Course Introduction
Compressors are a major capital cost item, a key reliability problem and consume huge amounts of energy. For most companies the costs of owning and running compressors are much higher than they should be.
A shortage in general knowledge of how to apply, specify, install and operate compressors is the major reason for these high costs. This training course is designed to address this problem.
Our Total compressor course is an in depth look at common compressors applications, including selection, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Individuals in the compressors and piping system industries will find this to be a valuable course for learning the importance of proper compressors operation and typical behavior in application.
Course objective
Upon completion of this course, participants will have gained a thorough understanding of the various centrifugal and reciprocating compressors configurations available to virtually every industrial user, including mechanical design features, sizing and application criteria, maintainability, reliability and troubleshooting issues. Participants will learn simple techniques and short-cut methods of machinery selection, which can take the place of tedious hand calculations and will serve as rapid means to determine sensitivity or influence of parameter changes on equipment performance.
Participants will be able to determine the most appropriate and efficient matching of compressor. Participants will also acquire knowledge of operating and maintenance issues by getting to know mechanical design, machinery components, as well as proven approaches to monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance of compressor installations.
