While Program Manager of Solar's Power System Vibration Laboratory, Cornejo's responsibilities included development, analysis, troubleshooting/solution, and health verification of high-speed turbine rotor-rotor-train packages such as Solar's Saturn, Centaur, Taurus and Mars turbo-generators, turbo-pumps, electric-motor driven centrifugal compressors, and turbo-compressors trains (centrifugal and reciprocal).
This work provided a wide spectrum of experience with driven components, including generators such as Ideal/EM, Kato, GEC Alsthom, Brush, Hollec/HMA, GE and Siemens; centrifugal compressors, including Demag, Dresser-rand, Cooper, Solar, Atlas-Copco, Nuovo Pignone, York(Frick/Reco); recip-compressors such as Ariel, IR; HP pumps by Bingham, IR, Byron Jackson,; high speed gearing by Lufkin/Westech, Allen/RR, Philadelphia Gear, Solar; clutch systems by SSS/synchronous and PT-Tech/Slip; and steam turbines by Murray and Westinghouse.
Additional responsibilities included update of vendor-driven equipment specifications and compliance as well as application/testing to US and European Standards, such as API, DNV, ISO and vibration-electrical system EMC. By request, Cornejo dedicated time to the training of field and engineering personnel in power-system vibration issues always using actual case solutions to illustrate major technical points.
