			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:

			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. |
