Course Content

  • COMPRESSORS TECHNOLOGY - Duration : 1 Day

      • Hydrogen compression: compressors types. Practical implementation through a given process.
      • Technology: Casing, stationary and rotating parts, according to the machine type.
      • Auxiliaries: lube oil, sealing,… according to the machine type.
      • Safety devices: vibrations, bearings/thrust bearing temperatures, oil pressure… according to the machine type.
      • Natural gas compressor technology vs hydrogen one.
      • Demonstrations: study of actual parts and open machines.
