Four Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Set Up Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Four Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Set Up.
Four Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Set Up
The test setup consists of Four Cylinder Diesel Engine coupled to
Eddy Current / Hydraulic Dynamometer. The dynamometer provides variable
load on engine to study engine performance under variable load
conditions. The engine can be operated at different throttle settings
enabling investigation of engine performance at different speeds.
Exhaust gas calorimeter is used for estimation of heat carried away by
exhaust gases for determination of heat balance of the engine. Air is
supplied to the engine through an air box, fitted with orifice plate.
The
instrumentation console includes measuring instruments for Engine
Speed, Torque, Air consumption, Fuel Consumption & temperature of
water, gases.
Experimental Capabilities:
Determination of brake power & mechanical efficiency at different load conditions.
Determination of fuel consumption & brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency.
Determination of air consumption & volumetric efficiency, Air/Fuel Ratios.
Calculation of Heat balance of the engine.
To study performance of engine at different operating speeds.
