COURSE OVERVIEW

Centrifugal Compressors play an essential role in many petrochemical and industrial plants. Centrifugal compressors commonly run at very high speeds and are exposed to high temperatures. The compressor operation is confined between the Surge and Stonewall limits. The compressor performance also is affected by the variation in operating conditions. Elevated temperature and large centrifugal stresses make the gas turbine operate under critical conditions and require complicated monitoring and protection systems.

Accurate instrumentation, monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance programs are essential for maintaining and increasing the available time of the machines. Understanding and learning Centrifugal compressors more deeply help smooth and free trouble operation. This Centrifugal Compressor training course on Centrifugal Compressor will address the design, performance, operation limits, control system and troubleshooting techniques of centrifugal compressors and the parameters affecting the above.
