Diesel Engine System: Design Construction, Operation and Maintenance

Introduction

This Diesel Engine training is a comprehensive program that covers basic diesel engine operation including the function, operation and maintenance of the air intake system, fuel system, exhaust system, lubricating oil system, and cooling system.

Proper maintenance inspections allow participants to catch problems before they become bigger, more expensive ones. This training course discusses the type of maintenance programs participants will encounter, and the types of routine inspections participants will be expected to carry out. Also, this course includes diesel engine operation, including how the diesel cycle differs from other types of engine cycles.

The training course also introduces several major diesel engine components and moves on to cover shop safety and tools. Moreover, this Diesel Engine training course will cover all aspects of a modern diesel engine and associated systems including the modern injection systems, exhaust gas recirculation EGR system and engine management system.  Some engine problems such as diesel knock will be covered.

This training course will highlight:

  • Principles of operation of diesel engines
  • Function and operation of the major components as well as auxiliary systems of diesel engine
  • Modern Injection systems and Engine Management System
  • The proper operation problems of diesel engine
  • The best maintenance practice of diesel engine

Objectives

    At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

    • Understand the combustion process in diesel engines
    • Consolidate and update the understanding of diesel engine components and auxiliaries
    • Identify the functions and the operation of various injection systems
    • Understand the modern diesel engine management system
    • Recognize the engine operation procedures
    • Identify engine problems and repairs

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.
