Description
This course will introduce the student to the diesel engine
and the mechanical control systems commonly used in their
operation. Students will learn the design and operating principles
which make diesels different from spark ignition engines and
develop a diagnostic technique for working with them based on
this knowledge. Internal components, wear tolerances, operating
characteristics and fuel delivery systems for the common
diesel engine brands utilized in the Ag equipment industry
will be explored. Safety practices, tool selection, component
identification and failure mode analysis will be fundamental
topics in this course.
