Diesel Engine
Introduction
This 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.
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 seminar 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
