Introduction to Gas Turbines

Introduction to Gas Turbines (Ref:OTSIGT001)  

Course Objectives

To provide an overview of the main components of a Gas Turbine together with the main systems that drive the Industrial Gas Turbine.

Course Description

The use of Gas Turbines in the Power Generation, Petrochemical and Pipeline Industries has
increased considerably in the last few years. The development, in particular, of Combined Cycle
and Combined Heat and Power applications has accelerated the use of Industrial Gas Turbines.
This course therefore is intended to provide an overview of the main components of a Gas Turbine together with the main systems that drive the Industrial Gas Turbine.

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for any employee that is new to the Gas Turbine industry and requires a
general overview of the types, capabilities and applications of industrial gas turbines.

Pre-Requisites

All Attendees should have a basic engineering background.

Course Outcome

At the end of this course you will be able to understand the components of a gas turbine.
