Course Description

The course presents a systematic approach to the basics of mechanical troubleshooting,. It first adopts a general approach to the importance of pumps, bearings maintenance and its main motives. Then it explains what is meant by maintenance types, like preventive maintenance, corrective and adaptive maintenance and the skeletons of maintenance systems. Design, operating, and design pumps, bearings will be explained. Measurements, maintenance and the required misruling devices for pumps and bearings will be deeply involved in this course with some applications in other mechanical utilities.
