What is Covered in This Course

Centrifugal compressors of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical, and process industries, as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.

This course is designed to give you a complete understanding of the construction details and function of centrifugal compressors. This understanding is a prerequisite for successful plant operations and piping system operations.

The course includes extensive graphics, cut sections, and 3D animations to give you practical virtual exposure to centrifugal compressors.

The objective of this course is threefold :

    1. Break down for you all the centrifugal compressors operating principles into easily digestible concepts like compressor head, performance curve, system resistance, surge, stonewall, etc
    2. Illustrate through 3D animations and cut-sections the main compressor mechanical components like impellers, shafts, bearings, seals, etc
    3. Provide guidelines and best practices for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting

This course also covers other types of compressors like axial compressors, rotary screw compressors, and reciprocating compressors, just to name a few.

The objective is to observe the similarities in both the performance and mechanical aspects of various types of compressors.

So after enrolling in this course, you will learn valuable information on centrifugal compressors and a great deal on other types of compressors.

So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the course curriculum, and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.

Course Objectives

    • Understand centrifugal compressors working principles for successful operations of your plant and piping system
    • Understand centrifugal compressors construction details (impeller, volute, shaft, inlet guide vane, bearings, mechanical seals, etc.)
    • Learn how to read and interpret your compressor curves
    • Optimize the operation efficiency of your compressors
    • Analyze the problems in operation related to bearings, mechanical seals, and flow control
    • Apply the best practices and guidelines for maintenance, problem-solving, and troubleshooting

This is my first course with WR Training and I'm very satisfied with it ! I was looking for a training on compressors until I came across this one. I'm impressed by the quality of the course, by the graphics, the animations and the slides. I can see that the instructor did put a lot of efforts and hard work to make this course. A lot of concepts are now clear for me and I feel more comfortable to exchange with my peers and the mechanical department of my company. Thank you for bringing such wonderful online courses. For sure I will look for other courses with this instructor. Keep up the good work !

The course is beautiful to watch and contains extremely valuable information on rotating equipment and compressors. The basic principles are explained step by step and illustrated with many practical examples. The course includes many machine cut sections and 3D animations which helped me a lot visualizing how compressors and their mechanical components work. This is really appreciated. I think this is the first course on the net that covers the subject of compressors this way making all complex concepts look very simple and understandable. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn and demystify how compressors work and how they can be maintained and operated flawlessly. Thanks for bringing such high quality technical courses !
