ME0978 : Howden Screw Compressor MK/WRV Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of screw compressors. It covers the compression cycle and the fundamental of operation of twin screw; the normal operation and shutdown procedures; the construction characteristics including API 619 compliance; the variable volume control MVI and AVI; the performance characteristics and superfeed; the compressor auxiliary equipment and functions; and the installation checks on alignment of couplings and unit troubleshooting and diagnostics.
During this interactive course participants will learn the major overhaul and dismantling procedures on a screw compressor; the detailed inspection and checking on the clearances of components and bearings; the assembly procedures, detailed measurements and setting of clearances; the pressure testing of the screw compressor, loading and unloading pressures; the efficient measurements and plotting of the operating curves; the preventive maintenance procedures on a daily, weekly and annual basis; and the efficiency and performance monitoring of screw compressors in a professional manner.
