Description

This course provides an overview of the three types of air compressors - reciprocating, rotary, and centrifugal. You will learn how they work, how to cool compressed air, and the hazards associated with compressed air systems. You will also learn safety measures, such as avoiding pressure swings, noise, and injury from particles, depressurizing systems before maintenance, and keeping oil out of air systems. 

 

Upon completion of this course, you will be equipped to handle compressed air systems safely and efficiently.

What you will learn in this course
  • Identify the three types of air compressors and understand how they work.
  • Describe the function of cooling systems in compressed air systems.
  • Apply safety measures when working with compressed air systems.
  • Explain the compression process of single-stage reciprocating compressors.
  • Recognize the hazards associated with compressed air and understand how to avoid them.
Who this course is for:
  • Individuals working in industries that use compressed air systems, such as manufacturing, construction, and automotive.
  • Engineering and technical students interested in learning about air compressors and their safe use.
  • Maintenance and repair personnel responsible for maintaining and repairing compressed air systems.
