Computerized Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Test Setup.
Computerized Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Test Setup
The test setup consists of Four stroke Diesel 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, Air consumption, Fuel Consumption,
temperature & cooling water flow rates. The parameters are recorded
by the sensors & transmitted to Data Acquisition Device. The Data
Acquisition Device sends the data to computer & which is displayed
in the Data Acquisition Software.
DATA ACQUISITION SOFTWARE
Windows
based software developed in LabView Platform is capable of displaying
real time acquired data in graphical & numerical format. The
acquired data is processed by software & results are displayed in
tabular & graphical format. The test results can be saved on
computer hard drive in form of Excel files. Detailed Operation &
Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
Experimental Capabilities:
• Determination of brake power & mechanical efficiency at different load conditions.
