Online Compressor eLearning

Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters ...r this heat into water. The system employs an evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion valve, hot water circulating pump and controls to accomplish this function. In this course the student will learn about commercial heat pump water heater sizing and applications. In addition, the student will learn about design and installations considerations and both field and laboratory perspectives  more...

Evaporative Cooling Design Guidelines ...nology is a versatile and energy-efficient alternative to compressor-based cooling. Compared to air-conditioning which uses mechanical refrigeration, evaporative cooling can fully satisfy building cooling loads using one-fourth the energy of conventional equipment. The performance of evaporative systems deteriorates as the humidity increases. Consequently, evaporative systems are not  more...

Brayton Cycle Gas Turbine for Propulsion Application Analysis ...ion output) are plotted in a few figures as a function of compressor pressure ratio, gas turbine inlet temperature and working fluid mass flow rate. It should be noted that this online course does not deal with costs (capital, operational or maintenance). In this course, the student gets familiar with the Brayton Cycle, its components, T - s diagram, operation and major performance trends.  more...

Air and Gas Compressors ...tions, characteristics, and operation of various types of compressors. Reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, and axial flow compressors are covered. The presentation is based on air compressors, but the principles apply to all gas and vapor compressors, such as those used on construction sites, refineries, process industry, refrigeration, and air conditioning. Basic thermodynamic compression  more...

Fundamentals of Refrigeration ... into sections to study each one of the basic components (compressor, condenser, expansion and evaporator). At the end, a section is included to cover the complete refrigeration cycle. The purpose of this section is to show the student how changes in one of the components can affect the overall performance of the complete cycle. This section is especially important because, although each  more...

Theory and Application of Reciprocating Compressors ...s, and operation of positive displacement (reciprocating) compressors. This course is oriented toward engineers involved in specification, selection, application and operation of gas compressors. The presentation concentrates on large industrial compressors as in natural gas transmission and process plants, but is applicable to all reciprocating compressor units. The course begins with an  more...

Air Conditioning Systems ...ne in which a system of mechanical components - usually a compressor, a fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil and a chemical refrigerant - extract heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated. The cleaning function of air conditioners is performed by filters. Diverse geographical and operating conditions require considerably different types  more...

Overview of Refrigeration Systems ...ndenser to reject the heat from the refrigerant system A Compressor to establish the pressures required to force the heat to travel "uphill." A Liquid Metering Device to regulate the flow of refrigerant and to establish two pressure zones. The normal strategy is to get the heat to the refrigerant in an evaporator and then transfer the refrigerant to a condenser where the heat can  more...

Gas Pipeline Hydraulics ...oblems. Increasing pipeline throughput using intermediate compressor stations as well as pipe loops will be discussed. The strength requirement of pipes, allowable operating pressure and hydrostatic test pressure will be reviewed with reference to the DOT code requirements. Several fully solved example problems are used to illustrate the concepts introduced in the various sections of the  more...

Final Cut Pro 4 ... complete standalone applications: LiveType, Sound Track, Compressor, and Cinema Tools, allowing users more creative possibilities than ever before. Certified Apple Trainer Nathan Haggard begins the course with lessons on capturing video and audio, importing graphics and music from CDs, following up with more advanced editing techniques: adding special effects, animating video, creating  more...
