Marine & Diesel Technician Training

This course covers diagnosis of the hydraulic and hydrostatic system operation, and related pump and control systems. These tasks are performed on test simulators. After completing the hydraulic course, students will have the basic skills needed to safely diagnose and perform repairs on the hydraulic system.

The focus of the diesel engine fuel systems and accessories course is diesel fuel systems, including mechanical system components, the electrical system and injectors; and diesel engine diagnostics. Students learn about comprehensive diagnostics and service on the following systems: low pressure common rail, hydraulic electronic unit injection (HEUI), high pressure common rail system, high pressure injection-time pressure (HPI-TP), electronic management and engine retarder. At the conclusion of the course, alternate and multi-fuel systems are introduced and students will perform diesel engine failure mode diagnostics.

This course provides a fundamental overview of standard refrigeration theories, including refrigerant, refrigerant oil, and the refrigeration system. It also covers regulatory policies and procedures, including EPA 608 requirements. Students will also be introduced to the multiple refrigeration system diagnostic procedures. This includes a full day of the refrigeration system brazing procedure with an instructor demonstration. The course also includes the diagnostics and servicing of auxiliary power units.
