Piping Design Videos-5: Compressors - Part 1 - Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors

Principal Plant Layout and Piping Designer at Jacobs Engineering

The following list of Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressor Videos I think would be helpful not only for Trainee Piping Designers and Engineers, but also as a refresher or reference for experienced Pipers.
Please note some of the videos are Visual only, that is, without any Audio.
Be aware that in the future, these links may no longer function if the originating author has removed the videos from the website.
