Course overview
Compressed air systems supply the air needed to operate plant equipment. Understanding compressed air system components is necessary to effectively operate and maintain plant equipment. The air compressor is one component in a compressed air system. Most systems have several compressors and many auxiliary components. The Compressed Air System Components training course focuses on the design and operation of the auxiliary equipment. It describes the basic components of a compressed air system. It also explains basic troubleshooting techniques used to detect problems in the system. This online training course reviews intercoolers and aftercoolers, air purification, and lubrication and maintenance
This course is part of the Plant Compressed Air Systems training series.
