Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

In this article an examination has been made of the problems that arise during operation of the R32/15-9.9/4.1 type of steam turbine of the synthesis gas compressor of the enterprise Minudobreniya in Rossosh, Russia, due to high vibration levels that cause emergency stoppage of the unit on account of failure of the standard sliding (plain) support bearings. The causes of unsteady operation of the turbine rotor have been analyzed and the technical solutions for stabilizing the operation of the unit, realization of which in July 2009 helped stabilize turbine operation in all technological situations, have been scrutinized.
