MULTI CYLINDER FOUR STROKE WATER COOLED DIESEL ENGINE TEST RIG
Model ELE0031
MULTI CYLINDER FOUR STROKE WATER COOLED DIESEL ENGINE TEST RIG IC engines are widely used in automobile, domestic and industrial sector. They are classified according to cycle, number of cylinders, arrangement of cylinders, fuel used, type of ignition, valve arrangement, cooling system. Test rigs are used to find out the performance of an IC engine. It consists of an IC Engine, dynamometer, fuel measuring, air intake measuring and various other arrangements. SCOPE OF EXPERIMENTATIONS: To determine specific fuel consumption. To determine Brake Horse Power. To determine mechanical efficiency. To determine Brake Thermal Efficiency. To determine volumetric efficiency measurement. To determine indicated thermal efficiency. UTILITIES REQUIREMENTS: Electric Supply Single Phase, 220 V, 5 Amp. Continuous Water Supply 10 LPM Approx. Fuel 10 Ltrs. Floor Area 3m X 2m Tachometer For RPM measurement TECHNICAL DETAILS: Type of Engine Four cylinder, four stroke engine, vertical water cooled, self start, diesel engine. Type of Loading Electric Brake Dynamometer The engine is coupled with electrical alternator with resistance loading arrangement. Digital voltmeter and digital ammeter is provided. Hydraulic Brake Dynamometer It consist of weighing gear, control gear, a dead weight in Kg unit suitable for testing the engine at different speeds. The engine and dynamometer are directly coupled on a substantial base plate. Fuel measuring system Fuel measuring system consists of a fuel tank, a burette and a three way cock arrangement. Air intake measuring system Air tank fitted with orifice and water manometer. Measurement of Heat carried It consists of inlet outlet piping with flow control valve, water away by Cooling water meter. Thermometers are provided to measure the inlet outlet temperature of water. OPTIONAL : Exhaust gas calorimeter Exhaust gas calorimeter - made of Stainless Steel including the body & the tubes for cooling water circulation and designed to get maximum temperature difference. The body of the calorimeter is insulated on all sides to prevent heat losses due to radiation. Thermometers are provided to measure the temperature of water and gas. |
