Turbo Machinery Operation & Maintenance

Background & About the Course

Rotating equipment or those may be simmply called as a group as  Turbo Machinaries is widely used in various industries and plays a vital role in end-to-end production operations. Mastering the principles of rotating equipment is essential for effective maintenance and operational efficiency. Identifying failure modes and monitoring symptoms of failure are crucial for establishing an effective maintenance program.

This course begins with an overview of rotating equipment, including definitions, types, primary functions, and general characteristics related to performance. It then delves into specific types of rotating equipment: pumps, compressors, turbines, and fans/blowers, covering their classifications, performance characteristics, and common failure modes. The training also addresses alignment, balancing, and predictive maintenance techniques for rotating equipment.
