INTRODUCTORY COURSES
This introductory course is specially designed to acquaint new hires with the basic operation and various systems associated with large bore, slow speed, integral gas engines. This course also provides a good refresher for those employees who do not have a lot of experience with gas engines. The course materials are applicable to both Two (2) and Four (4) Stroke Cycle gas engines normally operating on natural gas. Many of the topics are also applicable to medium and high speed engines. Basic gas engine cycle theory will help students visualize how an internal combustion gas engine operates. A parts familiarization lecture will introduce the students to the major engine components and their interactive relationship to one another. Because gas engines rely on many sub-systems for their smooth operation, these systems will be examined individually and in detail. Course content will commonly include lectures on the 2 and 4 cycle topics listed below. Should your company have only Two or Four cycle engines then the course material will be adjusted to reflect that.
→ Proper Torqueing of Fasteners
→ Precision Measurement
→ Parts Familiarization
→ Frame and Running Gear
→ Power End (cylinders and heads)
→ Valve Train Basics
→ Fuel Systems
→ Cooling Systems
→ Lubrication Systems
→ Basic Gas Engine Theory
→ Quiz

ADVANCED COURSES
This course is designed for those employees with at least one year of experience with integral gas engines, or who have taken the Introductory Level course. This advanced course will build on the introductory level course and explore in greater detail many of those same topics. Additional lectures will be presented on the effect of Natural Gas Laws on engine-compressor operation and an in-depth look at Combustion Theory and Turbochargers. Journal bearings will be examined in great detail, their construction, design characteristics, and failure modes. Another vital topic is crankshaft web deflections, what they are, their causes, and the consequences of operating with excessive deflections. The Advanced Course will conclude with a presentation on engine and turbo trouble-shooting. During this time the student will be encouraged to offer their own solutions to common problems and how effective those solutions were.
→ Miller Cycle Theory (Review 2 and 4 cycle theory)
→ Natural Gas Laws
→ Combustion Theory
→ Balancing Firing Pressures
→ Camshaft Timing
→ Journal Bearings
→ Shimmed Bearings
→ Crankshaft Web Deflections
→ Turbochargers
→ Troubleshooting (Engines & Turbos)
→ Quiz
