COURSE OVERVIEW

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

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Dynamic Analysis for a Reciprocating Compressor System. It covers the key components and functions of reciprocating compressor and the differences between reciprocating and centrifugal compressors; the principles of dynamic analysis and compressor operational cycles; the types of dynamic forces in reciprocating compressors and the factors affecting compressor vibration; the modal analysis in mechanical systems, natural frequencies of compressor systems and modal testing techniques and instrumentation; and the vibration sources in reciprocating compressors and techniques for measuring compressor vibrations. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the dynamic modeling of compressor components; the compressor operating conditions using vibration data; the dynamic response analysis and the importance of compressor balancing; the methods of vibration isolation, compressor foundation design and active vibration control techniques; the low vibration operation, dynamic simulation techniques and transient analysis; the advanced vibration modeling and the impact of system modifications on dynamic performance; the dynamic analysis in compressor maintenance; and troubleshooting compressor dynamic issues.
