Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
  • Relate reciprocating compressor components to various failure modes.
  • State how crank angle measurements affect the reciprocating compressor data plots.
  • Interpret PV Plots: Use cylinder pressure versus volume plots, as well as performance monitoring to determine throw condition.
  • Calculate rod load conditions (reversal).
  • Discover the full applications and benefits of rod drop and rod position measurements.
  • Conduct compressor vibration analysis.
Course Length
