COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

 

Compressed air, together with electricity, is today the most frequently used carrier of energy in industry. Whereas the subject of electricity and its associated electrical appliances is well known and understood, the possibilities, advantages and essentials of compressed air are far less well understood. In general, compressed air systems have advantages in safety, cleanliness, flexibility and the ready availability of the medium. This course is aimed at assisting the user of compressed air systems how to select the most suitable system to install and to help in the understanding how such a system can be maintained at a high level of efficiency. The source of the compressed air power, the compressor and its associated equipment, must be selected and maintained with care. In many cases the compressed air system is a major consumer of energy and any decrease in efficiency will adversely affect the overall operating cost of the plant. Attention is paid in the course to the pressure systems safety regulations and approved codes of practice as well as safety at work regulations. The course makes use of numerous worked examples where calculations are deemed appropriate to quantify the various system parameters.
