Course Description : This course also teaches you the spark ignition system’s working features and functions as you become familiar with power turbines and the significance of the synchro-self-shifting (SSS) clutch in starting them up. We unpack epicyclic gears (star, planetary and solar) and demonstrate the advantages of using multiple-planet wheels. We then take you through more clutches: twin-disk, airflex, hydraulic and sprag. We explain the purpose of the ‘bleed air’ and ‘intake and exhaust’ systems before delving into the data-processing aspect of the automated central operating systems (ACOS). This free online engineering course suits anyone interested in the inner workings of gas turbines, particularly those who care about the planet and want to keep it powered with clean energy
