In the summer July/Aug 2023 issue of Turbomachinery International, we examine gas turbine and compressor repair and maintenance trends, provide an outlook on the future of hydrogen as a gas turbine fuel, deliver a report on gas turbine sales in 2022, and more.
Debunking the Myth: Embracing Gearboxes for Enhanced Efficiency in Compressor Applications
Debunking the myth on methane leakage in the oil and gas industry. Gas gathering reciprocating compressors are a major source of methane.
ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY IS KEY
Closed loop compressor performance test comparisons
Upgrades required for LNG to meet demand
Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz talk about summer electricity price gouging assumptions
The Myth Busters discuss the many colors of hydrogen and their place in the energy economy.
The phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has served us well in the turbomachinery industry.
During the pandemic we've been seeing the perpetuation of myths surrounding personal air filtration (AKA facemasks). As much as we'd enjoy poking fun at urban legends, we'll stay focused on air filtration for gas turbines.
AM is the best thing since sliced bread, they said. But has the potential of AM for compressor manufacturing been more promise than reality?
Many of us have to verify compressor and driver performance in the field. We do a test, read the data, and convert it to flow, head, and some other parameters. Voila, we have done a valid test and we believe our data. Not so fast!
