COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

Engineers from all disciplines and other professionals and technical personnel in both the industrial and commercial environments need a good understanding of the basic concepts that underlie the application of mechanical engineering to the successful and efficient installation and operation of mechanical and plant equipment and systems. This course is aimed at participants who either had no formal training in mechanical engineering or are seeking a refresher to increase and enhance their current knowledge. 

Further, the course will also discuss the basic concepts that underlie the application of mechanical engineering; the pumps, drivers and pumping systems; the types and applications of couplings and pressure vessels; the various applications and functions of pipelines; and the types, standards and layout of piping system; the fans, blowers and compressors including rotary compressors, centrifugal compressors and reciprocating compressors. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the operating principles of diesel engines; the types and applications of valves, heat exchangers, bearings and lubrication systems; the characteristics of fired boilers, process heaters, heat recovery equipment, HVAC and refrigeration systems; the various types of storage tanks; and the concepts of instrumentation and control for mechanical equipment.
