GAS ENGINES
This course is aimed at cogeneration plants technicians who
operate and / or maintain gas engines. Unlike other courses, this
one is very graphic and it is aimed at the students to understand
the basic principles of gas engines outside thermodynamic
considerations and formulas that are difficult to understand. The
course takes into account that the technician does not design engines:
He/she only operates and / or maintains them, so it is
important to understand everything related to the operation and maintenance criteria that are used to design them.
The course provides practical information for the technician to develop
their best work: description of each parts, auxiliary equipment, major
failures, preventive maintenance, spare parts, tools, etc.. to
sum up, everything what a technician dedicated to cogeneration plants
need.
