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.
