VCR Single Cylinder Four Stroke Dual Fuel Engine Test Rig

Product Details:

Description
 The setup consists of single cylinder, four stroke engine connected to dynamometer for loading. It is provided with necessary instruments for combustion pressure and crankangle measurements. These signals are interfaced to computer through engine indicator for Pθ-PV diagrams. Provision is also made for interfacing airflow, fuel flow, temperatures and load measurement. The setup has standalone panel box consisting of air box, fuel tank, manometer, fuel measuring unit, transmitters for air and fuel flow measurements, process indicator and engine indicator. Rotameters are provided for cooling water and calorimeter water flow measurement. The setup enables study of engine performance for brake power, indicated power, frictional power, BMEP, IMEP, brake thermal efficiency, indicated thermal efficiency, Mechanical efficiency, volumetric efficiency, specific fuel consumption, A/F ratio and heat balance.
