Regenerative Engine Test Set

Product Description

Description: A versatile regenerative enginetest set with comprehensive controls and instrumentation. When used with one of optional single-cylinder engines, it safely and effectively enables study and demonstrations of the features and characteristics of the engine. In addition,optional ancillaries are available to extend the range of study, demonstrations and investigations even further. The equipment is fully compatible with Versatile Data Acquisition System. Using this enables accurate real-time data capture, monitoring and display, calculation and charting of all relevant parameters on a computer making tests quick and reliable. The main components of the system are: A heavy fabricated floor-mounting bed An instrument console with instrument frame A fuel tank support frame that supports the fuel tank and optional fuel gauge The bed is held on anti-vibration mounts. It includes a robust trunnion-mounted d.c. machine. An electronic load cell connected to the machine measures the driving torque of the test engine.The engines are supplied pre-mounted on a sturdy precision base plate. When the engine is initially mounted onto the test bed or exchanged with an alternative engine, dowels and slots locate the engine quickly, accurately and reliably.Each engine includes a colour-coded fuel tank with self-sealing couplings.Specification: Instrumentation Console dimensions: Width 1700 mm x depth 750 mm x height 1340 mmTest Bed dimensions (without engine): Width 1150 mm x depth 500 mm x height 800 mmWeight (packed total): 600 kg Volume (packed total): 4.25 m3Dynamo meter: D.C. machine with four- quadrant regenerative driveMaximum absorption: 10 kW Maximum Speed: 3600 rev.min 1Speed measurement: Optical encoder and digital displayTorque measurement: Strain gauged load cell and digital display Air consumption measurement: Air box and orifice plate, pressure transducer and digital display Ambient air temperature and barometric pressure measurement: Thermocouple, pressure transducer and digital displayExhaust temperature measurement: Engine thermocouple and digital displayFuel consumption: Precision volumetric fuel gaugesSafety features: Interlocks for mains power failure and engine over speed Emergency stops on test bed and console
