Why Choose this Online Training Course?
This Mechanical Equipment online training course will provide a comprehensive understanding of equipment operating characteristics. It will introduce delegates to essential types of mechanical equipment, including positive displacement and dynamic pumps and compressors, motors and drives and their associated systems and components. The applications of these equipments will be discussed along with their suitability for different operational duties and selection criteria. In addition, the seminar will focus on associated equipment including packing, mechanical sealing systems, bearings and valves.
This AZTech online training course will focus on maximising the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of this equipment by providing a thorough understanding of the characteristics, common problems, condition monitoring and maintenance criteria related to machinery and equipment operation.
This AZTech online training course will feature:
- Pumps and Pumping Systems
- Compressors and Compression Systems
- Motors and Variable Speed Drives
- Discussion of associated equipment such as mechanical seal design, bearings and valves
- Condition monitoring and Predictive Maintenance techniques
What are the Goals?
By the end of this AZTech online training course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the different types of pumps & compressors & learn about selection, operation and maintenance strategies
- Operate pumps and compressors as close as possible to the design efficiency and monitor their availability and reliability
- Identify and learn about associated components such as mechanical seals & bearings and identify their failure mechanisms
- Condition, monitor and troubleshoot pump and compressor problems
- Specify, operate and maintain fluid movers (Motors) and drivers (Variable Speed Drives)
Who is this Online Training Course for?
This AZTech online training course is suitable to those who wish to update themselves on mechanical equipment including pump and compressor technology, judge the suitability of different types of pumps and compressors, drive equipment and associated components for their needs, and learn how to operate and maintain them for the benefit of their organisations.
This AZTech online training course is suitable to a wide range of Technical professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Professionals in Maintenance, Engineering and Production
- Those with little or no prior formal background who function as Managers, Planners, Inspectors, Designers, Researchers, Investors or Procurers
- Those who are or will become involve at any stage in project applications and applicable maintenance technologies
How will this Online Training Course be Presented?
This AZTech online training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes workshop principles with formal lectures, Videos and animations, question & answer sessions, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant case studies will be provided to illustrate the application of each tool in an operations environment. There will be ample opportunities for discussion and sharing.
