Who should attend and learning objectives

The objective of this short course is to provide practical information on all of the critical engine filtration systems, including air, crankcase ventilation, fuel, lube and emission control subsystems. For each subsystem, filter behavior, requirements, operation, and design will be discussed. Recent diesel engine emission regulations have resulted in new performance requirements for the various filter subsystems. This course will especially benefit those newer to the field by providing a basic understanding of engine filtration. For those attending the 2009 AFS Emission Solutions Conference, this course will provide background understanding for the technical sessions. Those involved in the design and testing, and use of engine filter and filter media should attend.

Course description

The course includes three 1.5 hour modules: for engine air and crankcase ventilation filtration, liquid filtration including lube and fuel filtration, and diesel engine emission reduction including aftertreatment filtration. The course will focus on filtration needs, filtration models, filter design principles, filter performance and overview evaluation techniques. Each participant will receive all presentation on a CD-Rom disk.
