Modern civilization cannot do without diesel engines. They are found in power plants, railways, bus & truck lines, offshore installation, mining camps, and many other applications. Keeping these engines running with least troubles and shutdown improves the profitability of the whole system. Right selection, application and operation in addition to effective maintenance programs, reliable monitoring system, and skilled personnel are essential requirements for prolonged engine life. All the above can be achieved via deeper understanding of the engine construction, operation, installation and the more common problems. This course will offer the opportunity to learn more about engines, performance curves, control and troubleshooting. The participant’s discussions, comments, and own problems are welcomed and encouraged to orient the course. Short test on the course material will be performed to assess the delivering of the presented material.
