Centrifugal Compressor "Live"

Why Choose This Training Course?

What purpose does a centrifugal compressor serve? A centrifugal compressor is a sub-class of turbomachinery that achieves a rise in pressure by adding kinetic energy to a continuous flow of fluids through the roller or impeller.

Operation of centrifugal compressors considerably depend on speed, horsepower and driver type. They form an important part of essential turbomachinery and hence should be maintained and repaired if needed.

This MCO training course will empower you with complete information and understanding of centrifugal compressors. Through this course, you will acquire the required knowledge, experience and skill to work with centrifugal compressors and would be able to contribute to your organization by ensuring their optimal operation and conducting regular maintenance and repair to prevent huge losses for the organization.

This, in turn, will demonstrate your skill and ability to oversee the operation of all processes, providing opportunities for senior roles and responsibilities not just in your organization but others too.
