Octane Operation
This course is designed for CFR personnel who need additional knowledge of the basic function and operation of the CFR Octane Rating Units and a better understanding of the extensive changes recently made to the ASTM Research and Motor test methods. Topics covered in this course include:
  • Classroom lecture and discussion covering the history of octane testing with the CFR engine; description and function of major engine components and instrumentation; and a review of recent improvements to the CFR Octane Rating Units.
  • Discussion covering engine safety, as well as personal safety, while operating or maintaining the CFR engine.
  • Detailed review and discussion of the ASTM Research (D 2699) and Motor (D 2700) test methods with particular emphasis on operational aspects including basic engine and instrumentation setup; Toluene Standardization Fuel qualification requirements; and details of the equilibrium bracketing, falling level (dynamic) bracketing, and compression ratio testing procedures.
  • Hands-on operation of the CFR Combination Research/Motor Unit by all students with sample ratings obtained using the equilibrium bracketing, falling level (dynamic) bracketing, and compression ratio testing procedures.
  • Demonstration and hands-on operation of the Custom CFR Control Octane Analyzer system that provides for automated control of the CFR Octane Rating Unit.
  • Review of basic preventive maintenance and troubleshooting techniques that help to assure consistent and accurate octane ratings, replacement, and reassembly of the cylinder and clamping sleeve on the crankcase.
 
Octane Maintenance
This course is designed for CFR personnel who need further knowledge and experience concerning overhaul of the CFR Octane Rating Unit cylinder, clamping sleeve, and carburetor. Topics covered in this course include:
  • Classroom lecture and discussion covering the theory of octane testing with the CFR engine; description and function of major engine components and instrumentation; and a review of recent improvements to the CFR Octane Rating Units.
  • Discussion covering engine safety, as well as personal safety, while operating or maintaining the CFR engine.
  • Hands-on cylinder and clamping sleeve overhaul including removal from the crandcase; measurement of all critical componenets; grinding of valves and valve seats; valve guide and seat removal and replacement; and reassembly of the cylinder and clamping sleeve on the crandcase.
  • Hands-on carburetor overhaul including description and function of all critical components of the new equilibrium/falling level carburetor system.
  • Review of routine crandcase inspection and maintenance requirements including changing oil and filter; operation and maintenance of the oil pressure control and crankcase breather systems; and measurement of crankshaft endplay and main bearing clearances.
 
Cetane Operation
This course is designed for CFR personnel who need additional knowledge of the basic function and operation of the CFR Cetane Rating Unit and coverage of the latest D613 test method. Topics covered in this course include:
  • Classroom lecture and discussion covering the theory of Cetane testing with the CFR Cetane unit; description and function of major engine components and instrumentation; and a review of recent improvements made to the CFR Cetane Rating Unit.
  • Discussion covering engine safety, as well as personal safety, while operating the CFR Cetane Rating Unit.
  • Detailed review of the ASTM D613 test method with emphasis on operational aspects including basic engine and instrumentation settings and setups.
  • Hands-on operation of the CFR Cetane Unit by all students with sample ratings.
  • Review of basic preventative maintenance and troubleshooting techniques that help to assure consistent and accurate ratings.
 
Cetane Maintenance
This course is designed for CFR personnel who already have a basic understanding of the D613 method and rating techniques, but need further knowledge and experience concerning the top-end overhaul. This would include the following: Cetane cylinder, cylinder head, pump removal and installation, as well as timing, hand-wheel disassembly/assembly, and calibration. Topics covered in this course include:
  • Classroom lecture and discussion covering the description and function of major engine components/instrumentation, and review of recent improvements to the CFR Cetane Rating Units.
  • Discussion covering engine safety and personal safety, while operating or maintaining the Cetane Unit.
  • Hands-on cylinder, cylinder head, and hend-wheel maintenance to include the use of measuring equipment critical to the proper tolerances of all components; valve grinding and seat grinding techniques; valve guide and seat removal and replacement; and assembling of the cylinder and head to maintain the proper over-travel. This will also include removal/installation of the injection pump and techniques on proper timing.
  • Review of routine crankcase inspection and maintenance requirements including oil and filter changes; operation of the oil pressure control and crankcase breather systems; and a measure of crankshaft endplay and main bearing clearances.
 
Crankcase Overhaul and Maintenance
This course is designed for more experienced CFR personnel who need additional knowledge and understanding of the requirements for overhauling a CFR-48 crankcase. Topics covered in this course include:
  • Classroom lecture and discussion covering description and function of major crankcase components, and the critical wear specifications and measurements used to determine when replacement is required.
  • Discussion covering engine safety, as well as personal safety, while operating or maintaining the CFR engine.
  • Hands-on crankcase overhaul including complete disassembly; discussion on the function and measurement of all critical components; and reassembly of the crankcase using the required fit and torque specifications.
  • Review of routine preventive maintenance and inspection practices required between crankcase overhauls.
