Why take this course?
This self-paced course explains turbine balancing and alignment procedures and how they ensure smooth and efficient operation. You’ll explore turbine shell clearances, alignment, balancing and unbalance, including static, couple, quasi-static, and dynamic unbalances, the balancing procedure, and relevant design standards. Practical topics include which clearances to check in all turbine stages, coupling alignment procedures, causes of rotor unbalance and methods to correct them, the differences between the four types of unbalance, and how to calculate and correct unbalances. Through structured lessons and clear demonstrations, this course provides engineers and technicians with a solid understanding of turbine alignment and balancing practices.
