SUMMARY:Virtual: Stationary Reciprocating Engines (TOXC 223)
DESCRIPTION:WEDNESDAY\, DECEMBER 16\, 2026 \nPACIFIC TIMES \n9:00 am       Introduction/Background \nApplications \nHistory \n9:30 am       Reciprocating Engines Operating Theory \nSpark-Ignition and Compression Ignition \n4-stroke cycle and 2-stroke cycle \nEngine power \n10:00 am    Air/Fuel Delivery Systems \nCarburetors \nFuel Injectors \n11:00 am    Emissions from IC Engines \n12:00 noon Lunch \n1:00 pm      Emission Control Methods \n2:00 pm      Regulations \nDefinitions \nExemptions \nEmissions Standards \n3:00 pm      Inspecting Stationary Reciprocating Engines \n3:30 pm      Review \n4:00 pm      Adjourn \nABOUT THE TRAINING COURSE \nAUDIENCE: This course is intended for new\, entry-level stationary source permit engineers\, inspectors\, regulatory agency staff\, and environmental specialists in business and government. The course is designed to provide an overview of Stationary Reciprocating Engines. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with stationary reciprocating engines. Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the following elements of stationary reciprocating engines: \n\nBackground Information\nTheory and Operation\nAir/Fuel Delivery Systems\nReciprocating Engine Emissions\nEmissions Control Methods\nRegulations\nInspecting Stationary ICEs\n\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: Stationary reciprocating engines are used widely for power generation\, gas compression\, and many other purposes. They are also a significant source of air contaminants and as such are the focus of increased regulation. This course covers reciprocating engine operating theory\, both standard and “cutting-edge” emission control technologies\, regulations\, permit conditions\, and inspection procedures. \nClick: Course Brochure
