APPLIED PRINCIPLES OF ENGINES and COMPRESSORS

CONTROLLING PULSATIONS IN COMPRESSOR and PIPING SYSTEMS October 21-23 - Southwest Research Institute
San Antonio, Texas

Controlling Pulsations in Compressor and Piping Systems material has been specifically tailored to match today’s engineering environment where performance and cost effectiveness are as important in plant design as safety and reliability. While technically a short course for engineers, practical experience and common sense have proven to be the most important prerequisites. Although this short course has been oriented to the design and layout of new facilities, the material presented will also assist in the solution of existing plant problems. The detailed and practical sessions will present the skills and know-how necessary for controlling acoustical and mechanical forces in compressors, pumps and piping systems.
