Aims:
- To develop in-depth technical knowledge and operational competence in RT-Flex electronically controlled marine engines.
- To bridge the gap between traditional engine systems and modern common rail technology for marine propulsion.
- To enhance the ability of marine engineers to ensure safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance using RT-Flex systems.
Objectives:
- Understand RT-Flex engine technology's principles, design features, and applications.
- Identify and explain key components, including the common rail fuel injection system, exhaust valves, lubrication, and cooling systems.
- Operate the RT-Flex engine effectively, including starting, stopping, manoeuvring, and performance optimisation.
- Interpret and troubleshoot electronic control systems, including the ECU, safety systems, and diagnostics.
- Conduct routine maintenance, fault detection, and component repair using correct procedures.
- Apply emission reduction strategies and ensure compliance with IMO regulations, particularly MARPOL Annexe VI.
- Respond appropriately to emergency situations involving RT-Flex engines and apply safety protocols during failures.
