The course is designed to provide participants with an up-to-date overview on maintaining gas engines. It covers the troubleshooting operation and maintenance of gas turbine generator; the best preventative maintenance requirements of the gas turbine support systems; the major gas turbine mechanical maintenance procedures; the construction, support systems and the mechanical maintenance of the gas turbine generator; the different types of reciprocating compressors; the materials of construction; and the effect of ring type on leakage control.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to set the internal clearances of the compressor for maximum operating efficiency; specify the appropriate preventive and predictive maintenance procedure; explain the different controlling mechanisms for efficient and safe compressor operation; evaluate reciprocating compressors and eliminate problems with troubleshooting techniques; and carryout preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance on gas and diesel engines including CRU’s and generators.
