CMPT 1520 - Compression Technology II

Credits: 3
This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the operation and maintenance of natural gas internal combustion engines. The fundamentals of combustion theory will be discussed along with detonation, pre-ignition, lean/ rich burn and advance/retard timing. 2-stroke and 4-stroke cycle theory will be introduced along with engine configurations. Emission theory, emission controls and emission measurement will be discussed. Students will also learn safe work practices and will work on engines used in the Natural Gas Compression Industry.
