Course Description
This course covers the construction, design, operation, and maintenance of rotary, centrifugal and rotary
compressors and pumps, as well as various topics and types of pumps, compressors, potential problems,
maintenance concepts, and troubleshooting techniques. It also covers different alignment methods for pumps such
as optical alignment, straight edge / RIM, and Face alignment, reverses cursor alignment, reverses connection, and
laser alignment. Participants will learn how to diagnose soft foot conditions and implement correction techniques.
The purpose of the course
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:
Describe of centrifugation and positive displacement including pump design, rules, performance
comparisons, characteristic curves, and performance testing.
Check pump performance and apply maintenance and troubleshooting techniques accordingly.
Determining types of frequency pumps, maintaining them, and detecting and repairing faults.
Determine the problems of the centrifugal pump and perform maintenance and troubleshooting.
Determine the types of compressors, how they work, their common problems, and the implementation of
troubleshooting techniques.
Apply different methods for tailoring pumps such as optical alignment, straight edge / RIM, and Face
alignment, reverse cursor alignment, reverse connection, and laser alignment.
Diagnosis of soft foot conditions and correction techniques.
