Single Cylinder Four Stroke Petrol Engine Test Setup.
Single Cylinder Four Stroke Petrol Engine Test Setup
The test setup consists of Four Cylinder Petrol Engine coupled to a
suitable dynamometer. The engine is single cylinder, air cooled 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. Detailed Operation & Maintenance
Manual is provided along with the trainer.
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.
