1. UNIT 1:
ROTATING EQUIPMENT
FUNDAMENTALS

2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
 1. Define rotating equipment
 2. Classify rotating equipment
 3. List types of rotating equipment

3. DEFINITION
 Rotating equipment are any piece of
equipment that rotates for the purpose of
moving products such as solids, liquids and
gases.

4.  DRIVEN
 DRIVER
 TRANSMISSION DEVICE
 AUXILARY EQUIPMENT
Rotating equipment is a system, there are many
parts.
These parts can be classified into 4 basic function
classifications of rotating equipment.
Classifications of rotating
equipment

5. DRIVEN
 Equipment that are driven by another piece of
equipment.
 This equipment cannot rotate by itself. It needs
rotational torque in order to work to move
products.

6. DRIVER
 Equipment that provides the rotational torque
 Make the driven equipment to rotate and do
work.
 Driver provide rotational power to the driven
equipment.

7. TRANSMISSION DEVICES
 Both the driven and the driver are two
separate piece of equipment within the rotating
equipment systems.
 Transmission device provides the connection
between the driver and the driven.
 It also reduces the rotational speed of the
driver to match the requirements of the driven
equipment.

8. AUXILARY EQUIPMENT
 Auxiliary equipment provides the ‘support’ that
enables the rotating equipment system to
perform its job.
 In order for the whole rotating equipment
system to operate efficiently and reliably
without any breakdowns.

9. Types of Rotating Equipment

10.  Both pumps and compressors move fluid from
one energy level to another.
 Pump moves an incompressible fluid - liquid
like water.
 Compressor moves a compressible fluid - gas
like air.
