Industrial Equipment: Compressors, Pumps, Motors & Variable-Speed Drives: Selection, Sizing, Applications, Operation, Diagnostic Testing, Troubleshooting & Maintenance

Course Overview

Pumps and compressors find extensive use in power plants, water circulation systems, A/C and heating systems, and many other applications. Keeping these machines running with least troubles and shutdown decreases the downtime of the whole system. Right machine selection appropriate to the right application, right machine operation, effective maintenance programs, reliable monitoring system, and skilled personnel capable of doing the right trouble shooting are essential requirements for prolong machine life. All the above can be achieved via deeper understanding of the machines construction and tolerances, the limits and constrains on their operation, and the more effective controlling methods.
