COMPRESSOR OPERATION, MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

INTRODUCTION:

Production continuity is a keyword in any process of production activities, in which power system play important role to keep all of the operation.

Compressor is known for its capability to store energy in the form of air pressure. In industrial application, compressors are completed with auxiliaries to control the air flow, pressure, and actuators. Compressors will become advantage if it’s operated and maintained properly. Compressors principles and their system performance however should be understood by operator and any person who get involved with them to increase performance of the operation, maintenance, safety, etc.

TRAINING OUTCOME:

In this training, compressors will be discussed from its principle, application, components and its maintenance. Moreover, their control system to improve performance and safety will also be introduced. After completion of this training participant will understand about the basic principle, application and control system that will help them for improving safety and problem solving on operation and maintenance activities.

6. OPERATION, CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE: 
   1. Explain the following methods employed to control compressor output:
      • Start/stop, dual control
      • Variable-speed
      • Suction line valve
      • Suction or discharge valve
      • Adjustable stroke
      • Variable clearance volume
   2. List and describe the operation of the various types of controllers and safety devices used in a compressed air system. Describe how these devices can be tested while system is in operation.
   3. Describe the internal and external methods of compressor lubrication.
   4. State the various operational checks done by an operator on both the compressor(s) and the compressed air/gas system to ensure safe and efficient operation.
   5. State the preventive maintenance requirements of compressors, auxiliaries, piping and receivers.
   6. State the probable causes of compressed air/gas compressor, receiver or pipeline explosions.
