Pumps & Compressors Predictive Maintenance & Toubleshooting

COURSE OVERVIEW

It is known fact that Pumps and Compressors are critical machines and because of this it is most important that the appropriate maintenance is applied, which is of course more efficient than preventive maintenance which is time based.

PDH: 35 Hours | CEUs: 3.5 Credits

PRE-REQUISITES

Maintenance personnel, who are involved in the monitoring and predictive, diagnostics of pumps and compressors.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

The course will assume that the participants will be familiar with the design and construction of pumps and compressors. From the angle of a component-by-component perspective, the course will investigate the root cause of failure and relates these to operating conditions. Design, installation, lubrication and wear related failure mechanisms, these will be identified and a detail understanding of the RCM troubleshooting tools with practical examples.
