PROGRAM INTRODUCTION:

 

This course introduces the students to centrifugal compressor fundamentals and their principles of operation. The students will review the various models of centrifugal compressor manufactured by Clark, Dresser-Clark, Dresser, Dresser-Rand, Ingersoll-Rand and Worthington. It provides in-depth coverage of all existing support systems such as lube oil, seal oil and dry gas seal systems as well as the instrumentation systems required to keep these units in operation. The students will learn the correct procedures to perform routine maintenance or a complete tear down and reassembly for scheduled overhauls.

 

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

 

To provide a broader understanding of reciprocating compressors in technology, performances and operation.

On completion of the course, the participants will know the technology of theses compressors, have improved their knowledge of operation practices, understand the main troubles of the machine, can be involved in troubleshooting.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

 

Operators, panel operators, supervisors and all categories of staff involved in the operation of centrifugal compressors and maintenance technicians seeking to further their knowledge of operating conditions.
