Masters of machinery reliability and available, Bloch and Geitner, have succeeded again with their new, well-presented, short book, Compressors! Anyone with a 9th grade education can read and understand their details and their math is easy. Successful rotating equipment is all about implementing the many important details outlined in their terse presentation of Compressors.

Aspiring rotating equipment engineers and battle hardened rotating equipment veterans can benefit from the well written and carefully presented format of Compressors. Details from this book will quickly get the maintenance and reliability staff to the "Ah Ha" state for both education and training. Maintenance Managers, Reliability Managers, Production Managers, and Plant Managers can benefit from a careful study of details in this short book. With information from Compressors, these key leaders can ask the correct questions to stimulate their engineering staffs to pay attention to the very important details for long life and failure free equipment.

pretty good book for the stated purpose. I also have Bloch's other book "Reciprocating Compressors." They make a good set for the student or instructor.

A Concise Book On Compressors
I just finished reading Heinz Bloch and Fred Geitner's new book "Compressors, How to Achieve High Reliability & Availability", and consider it a must read book for technical folks. Even if you have a wealth of books and papers on compressors, this extremely practical book places all the critical items within the 257 pages. This is a book I wish I had at the start of my career, as it would have eliminated the need to learn many lessons the hard way. An excellent book for those wishing to learn about compressors as well as the seasoned veteran who requires a review on the most common types of compressors and their components. ... show more
