What You Will Learn:
Sizing compressors
Developing compressor system design pack
Developing purchasing documents
Developing M & O checksheets
Course Approach
Learn - We will present the basic compressor theory that will provide context and a solid foundation.
Practice - We will go through examples together where we apply the compressor theory.
Apply - You will be given an opportunity to apply the theory and lessons learned from examples to complete the two class projects which will then be evaluated by the course leader.
