Pump and Compressor Technologies Course
Introduction:
This program offers a comprehensive overview of different types of compressors and pumps, including reciprocating, rotary, and dynamic variants. It covers a wide range of compressors such as trunk piston, sliding crosshead piston, diaphragm, rotary screw, straight lobe, sliding vane, liquid ring, centrifugal, and axial compressors. It also delves into various pump types, including piston pumps, plunger pumps, rotary pumps, screw pumps, two- and three-lobe pumps, cam pumps, vane pumps, bellows-type metering pumps, diaphragm pumps, canned motor pumps, and centrifugal pumps.
