Single-Cylinder Combustion Engine

Product Description

Description:

The unit is designed to be linked to the users computeror touch screen, linked to supplied software with sophisticated control anddata acquisition.

The utilises an eddy-current dynamometer to provide avariable load on the engine, enabling the characteristic power and torquecurves to be reproduced in the laboratory dependent upon which sensor optionsare ordered. This multi-purpose test rig is designed to accept a series of gasolineand diesel engines available separately. The system comes complete withinstrumentation, including rpm measurement, torque (from which power can becalculated), airflow and exhaust temperature. Other optional sensors can bepurchased to further enhance the teaching capabilities of the includingcylinder pressure sensors and fuel consumption.

The whole system is designed to be linked to a computerusing the software provided. This provides real-time monitoring of the varioussensors, with a wide range of data logging and graphical display options. Boththe dynamometer and throttle can be controlled electronically, which makesinstallation into a closed test cell straightforward, and enables remoteoperation.
