ME0780 : Reciprocating Compressor

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
The aim of this course is to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of fundamentals and practice of reciprocating compressors. Many present-day compressors are likely to have been designed with the emphasis on reduced weight, less floor space and less initial cost. Today, it is also necessary to consider aspects of maintainability and life cycle cost. So the course looks at issues of design, operation, preventative maintenance, overhaul and repair, troubleshooting and safety in operation.
At the completion of the course, participant will be able to identify the various applications of reciprocating compressor; recognize the design and materials for compressor components; review and improve the operation and maintenance of reciprocating compressors; carryout overhauling and repairing techniques of reciprocating compressors; apply troubleshooting to various compressor problems; identify the importance of preventive maintenance of reciprocating compressors; and emphasize the safety in the operation and maintenance and reciprocating compressors.
