Acquiring wider theoretical and practical knowledge of IC engines and potential hazards that go with it and safety aspects of their exploitation.

Students' ability to independently and creatively use the acquired knowledge and skills related to IC engines and safety aspects in working with it.

Historical development and classification of IC engines. Definitions and basic terms. Description of main components and systems of IC engines: piston mechanism, distribution mechanism, fuel supply, cooling, lubrication, ignition, starting. Safety aspects during operation of the IC engines. Properties of fuel and lubricants. Physical and chemical properties of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and potential hazards in working with it. Physical and chemical properties of natural gas (NG) and potential hazards in working with it. Classification of fuel supply systems in engines powered by liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas. Different generations of LPG and CNG supply systems in IC engines - operating principles. Main features of LPG and CNG components in IC engines. Legislation related to LPG and CNG equipment on motor vehicles.

Lectures are oral, supplemented by adequate images, diagrams, schemes and video-clips projected on the screen by a computer and a video beam. Auditory practice classes contain computing exercises and video presentations, while the laboratory practice classes are performed on real vehicles and IC engines.
