TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
The Setup Consist of single cylinder four stroke Diesel engine (Brand New). The variable compression ratio arrangement is made by using auxiliary piston moving up and down. The engine is coupled to the rope brake / hydraulic brake / electric / eddy current dynamometer as a loading device. The air box with orifice plate and manometer is provided for measurement of air to the engine. A fuel tank with fuel measuring unit with scale is provided. The shell and tube type calorimeter is provided at exhaust of the engine. Digital temperature indicator with thermocouple is provided for measurement of temperature at eight different locations. A speed is measured by using tachometer. A rotameter is provided for measurement of water flow to the engine and calorimeter. Load on theengine is measured by using dynamometer accessories. Necessary water
and air pipe connections are provided. The entire setup mounted on
sturdy MS frame with powder coated and good color combination.
