Four Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Rig

The Test setup consists of Four Cylinder Diesel Engine coupled to Eddy Current / Hydraulic Dynamometer. The dynamometer provides a variable load on the engine to study engine performance under variable load conditions. The engine can be operated at different throttle settings enabling investigation of engine performance at different speeds. 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 of water, gases.

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.
• To study the performance of the engine at different operating speeds.
