CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE & CONDITION EVALUATION

DESCRIPTION

The degree to which compressors are maintained today ranges from “wait until destruction” to a “complete” but extravagant program. This seminar presents maintenance strategies that are economical and yet assure required compressor availability. Participants review the fundamentals of compressors and the techniques for maintaining them. Participants examine proper methods of parts repair techniques as well as diagnostic tests for identifying and determining problems. Participants will study in depth preventive maintenance programs including the purpose of such programs and their planning and implementation.

The seminar will introduce new concepts and approaches through actual case studies, which will enable you to successfully implement new ideas.
