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.
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 (HVAC, fire safety, oil and gas, mechanical engineering, refrigeration, chemical engineering, power engineering etc.), you have likely never taken an engineering course like this one.
Interactive 3D models are used extensively to show you each individual pump component and how these components work together to complete useful work.
The course is packed with images, 2D animations, 3D animations, and high-quality narrated and written content.
