Compressors & Turbines - Compressor Seals (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)

Predictive maintenance of rotating plant is vital to the budgetary success of the operations organisation. On completion of this Centrifugal Compressor & Steam Turbine training program, the delegate will be able to critically analyze the methodologies employed within the organization and implement improvements where required.

The complete Centrifugal Compressors & Steam Turbines program consists of 16 modules (individual PowerPoint presentations). It provides holistic training that covers the Design, Operation, and Maintenance of Centrifugal Compressors and Steam Turbines

This document refers to the training module 6 only: Compressor Seals. Every Centrifugal Compressor has two sealing areas. They are:

1. Two shaft seals on both ends of the shaft are used to separate the gas stream from the bearing area (chamber) and from the surrounding environment.
2. Internal seals are used to reduce the internal leakage between the rotor and the casing especially around the balance drum.

Particular care must be taken when the gas is combustible or toxic.

Upon the successful completion of the full program (all 16 modules), you will achieve the following:

•  An understanding of the construction and operational constraints of centrifugal compressors and steam turbines.
•  Knowledge of how to optimally maintain the equipment for the benefit of the company.
•  Learn hints and tips for practical application of monitoring technologies so as to achieve the best results.
