Maintenance of Gas Compressors
Introduction:
The course will introduce delegates to the various types of compressors and associated terminology. Centrifugal and positive-displacement compressors, packing, mechanical seals and sealing systems, bearings and couplings will all be discussed. The application of the different types of compressors will be discussed along with their suitability for different operational duties. Compressor operation, troubleshooting and maintenance will be dealt with in depth.
The course covers how these machines work on process, mechanical aspects, wear, lubrication and troubleshooting by vibration analysis and other techniques. The course provides participants with knowledge for inspecting and monitoring compressors, and details how to make fault detections and diagnoses. Emphasis is placed upon the importance of a combined condition monitoring and strip-down inspection approach to maintenance. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
