Description
This 20H masterclass is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of

Pumps

Centrifugal compressors

Reciprocating compressors

This understanding is a prerequisite for a successful and flawless operation of your plant and piping system.

This 20H masterclass includes extensive graphics, 3D animations and cross-sectional views to give you a virtual practical exposure on rotating equipment.

The objective of this masterclass is threefold

1. Break down for you all the pumps, centrifugal compressor and reciprocating compressors operating principles into easily digestible concepts like

Cavitation

Performance curves

Fluid Head

Net Positive Suction Head, NPSH

System resistance

Surge and Stonewall

Capacity control

Pulsation control

Lubrication

Cooling

.

2. Illustrate through 3D animations and cross-sectional views the main rotating equipment mechanical components, state their function and operating limits, like

Impellers

Bearings

Mechanical seals

Packing

Crossheads

Pistons

Compressor valves

.

3. Provide guidelines and best practices for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of rotating equipment in accordance with the latest API Standards

Also included in this masterclass 2 valuable Excel Workbook

Centrifugal Compressor Performance Excel Workbook

Pump Calculations Excel Workbook

These workbooks provide qualitative and quick comparisons and application notes for centrifugal compressors and pumps. They describe calculations and procedures to predict performance characteristics, especially head, discharge pressure and power.
