This course introduces knowledge of compressor design and applications. Topics covered include valve design, clearance, capacity control, compressor components, performance, and vibration measurement. The approach uses current field case histories to illustrate Pressure Time (PT) and valve vibration events, rod load and crosshead vibration, and system losses.
As a bonus, Allied Reliability subject matter experts may visit throughout the class to discuss topics such as the latest design trends in compressor components, lubrication practices, SmartCBM™, and other relevant, innovative reliability elements.
