CBF127: Compressor, Blower, and Fan Maintenance Training Course

Duration: 2 Days Classroom or 16 hours Online
Audience: Maintenance Engineers, Mechanical Technicians, Plant Engineers, Compressor Operators, Industrial Maintenance Staff, and Supervisors.
Prerequisites: Basic mechanical knowledge and/or a 3-year associate's diploma in a technical field. Some experience with rotating machinery is preferred.
Course Material: Compressor maintenance training slides and certificate of completion.

This comprehensive industrial compressor servicing training course covers all aspects of compressor, blower and fan maintenance for industrial applications. Participants will learn about different types of compressors, including reciprocating, centrifugal, rotary screw, and positive displacement systems. The course emphasizes preventive maintenance strategies, compressor inspection and testing techniques, and safety procedures.

Students will understand the importance of proper maintenance in extending equipment life, reducing downtime, and improving compressor reliability and efficiency. The training includes hands-on components covering disassembly, compressor overhaul services, repair procedures, and reassembly techniques. Special focus is given to lubrication systems, capacity control, vibration analysis techniques, surge protection, and component identification.

By the end of the course, attendees will possess comprehensive skills in industrial compressor operation and care, and troubleshooting. Participants will understand the difference between positive displacement and dynamic compressors, including reciprocating, centrifugal, rotary screw, and dynamic compression systems, along with their operational principles and maintenance needs.

Students will grasp preventive maintenance schedules, routine compressor inspection and testing procedures, and be equipped to perform daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly maintenance tasks. Attendees will gain expertise in troubleshooting common problems in reciprocating compressors and solutions, such as how to troubleshoot high discharge pressure in compressors, vibration problems, and surge conditions.

Participants will learn about oil analysis and monitoring for compressor lubrication systems, best lubrication practices for rotary screw compressors, oil selection, filtration requirements, and proper bearing maintenance. Students will also master safety procedures, lockout/tagout requirements, and emergency shutdown and safety procedures for compressors.

The course will enable attendees to develop maintenance programs, interpret predictive maintenance tools for industrial compressors, and implement energy efficiency optimization in compressor systems.
