Diesel Engine (Operation and Maintenance)

This Pionners Diesel Engine training seminar 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.

About this Course

INTRODUCTION

Proper maintenance inspections allow participants to catch problems before they become bigger, more expensive ones. This Pioneers 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 Pioneers 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.

Course Objective

At the end of this Pioneers training seminar, 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

Course Methods

This Pioneers Diesel Engine training seminar will be delivered along workshop principles with presentation, video clips, multimedia illustrations and interactive worked examples. Group discussions will be followed to enhance the skills of the participants. Relevant case studies will be provided and discussed. Amount of time will be devoted to teaching the participants how to read and understand service manuals to enhance their maintenance skills.
