Course Overview​
This WorkmanSkills training course covers the construction, operation and controls of Gas -Fired Engines giving participants the knowledge needed to operate, maintain and troubleshoot gas systems. Participants will first learn about the gas-fired systems and will then dive deeper into construction, operation and maintenance techniques.

Topics discussed will include the operation and maintenance of the air inlet and filtration system, the pulse cleaning system and the evaporative cooler. It will also include the various operations of the Gas Engine control panel, the operator mode commands and the operation of the protection systems.
Participants will gain an understanding of all the different components of a Gas Engines necessary for the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of gas-fired engines.
​
Course Benefits
