COMPRESSOR AND PRIME MOVER OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION :

This course is designed to improve efficiency in the operation of compressors and their prime movers by teaching important fundamentals to operating and maintenance personnel. The course covers each system and subsystem in detail and emphasizes the do’s and don’ts that can seriously affect the efficiency and life of the units. Participants receive handouts: Upon completion of this course, participants will have gained a thorough understanding of the various centrifugal (i.e. turbo) and reciprocating compressor configurations available to virtually every industrial user. Items discussed include mechanical design features, sizing and application criteria, maintainability, reliability, vulnerability and troubleshooting issues.

BENEFIT :

Learn simple techniques and short-cut methods of machinery selection,
Be able to determine the most appropriate and efficient matching of compressor to driver. Also acquire knowledge of operating and maintenance issues
