Fundamentals of Medium/Heavy Duty Diesel Engines describes safe and effective diagnostic, repair, and maintenance procedures for today's medium and heavy vehicle diesel engines, including the most current, relevant, and practical coverage of: * HD-OBD emission diagnostics * Common rail injection systems * Exhaust after treatment systems, including diesel particulate filters, selective catalyst reduction (SCR), and lean NOx traps (LNT) * Variable geometry and series turbocharging * Exhaust gas re circulation * Engine braking * Major engine OEM-specific coverage of fuel, air induction, and diagnostic systems * Electronic signal processing and sensor technology

The use of diesel-powered equipment in underground mining operations provides many benefits to the industry. It also presents many challenges to the health and safety of workers as it is a significant source of submicrometer aerosols and noxious gases. This book was developed to assist the coal and metal/nonmetal underground mining industries in their efforts to reduce the exposure of workers to aerosols and gases from diesel-powered equipment.

Today's diesel vehicles integrate electrical and electronic controls within all major systems, making a thorough understanding of current technology essential for success as a diesel technician. Bell's Modern diesel technology: electricity and electronics, Second Edition, provides this understanding through clear explanations of fundamental principles, detailed coverage of the latest engines and equipment, abundant real-world examples, and the technical accuracy and depth of detail that professional technicians demand

The Adlard Coles Book of Diesel Engines is aimed at boatowners rather than experienced mechanics. In clear, jargon-free English it explains how a diesel engine works, how to look after it, and takes into account developments in engine technology.The book explains how the engine uses simple processes to covert fuel to power, and then looks at the various sub-systems that allow those processes to take place.
