INCO1101
This instructor lead course takes the students on a tour of all aspects of gas turbine operation, with maintenance, inspection and troubleshooting featuring prominently. All of the components in the gas path, from the air intake, through the compressor, combustor and turbine are covered, as well as the auxiliary systems, with the reasoning behind design choices being explained in a practical manner. Thermodynamics, flame stability, surge and stall and emissions are among the many topics covered.
Within the course the control systems, and inspection and maintenance procedures for a gas turbine are shown. With knowledge of these the student will have the troubleshooting skills to diagnose failure mechanisms, such as misalignment, imbalance, oil whip and erosion, and performance degradation. The instructor will also take the student through cases of real damage and life degradation cases on turbines and explain different repair strategies.
The course is formed of 8 modules split across 2 training days. All modules will be live sessions with the instructor. This training course is available as a company in-house training only; there is a choice between an online training or an onsite training. All training materials will be available through your EngineeringTrainer account.
After the course you maintain 1-year unlimited access to the course material. This allows you to perform modules again when you need to refresh the knowledge for your projects.

After each live session used slides and exercise documents are made available to participants on the learning portal.
Please note that for privacy reasons no recordings of the live sessions are made or provided.
You receive 1-year unlimited access to the course. This allows you to watch content again if this is beneficial for your daily work activities.
The live sessions are scheduled together with the customer and are private for their team only.
Typically the training course would be scheduled as:
Virtual: 8 sessions of 2 hours
Onsite: 2 days of 8 hours
A personal digital certificate will be made available to each participant upon full attendance.
