Diesel Engine Cycles, Maintenance, & Control

Q: Why should I study Alison’s Diesel Engine Cycles, Maintenance, & Control course?

If you are aspiring to start a career as an engineer or as a mechanic, then this course is ideal for you. Studying this course will give you an introductory knowledge of diesel engine cycles, their maintenance, control, performance and protection.

Q: What is the maintenance checklist for a diesel engine?

A maintenance checklist for a diesel engine includes the following 4 steps: Check and preserve water control components. Keep water out of the fuel tank. Maintain fuel injectors. Check the alternator, radiator, compressor, and condenser mountings for looseness or cracks. If you would like to have a deeper understanding of each step on the list, Alison’s Diesel Engine Cycles, Maintenance & Control course will give you a solid grounding.

Q: What is the basic cycle of a diesel engine?

There are four processes involved in a typical diesel engine: Suction, Compression, Expansion, and Exhaust. These are also referred to as strokes. In this course , we study the difference between the 4-stroke and 2-stroke engine cycles, diesel engine maintenance tips, the fuel injection system, air filter, fuel filter and thermodynamic cycles. We also explain how the centrifugal and electrical-hydraulic governors in diesel engines work.

Q: What are the fundamentals of diesel engines?

Unlike a gasoline engine, a diesel engine does not require an ignition system because in a diesel engine the fuel is injected into the cylinder as the piston comes to the top of its compression stroke. After completing this course you will be well equipped to fully understand and answer these and other questions related to diesel engines. Why not start today?
