Description
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.

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. |
