Turbomachinery Package Specification

Taurus 60 Compressor Set and Mechanical Drive

 

 

Single-Source Responsibility

Solar is able to provide overall coordination to ensure that the unitized package will perform to its full potential with a minimum of installation time and cost. Performance characteristics of the driver and driven equipment are analyzed to provide an optimum match at design and off-design conditions. Installation drawings and technical manuals are prepared for customer use, detailing mechanical/electrical interface and alignment instructions. Consistency in surface preparation and painting, preservation, shipment and warranty is ensured by Solar’s Quality Assurance.

Unitizing at Installation Site

Solar’s Customer Services personnel can interface and unitize the equipment at the installation site as required.

5.1.2Non-Unitized Packaging

When the gas turbine package is furnished without driven equipment, Solar cannot ensure proper interface between the gas turbine and the driven equipment. Solar is able to offer optional equipment and services, including the following, to facilitate the task of interfacing the gas turbine package with the driven equipment.

Shaft Coupling

The driver coupling hub may be furnished machined and ready for fitting to the shaft by others. The driven equipment coupling hub is pilot bored for machining by others, unless a driven equipment shaft end detail drawing is furnished at the time of order definition. A coupling guard can also be included.

Torsional Vibration Analysis

Solar is able to define operating speeds at which excessive vibration stress in the drive train might occur. Solar should be furnished, at the time of order definition, with mass elastic data for the shaft coupling and the rotating equipment elements, including polar moments of inertia and torsional stiffness. In lieu of mass elastic data, a drawing of rotating elements together with definition of materials may be used.

Lateral Vibration Analysis

Using the same data furnished for the torsional vibration analysis, Solar can define operating speeds at which stress in each piece of rotating equipment, including the turbine gearbox if required, and driven equipment, might occur due to excessive vibration. The data should be provided to Solar at the time of order definition. Once the analysis is completed, a written report is provided.
