The introduction course will comprise Introduction, Intermediate and Advanced days. The course will provide those required to design pumping stations, approve designs or advise on improvements to existing pumping systems with the skills they need.
The course will be live and interactive, allowing verbal exchanges with the lecturer, and will include exercises to enable participants to learn the techniques required to design efficient pumping systems.
The Introduction day (Day 1) will cover the basics and provide an overview of fluid properties, pressure and head, positive displacement and centrifugal pumps, hydraulic gradient, pump and system curves and pump components.
The Intermediate day (Day 2) will build on the basics covered the previous day and cover more advanced liquid properties, Bernoulli’s equation, pump curves & velocity vectors, pump selection, pressure transients (surge) analysis, an introduction to the Pumping System Design Guide and basic pump fault finding.
The Advanced day (Day 3) will build on the previous day’s courses with more complex material and enable the delegate to become proficient in the design of pumping systems, produce system curves in the office or on-site, design systems with series and parallel pumping installations, approve designs submitted by others and advise on improvements to existing pumping systems.
Objectives:
- Understand how fluid properties affect pump selection and performance.
- Get to know the characteristics and construction of Centrifugal & Positive Displacement pumps and how to get the best out of them.
- Learn how to design pumping systems, produce system curves and understand the interaction between pump and system.
- The course will also cover sump design, pump cavitation, fault finding and how to design series, parallel and variable speed installations.
Programme:
- The course will be presented in twelve live sessions, four on each day.
- Each live session will include presentations and audio visual demonstrations.
- Delegates will be able to have live discussions with the lecturer as in a face to face training session.
- A printed copy of the presentation material will be provided to enable notes to be taken more efficiently during the course.
Who should attend?
- Engineers who need to design pumping systems, whether as part of their daily work, or only occasionally.
- Engineers, and others, who assess designs submitted for approval.
- No prior pumping knowledge will be assumed, but those wishing to attend only the Intermediate or Advanced days must have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the subject matter covered in the previous day(s) courses.
