Why You Should Attend
This course is for beginning and intermediate level engineers in the petroleum, chemical and gas industries or any other individual faced with the challenge of moving a gas or vapor from one pressure level to another. The beginning engineer will be introduced to how a compressor works, the function of the internal components and the various types of compressors. All attendees will profit from reviewing the trade-offs between the various types of compressors, methods of control and rerating capabilities.
The book “Compressors: Selection and Sizing” by Royce Brown will be used as a reference.
Compressors to be covered are:
• Reciprocating - lubed and non lubed, vertical and horizontal, single and multistage
• Helical Lobe - oil free
• Axial
• Centrifugal - single stage overhung and pipeline style, between bearing multistage in various configurations, and integrally geared multistage
The following list of topics will be covered for each type of compressor:
• Mechanical Design
•
Sizing
•
Performance
•
Control
• Application Examples
•
Re-rating
•
Accessory Equipment
