This paper will outline how conditions affect the compressor selection process and the power consumption needed to achieve the required flow and discharge pressure.

Reducing the risk of working with supercritical carbon dioxide is a key factor for successful projects.

Hot corrosion is a source of nonrecoverable degradation on gas turbines. It is a chemical reaction between salts, sulfur and heat, where the damages can reduce an engine’s life by up to 75%. One of the most effective methods is to eliminate the contaminants triggering the chemical reaction. This paper examines the causes of hot corrosion and assesses various methods of mitigation.

Accelerometers and pressure sensors for use on combustion turbines require special consideration during design and manufacturing processes. Typical applications for high temperature sensors include condition monitoring of power generation turbines, gas turbine bearing health monitoring and turbine/compressor sets in oil & gas pipelines.

Closed-loop heat pumps and mechanical vapor recompression open-cycle-loop heat pumps with MVR are two long-established processes gaining greater attention as industry attempt

Friction coefficient at the hub-shaft interface is critical to joint torque capacity. In a test program designed for a high-profile customer within the industry, several common but important hub-shaft joint configurations were tested to determine how friction can affect the torque capacity of these configurations. This paper outlines the performance results obtained within the test program.

70% of the total lifecycle costs for gas compressors come from energy consumption. Recent impeller improvements help compressors produce greater flow utilizing less power than previous designs.
