The centrifugal pump is the most common and widely used pump today. Its simple construction, low maintenance, and low cost have made it an ideal pump for widespread commercial application.
In this course, you will learn:
How a centrifugal pump works.
All of the centrifugal pumps' main components.
Different impeller and centrifugal pump designs.
How to read a pump performance curve.
How to identify pump faults.
And a lot more!
The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning centrifugal pump knowledge. Even if you already have some background knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Whatever your level of understanding, or engineering background (mechanical engineering, HVAC, chemical engineering, oil & gas industry, power engineering etc.), this course will provide you with a strong understanding of centrifugal pumps and their details.
