Objectives

  • 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.
  • Be knowledgeable about the type of compressors and systems .
  • Be aware of system design considerations in compressed air generation and distribution .
  • Be able to comprehend the principle components, basic operation, and safety considerations associated with air compressors and compressed air systems.
  • Use P&ID, wiring, schematic, and installation detail drawings to install, calibrate, and verify proper operation of instruments  .
  • Explain methods for reducing electrical hazards including intrinsically safe installation .
  • Describe the trend toward using field bus systems and personal computers in process control .
  • Understand the relevance of ISO 9000 standards to maintenance practices and procedures .
