What you'll learn

  • Understand the working principles of reciprocating compressors for a successful operation of your plant and piping system
  • Understand the construction details of reciprocating compressors for a successful maintenance and troubleshooting (crankshafts, bearings, crossheads, connecting rods, pistons, packings, rings, valves, unloaders...)
  • Perform various calculations to size and assess compressor performance (head, discharge temperature, inlet capacity, piston displacement, volumetric efficiency…)
  • Understand what affects the selection and design of reciprocating compressors (process conditions, gas characteristics, foundation needs, power supply, interstaging, altitude…)
  • Know how you can adapt your compressor capacity to your system demand changes using various techniques (intake valve unloading, clearance pocket, variable volume valve, 5 step control…)
  • Understand the concept of pulsation, how it can affect your compressor performance and how to control it according to the API 618 standard
  • Know how to size suction and discharge volume bottles to control reciprocating compressor pulsation
  • Understand the importance of compressor lubrication
  • Discover the various compressor lubrication systems and how they operate (splash, splash and flood, full pressure circulation…)
  • Understand the importance of compressor cooling, intercooling and aftercooling
  • Discover the various compressor cooling systems and how they operate (series flow, parallel flow, closed systems…)
  • Analyze the problems in operation related to compressor valves, pulsation control, capacity control…

Requirements

  • Some engineering or field knowledge is preferable but not mandatory. All the concepts are explained in depth using an easy to understand language to allow students to build their knowledge from the ground up
  • Having attended our "Centrifugal Compressors : Principles, Operation & Design" training course is a plus but not mandatory
  • Having attended our "Understand & Predict Your Centrifugal Compressor Performance & Behavior" training course is a plus but not mandatory

Description

Reciprocating compressors of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.

This course is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of reciprocating compressors. This understanding is a prerequisite for a successful operation of your plant and piping system.

The course includes extensive graphics, 3D animations and cross-sectional views to give you a virtual practical exposure on reciprocating compressors.

The objective of this course is threefold :

1. Break down for you all the reciprocating compressor operating principles into easily digestible concepts like gas compression, capacity control, pulsation control, compressor lubrication and cooling...

2. Illustrate through 3D animations and cross-sectional views the main compressor mechanical components, state their function and operating limits, like bearings, packings, crossheads, pistons, valves...

3. Provide guidelines and best practices for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of reciprocating compressors in accordance with the API 618 standard

So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.

Hope to see you there
