This one-week, hands-on program requires the students to disassemble, evaluate, repair and reassemble many compressor components via structured workstations. This program reinforces many of the maintenance concepts and procedures learned during Reciprocating Compressor School. Each student is required to exhibit competence in a variety of knowledge, skill and performance areas. Students are afforded the opportunity to work on the following: two-throw HHE-style frame and running gear; non-lube cylinders (split and solid rider bands); a variety of valve rebuilding/evaluation workstations; several capacity control devices (plug, port and clearance pocket unloaders); piston nut tightening; piston rod run-out and rod drop indicator; high-pressure water-cooled packing; and connecting rod bolt stretch. Students are also required to install a variety of valve covers, evaluate an oil pump assembly, and adjust crosshead shoes. Throughout the week, instructors focus on proper use of tools and measuring devices that include torque wrenches, micrometers, web deflection indicators, bolt-stretch micrometers and piston rod run-out indicators.
