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 ...
THE USE OF ACOUSTIC COMB FILTERS TO AVOID CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE BLADE-PASS PULSATION INDUCED PIPING VIBRATIONS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2020)
Centrifugal compressor blade-pass interaction periodic pulsation can cause acoustic resonance conditions and pipe vibrations in the suction and discharge lines of the compressor. A series of two or more progressively placed ...
