This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the various types of reciprocating, rotary, and dynamic compressors and pumps. This includes trunk piston, sliding crosshead piston, diaphragm, rotary screw, straight lobe, sliding vane, liquid ring, centrifugal, and axial compressors as well as piston pumps, plunger pumps, rotary pumps, screw pumps, two- and three-lobe pumps, cam pumps, vane pumps, bellows-type metering pumps, diaphragm pumps, canned motor pumps, and centrifugal pumps. Bearings are also covered thoroughly. The characteristics, selection criteria, sizing calculations, sealing arrangements, common problems, repair techniques, as well as the preventive and predictive maintenance of these compressors and pumps, are covered in detail.
This course is a must for those who use this equipment. It covers how compressors, pumps, and bearings operate and provides the guidelines and rules that must be followed for their successful application
