Course Description

Introduction

The added benefits that heavy duty diesel engines (HDDs) can provide to engineers and technicians working in power plants, the petroleum industry, fleet management, and maintenance will be highlighted in this five-day interactive, applications-driven Course N Carry Operation and Maintenance of Heavy Duty Diesel Engines (HDD) training seminar. It will demonstrate how to use these engines in a cost-effective, environmentally responsible, and safe manner. 

The application of related recommended operation and maintenance practices advised by the most reputable manufacturers and by the relevant standards will be emphasised in this Course N Carry Maintenance Engineering training seminar. It will also cover proper HD Diesel engine selection for particular jobs as well as the retrieval and interpretation of data from HD Diesel engine manuals.

Featured in this Course N Carry training lecture are: 

  • Talks about the advantages and uses of heavy-duty diesel HDD engines
  • The significance of proper HDD operation and maintenance for increased dependability 
  • An in-depth explanation of HDD systems and their distinctive capabilities 
  • Concentrating on HDD electronic control for cost-effective and environmentally responsible operation
