Rotating Equipment is the general classification of mechanical equipment, which exchange kinetic energy with fluid stream. The exchange of kinetic energy is achieved through a system of drivers (e.g. turbines), driven equipment (e.g. pumps and compressors), transmission devices (e.g. gears, clutches and couplings), and auxiliary equipment (e.g. lubrication and sealing system). Rotating equipment’s long delivery times along with high capital and operating expenditures classify them as critical equipment in process industries.
