This paper explores the design, balancing, and monitoring of high-speed couplings in hydrogen systems, focusing on adaptability, material considerations, and future outlook.
Modeling Casing Treatment in Compressors
April 16th 2021Tighter regulations on exhaust gas emissions have driven the development of smaller, turbocharged engines. The technology is gaining attention in other industries that share many of the same requirements. This paper examines the design process for casing treatment in detail using specialized turbomachinery software for preliminary design modeling and optimization.
The Challenges of Maintaining Equipment on Offshore Platforms v2
April 15th 2021Operators of offshore platforms are under considerable pressure to extend the working life of existing equipment while at the same time reducing operating costs. This paper looks at how this can be achieved for a wide variety of assets including pumps, turbines motors and generators.
Making it in a high frequency world
March 18th 2021This white paper illustrates how resonant frequency of an accelerometer is determined via Hooke’s Law and the spring-mass harmonic isolator. It also explores the concepts of mass and mounting methodology stiffness, the two main factors that affect the resonant frequency (and therefore high frequency response) of an accelerometer.
A Key Variable in Predicting and Extending Bearing Life
March 18th 2021Bearings are at the heart of all rotating equipment, yet they are often an afterthought. Neglected until the “heart” stops beating and the equipment is forced to shut down wasting time and money. This paper puts bearings first. It describes methods for more accurate bearing life calculations by examining current bearing protection devices.
Camfil Power Systems | Cutting the Carbon Cost with Improved Air Inlet Systems
March 18th 2021As the world becomes environmentally conscious, the Power Generation and Oil and Gas industries have seen mounting pressure to find greener solutions. With a growing demand for greener practices and rising operational costs, it has become imperative for gas turbine operators to cut their carbon footprints, reduce operational costs, and become more efficient. In this whitepaper you will discover that one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions is to upgrade the air intake filters on gas turbines.

Understand Equipment Certification Programs for Potentially Explosive Environments
March 18th 2021Intrinsic safety certifications identify a mix and match of different terms- ATEX, CSA or IECEx? Division or zone? Gas or dust? Pick the sensor with the wrong intrinsic safety certification and run the risk of having the installation stopped by local authorities. This white paper can help you to understand the most common intrinsic safety systems and more, leading you to a more educated decision about which intrinsically-safe vibration sensor is best for your application.
