Single Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Setup Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Single Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Setup.
Single Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Setup
The test setup consists of Four Cylinder Petrol Engine coupled to a
suitable dynamometer. The engine is single cylinder, water cooled diesel
engine running at constant speed. The dynamometer provides variable
load on engine to study engine performance under variable load
conditions. A wide range of dynamometers is available as option for the
engine test set up. 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 / Power, 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 secific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency.
Determination of air consumption & volumetric efficiency, Air/Fuel Ratios.
Calculation of Heat balance of the engine
