Objective
The student knows the refining methods of crude oil as well as the properties, requirements and classifications of motoring gasoline, diesel fuel and lubricants. He or she is able to describe the possibilities of alternative fuels in order to lower the greenhouse impact of fuel combustion. He or she is capable of utilizing his or her knowledge about lubrication mechanisms and selection of correct lubricants for the purpose in question.
Content
FUEL TECHNOLOGY: Motor gasoline refining, gasoline requirements, key figures and additives, low-emitting gasoline qualities, gasoline injection systems, gasoline in the future.
Diesel fuel refining, requirements and key figures, cold-climate operation and operating properties, environmental properties of diesel, diesel injection systems, diesel in the future.
Alternative fuels (gaseous products, alcohols, biofuels and renewable fuels, synthetic fuels, hydrogen).
LUBRICATION TECHNOLOGY: Duties of lubricants, lubrication mechanisms, lubricant manufacturing, basic properties and key figures of lubricants, synthetic lubricants, lubricant additives, lubricant classification systems, hydraulic oils, lubrication greases, determination of change interval, oil consumption
