ET10-114: Gas turbine theory and Process Technology

This course covers basic principles and fundamentals of the refrigeration processes, and operations, with a primary focus on industrial and commercial refrigeration equipment. The student will understand the relationship and efficiency increase related to trigeneration or combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) systems of gas turbines. This application of energy technology refers to the simultaneous generation of electricity, useful heating, and cooling from the combustion of a fuel or a heat collecting solar system. The student will study basic preventative maintenance, basic scheduled maintenance, and basic troubleshooting, as it relates to gas turbines. The student will gain an understanding of the various components and operations of the energy industries. The selection and use of proper tooling, manuals, documentation, safety equipment, techniques, and standard maintenance practices will be emphasized in this course.
