Description
Compressors, fans and pumps are among the most frequently used mechanical machines in industrial and commercial enterprises. Achieving correct and efficient application has therefore considerable economic impact. This requires a clear grasp of the basic operating principles, machine and system performance characteristics, and selection criteria, plus knowledge of common problems and repair techniques, preventive/ predictive maintenance.
Target Audience
Design and project engineers and technologists, plant and facility engineers, consultants, mechanical engineers and technologists, maintenance and operation personnel and other technical personnel who need to upgrade/ refresh their current knowledge of compressors, pumps and associated systems.
Related Jobs or Careers: Design and project engineers and technologists, plant and facility engineers, consultants, mechanical engineers and technologist
