Compressors and Turbines: Operations, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The Compressors and Turbines: Operations, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting course provides comprehensive training on the operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting of compressors and turbines used in various industries. Compressors are used to increase the pressure of gases, while turbines are used to convert fluid energy into mechanical work.

The course covers the following key topics:

1. Compressor and turbine fundamentals: Understanding the principles, components, and types of compressors and turbines, including centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, axial flow compressors, and steam/gas turbines.
2. Operational procedures: Learning about the safe and efficient operation of compressors and turbines, including startup and shutdown sequences, control systems, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting techniques.
3. Maintenance practices: Understanding the best practices for compressor and turbine maintenance, including routine inspections, lubrication, filter replacement, bearing maintenance, and rotor balancing.
4. Troubleshooting techniques: Developing skills in diagnosing and resolving common issues and failures in compressors and turbines, such as vibration problems, seal leakage, surge, and performance degradation.
5. Safety considerations: Understanding the safety protocols, hazard identification, and risk mitigation measures associated with compressor and turbine operations and maintenance.
6. Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance: Exploring techniques for monitoring the condition of compressors and turbines, such as vibration analysis, thermography, and oil analysis, to detect potential problems and plan maintenance activities proactively.
7. Case studies and practical exercises: Analyzing real-world case studies, participating in hands-on exercises, and simulating troubleshooting scenarios to reinforce learning and practical application of knowledge.
