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 Screw Air Compressors Troubleshooting. It covers the fundamentals of screw air compressors, basic working principle and compressor design types; the key components of air end assemblies, bearings, seals, lubrication, oil systems and valves, dryers and cooling systems; the operating parameters, safety considerations, air end (rotors), bearings and seals and oil system; and the valves and control systems, cooling system, auxiliary equipment and air delivery issues. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the mechanical failures, oil system problems, cooling system problems, vibration and noise issues as well as electrical and control problems; the systematic troubleshooting approach, visual inspection techniques and data interpretation and monitoring; the pressure testing of air circuits, lubricant quality tests, ultrasonic leak detection and thermal imaging; and the portable vibration analyzers, flow meters and pressure gauges, endoscopes for internal inspection and online monitoring systems. 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the daily, weekly and monthly checks, lubricant & filter replacement schedules, cooling system cleaning practices and electrical and control system checks; the vibration analysis, oil condition monitoring, thermographic surveys and online performance monitoring; and the corrective maintenance, record keeping and documentation as well as reliability and efficiency improvements.
