The reciprocating piston engine is one of the most influential machines ever invented by mankind. From its early beginnings as a steam engine, the piston engine has revolutionized the way we live, work, and travel. This course will teach you more about this truly amazing machine.
The course is designed to build on the knowledge gained in the Diesel Engine Fundamentals Part 1 course, although this course is also suitable to anyone who already has some diesel engine or automotive engineering background knowledge. As diesel generators are also used for rotating machineries such as sprinkler pumps and emergency generators, engineers working in HVAC, Power Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and other Mechanical Engineering related industries will find this course useful.
Whatever your level of understanding or engineering background, you have likely never taken an engineering course like this one. The course is packed with images, 2D animations, 3D animations, and high-quality narrated content.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how an engine is started through the starter circuit.
- Interpret the information conveyed by an engine timing diagram.
- Distinguish between two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
- Compare the relative merits of common maintenance strategies.
- Explain the thermodynamic principles governing diesel engines.
- Describe the operation of centrifugal and electrohydraulic governors.
- Identify the information shown on indicator and compression diagrams.
- Explain how temperature, pressure, flow, and level measurements are used for engine protection.
Video on Demand
This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 16 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
