered Stages for Process Centrifugal Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
For process centrifugal compressor applications, achieving higher flow rates through a given sized compressor can reduce capital cost while still meeting process requirements. Key technologies for enabling such higher flow ...
L03: High Speed Balancing: API Acceptance Criteria, Pedestal Dynamics, and Unbalance Response Correlation
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
Acceptance criteria for high-speed balancing of turbomachinery are specified in API standards based on either pedestal velocity or shaft displacement, and these are discussed in detail Pedestal velocities are measured using ...
L04: Predicting, Understanding and Avoiding the Ekofisk Rotor Instability 40 Years Later
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
A re-examination of the well-known Ekofisk re-injection centrifugal compressor is presented Several opportunities makethis an ideal candidate to assess how well (or not) current design and analytical methods have evolved ...
L09: Development and Application of Very High Flow Coverd Stages for Process Centrifugal Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
The present work describes the development and application of a family of very high flow (VHF) stages with nominal design flow coefficient of 024 and moderate to high Machine Mach Number (Mu) of 088 The design is essentially ...
CS18: Morton Effect with Pedestal Support Influence
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2021)
The Morton effect was encountered during a compressor rotor high speedbalance Morton effect for high speed balance configuration was not consideredin the design phase analysis, and it was a unique experience The high ...
