The instruction will involve explanation of pump design and function of parts and the demonstrations on how to disassemble and reassemble some of the main type of injection pumps and nozzles. Fundamentals and applications of the fluid power systems as well as some practical service procedures are alsoincluded. Students will follow the power from the engine through mechanical transmission, differentials, and the final drive system. Students will calibrate diesel pumps on a test bench and other diesel testing equipment. Students will disassemble and reassemble diesel engines, time the engine, and time diesel pumps to engines.
Some time is spent on diesel engine design and turbo changes.
The class will spend time in the laboratory testing working units as well as tracing circuits on models. Field trips may be included. This advanced course will deal with torque converters and several different hydraulic assist transmissions. All class time will be spent in the laboratory working with actual transmissions.
