Auxiliary Engine

Course Description:-

This bundle consists of 4 modules on Auxiliary engines and associated electrical  systems. The problems are presented in an engaging storytelling format. Engineers on board will relate to the scenarios presented, and will find themselves constantly challenged to come up with various possible solutions. Application of  the theoretical principles of these systems to resolving real  world problems is the unique aspect of this course.

This bundle focuses on Auxiliary engines and associated electrical systems. 

1) Tackling practical problems faced on board by understanding the causes and how these manifest themselves. 

2)  Interpreting the symptoms, analysing observations and presenting real solutions.

3) Give Engineers an opportunity to practice their skills given a range of issues in these systems.. 

 Learning Objectives:-

At the end of this module, the candidate will be able to

1) Know the correct  way to carry out systematic checks, tests, and calibration. 

2) Learn the correct method of testing and precautions on the associated electrical systems

3) Understand Electro hydraulic Governors; the various adjustments and the effect they have on the Engine operation. . 

4) The correct method of testing of the various electrical and safety protection devices.

5) Interpreting the various parameters after a performance test, crankshaft deflections, engine timing.

6)  The correct method of carrying out maintenance such as filter cleaning, FOV testing, Conrod checks, and decarb.
