Course description
This unique short course is organised and administered by the University of Leeds, UK, and the Centre for Diesel Research, University of Minnesota, and has run in the USA for automotive engineers for the last five years. The course has been held in the UK for over 20 years, and is annually updated, drawing upon speakers and companies that have developed expertise in their field.
This is a specialist course designed for diesel automotive and petroleum engineers and research workers engaged in the development of low particulate and NOx emission diesel engines and their fuels and lubricants. These are major current problem areas in diesel engine development with ever more stringent emissions legislation to meet in the automotive, industrial, marine and power generation markets. This course concentrates on the engine technology for low emissions, their fuel requirements and after treatment techniques.
Who should attend?
The course will be relevant to engineers, researchers and teachers in diesel engines, combustion and pollution. It will be suitable both as an overview for those new to the diesel particulate and NOx area and to provide a wider awareness for those already working in this field. Although the emphasis is on the transport sector, the course is also relevant to the stationary diesel and marine diesel market. In addition, it is of relevance to environmentalists engaged on atmospheric PM10 measurement and research, where diesel particulates have been identified as a significant contributor. The course is also relevant to those involved in emissions regulation formulation and in transport planning for emissions reduction.
