Diesel Engine Generator: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Course Overview:

Diesel Engine is one of the most Internal Combustion Engines, which is used for many purposes. It can be utilized as a prime mover for any Rotating Equipment Machinery such as Pumps, Compressors, and Fans, in addition to its use for all Power Plants as Black Start Units. This course is intended for FIVE days to provide an overview of the most important

components of a Diesel Engine and the function of each, as well as auxiliary systems such as lubrication system, cooling system, and different methods used for the start-up of Diesel Engine. Also, this course will explain how to utilize the Diesel Engine as a prime mover of rotating machinery or to Generate Power. Moreover, will cover all aspects of a modern Diesel Engine and associated systems.

Descriptions of the Electrical systems associated with a Diesel Engine are then covered in detail including Generator Operations, Generator components, excitation systems, and voltage regulation. In addition, we will discuss how the steps in Operating and Maintenance Programs differ for these engines; in the end, we will discuss all Problems and Troubleshooting and how to overcome them through Logical Solutions with various examples of signatures to achieve an understanding the operation.

Course Objective:

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

Consolidate and update understanding of the Diesel Engine Components and Auxiliaries.
Understand Diesel Engine construction and rating for Diesel Generators
Able to maintain the engine in a safer way and will make a more effective contribution to the operation of machinery.
Learn the basics of Engine operating value evaluation and maintenance planning.
The special focus is on the economic aspects of Engine Operation and Utilization.
Understand the Diesel Generator vibration problems and vibration stress and how to reduce it.
Understand the modern Diesel Engine Electronic Management System.
Troubleshooting of Diesel Engine Generator & Its Auxiliaries System.

Who Should Attend?

This is course is designed for all employees involved in the Operations and Maintenance of Diesel Engine Generator. It would be of specific benefit to those who are involved in the use of DEG as Emergency Generators which would include most Power Stations, Oil Platforms, and Petrochemical Plants.
