Engine Condition Monitoring Systems Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will gain a basic understanding of the main components and subsystems of Engine Condition Monitoring Systems (ECMS). Participants will learn to critique the advantages, applications, performance, and economics of different ECMS and ECMS features and learn about the influence of various auxiliary systems, including instrumentation and controls, process accessories, and the process itself.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers, technologists, and other operational personnel who currently or may in the future be involved with the technology or business of running a process plant, a refinery, a power plant, and/or an oil and gas facility. Personnel can be involved in:
- Large scale commercial production and/or maintenance
- Smaller operations with smaller machinery that may be less complex
- Operations
- Maintenance, repair, and overhaul
- Systems optimization and performance verification
- Specification, retrofit design
- Business and management of machinery systems and personnel
- Support for machinery trains and their support systems
Course Outlines:
Introductory definitions including wave form, amplitude, frequency, total signal, filtered signal, phase angle, natural frequency, resonance, attenuation, damping, pulsation, and surge.
