Turbo Diesel 4 provides comprehensive training in
marine diesel engine operations and maintenance
PC Maritime, a member of the Charente Group, has
introduced the Turbo Diesel 4 marine diesel engine diagnostic simulator, a
PC-based training program that educates users in all aspects of engine
operation and maintenance.
Turbo Diesel 4 is an ideal complement to the marine
engineer training syllabus. It enhances student understanding of engine
operations and gives valuable transfer training to more experienced engineers.
It is also a powerful teaching and testing tool with 15 hours of ready-made
lessons included in the accompanying manual. In recognition of this, Wallem
Shipmanagement has already acquired multiple units of Turbo Diesel 4 for Wallem
Training Centres in the Philippines, Ukraine, Russia, Romania and Hong
Kong.
Designed to comply with the STCW and ISM Codes, Turbo
Diesel 4 can operate in either Evaluation, Live Run or Replay Run mode.
Evaluation mode allows trainees to change the technical state of the engine
elements, as well as the engine load and operating conditions. It can be used
for testing the relationship between engine operation conditions or technical
state and engine operation parameters.
Live Run mode, which is ideal for diagnostic knowledge
assessment, simulates changes in engine technical state, allowing trainees to
carry out maintenance and repair and to change engine speed, but not technical
state.
Live Runs can be saved and then replayed in Replay Run
mode for debriefing and evaluation.
The program is also equipped with two 'Experts', which
are especially valuable for students working on their own because the student
can precisely analyse his errors and learn from them. Setup Expert explains the
relationship between a change in engine setup and a change in operating
parameters, crucial when learning about engine diagnostics. Maintenance Expert
indicates any necessary maintenance and evaluates what maintenance was
necessary but not done.
Designed for Microsoft Windows operating systems,
Turbo Diesel 4 is a network-enabled program that includes free instructor
software for LAN installation. Upgrades of previous versions are available to
existing Turbo Diesel customers around the globe.
