Program Outline : Tools for troubleshooting: • Pareto charts • 5-why method • Cause and effect diagrams (fishbone) • Failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA) • Fault tree analysis (FTA) • Computer software (PROACT, REASON, TAPROOT, …ETC) • Tables of troubleshooting designed by me These tools are applied to: 1- Bearings: in this chapter we are going to talk about This part consists of - Types of bearing - Failure patterns - Operating symptoms - Symptoms found on inspection - Wear and wear patterns - Lubrication failure 2- Bearing troubleshooting : in this chapter we will talk about - What to do when a fault is detected - The use of phases in diagnostic - The vibration spectrum of a faulty bearing 3- Pumps: in this chapter we will talk about - Pump classification - Pump troubleshooting - Cavitation - Turbulence - Vane passing syndromes - System problems 4- Pumps control: we will address the following topics - Pump operation - Abnormal operation - Operation curve and BEP - Capacity regulation 5- Compressors: in this chapter we will study - Compressors types - Centrifugal compressors - Reciprocating compressors - Rotary compressors - Thrust control - Seals - Prime movers - Lubrication - Maintenance - Monitoring - Operating range 6- Lubrication - The role of lubrication - Effect of friction - Theory of lubrication - Lubricant selection - Method of application - Lubricant additives
