SINGLE CYLINDER FOUR STROKE PETROL ENGINE TEST RIG
Model ELE0027
| 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.
