Session 2: System knowledge

Upon completion of this course you will be capable to perform basic calculations for capacity, power, temperature etc. and understand performance curves (PV diagram, PT diagram). Further you can identify and describe function of key components of reciprocating compressors and understand how the compressor flow is controlled by different flow control mechanisms. You can distinguish between different types of cylinder and packing lubrication systems. Finally, you will be capable to describe the function and operation of auxiliary equipment like coolers, pulsation dampeners and separators.

Session 3: Solving issues

Upon completion of this course you will be capable to understand how to undertake maintenance procedure and to maintain as well as replace performance defining components like valves, packings, pistons and rider rings etc.. You can describe proper equipment operating procedures and evaluate compressor sizing using simulation program and analyze impact of different product technologies. Further, you are able to identify problems in reciprocating compressors using online/offline monitoring systems and gather relevant and discard non-relevant information. In addition, you can evaluate and analyze the problem symptoms and information to arrive at the root cause of a problem as well as define a proper solutions. Understanding the key requirements of API 618 and NACE standards and reading of API 618 datasheets are also learning outcomes.
