Windorck Training Courses
Basic Compressor Analysis (ACQ1)
The Basic Compressor class is designed to acquaint the new analyst with the analysis equipment, the equipment that is being testing, the industry standards and best practices in analysis techniques, test points and analysis methods. After the course, the analyst should be able to:
- Determine the mechanical condition of each compressor valve
- Identify flow restrictions or excessive pressure drops
- Find leaking rings
- Detect loose piston on the rod
- Determine if the pockets are leaking
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the capacity control and unloader devices
- Locate external process leaks including packing
- Survey the bearings, pins and bushings for extra clearance
- Measure the HP, capacity and efficiency of each cylinder
- Determine the effective operating clearance volume
- Other vibration related problems (looseness, alignment, etc.)
Training is valid for 180 days from date of purchase.
Basic Compressor Analysis (AQE1)
The Basic Engine Analysis class is designed to acquaint a new analyst with the analysis equipment and the engines being tested. This course also reviews some industry standards and analysis best practice techniques. After the course, the engine Analyst should be able to:
- Determine the proper analyzer parameters to sample on an engine
- Understand the theory of an internal combustion engine
- Identify normal pressure, vibration and ignition patterns on two (2) and four (4) stroke engines
- Verify corrupt data and the methods on fixing the data
- Evaluate the pressure data on the Engine Report to determine performance issues
- Understand the collection and analysis of primary and secondary ignition
- Recognize basic engine issues like:
- Unbalance cylinder Peak Firing Pressures (PFP)
- Performance issues in the pressure traces
- Excessive horsepower/fuel cost calculations
- Leaking piston rings and valves
- Improper adjustments/wear in the valve train
- Spark plug, wire, coil and primary ignition faults
Training is vaild for 180 days from date of purchase.
