INTRODUCTION
Centrifugal Compressors play a very essential role in many petrochemical and industrial plants. Centrifugal compressors in general runs at very high speeds and are exposed to high temperature. The compressor operation is confined between the Surge and Stonewall limits. The compressor performance also is affected by the variation in operating conditions. Elevated temperature and large centrifugal stresses make the gas turbine operating under very critical conditions requires very complicated monitoring and protection systems. Accurate instrumentation, monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance programs are essential for maintaining and increasing the available time of the machines. Understanding and learning Centrifugal compressors more deeply help smooth and free trouble operation.
This GLOMACS training course on Centrifugal Compressor will address the design, performance, operation limits, control system and the troubleshooting techniques of centrifugal compressors and the parameters affecting the above.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- Description of the equipment's internal and external part and its function
- Diagnosis and analysis of equipment Failures and troubleshooting
- Maintenance strategies
- Effective inspection, measurements and which parameter to test
- Preventive and predictive maintenance methods
- Analysis performances for vibration, oil analysis and bearing failure detection
Objectives
By the end of this GLOMACS training course, participants will be able to:
- Familiarise different compressor designs
- Learn how different design parameter affects the machines performance and operation
- Familiarise the different types of gas compressors and their application
- Deepen the understanding of the limits of the compressor operation
