Upon completion of this course, you will have the know-how about different types of compressors used in process application and the understanding of the basic theory of reciprocating compressor design. Further you will understand the rod load calculationas well as the effect of rod load reversal.
- Introduction to reciprocating compressors (Module 1)
- Introduction to compressor components (Module 3)
- Working principles of reciprocation compressors (Module 2)
- Compressor mechanics (Module 10)
* Introductory level
- Basics of compressor valves (Module 4)
- Basics of compressor packings (Module 5)
- Compressor piston basics (Module 6)
- Basics of cylinder rings (Module 7)
* Introductory level
Upon completion of this course you will be capable to perform basic calculations for capacity, power, temperature etc. and understand performance curves (PV diagram, PT diagram). Further you can identify and describe function of key components of reciprocating compressors and understand how the compressor flow is controlled by different flow control mechanisms. You can distinguish between different types of cylinder and packing lubrication systems. Finally, you will be capable to describe the function and operation of auxiliary equipment like coolers, pulsation dampeners and separators.
- Capacity control systems (Module 11)
- Cylinder lubrication systems (Module 12)
- Emission control systems (Module 13)
- Auxiliary equipment (Module 16)
* Advanced level
- Capital parts (Module 15)
- Compressor monitoring systems and diagnostics (Module 14)
- Basic thermodynamics (Module 8)
- Applied thermodynamics (Module 9)
* Advanced level
Upon completion of this course you will be capable to understand how to undertake maintenance procedure and to maintain as well as replace performance defining components like valves, packings, pistons and rider rings etc.. You can describe proper equipment operating procedures and evaluate compressor sizing using simulation program and analyze impact of different product technologies. Further, you are able to identify problems in reciprocating compressors using online/offline monitoring systems and gather relevant and discard non-relevant information. In addition, you can evaluate and analyze the problem symptoms and information to arrive at the root cause of a problem as well as define a proper solutions. Understanding the key requirements of API 618 and NACE standards and reading of API 618 datasheets are also learning outcomes.
- Compressor reliability (Module 18)
- Capital parts maintenance (Module 24)
- Compressor valve and packing maintenance (Module 23)
- API 618 and NACE (Module 17)
* Expert level
- Compressor troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) (Module 19)
- Compressor valve troubleshooting (Module 20)
- Rings and packings troubleshooting (Module 21)
- Compressor operation (Module 22)
* Expert level
