Engine Test Setup (Computerised) …Code 224
Single cylinder, Four stroke, Diesel
Description
The setup consists of single cylinder, four stroke, Diesel
engine connected to eddy current type dynamometer for
loading. It is provided with necessary instruments for
combustion pressure and crank‐angle 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
set up has stand‐alone 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. Labview based Engine Performance Analysis software package “Enginesoft” is provided for on line
performance evaluation.
A computerized Diesel injection pressure measurement is optionally provided.

Software
EngineSoft is Labview based
software package developed by
Apex Innovations Pvt. Ltd. for engine
performance monitoring system.
EngineSoft can serve most of the
engine testing application needs
including monitoring, reporting, data
entry, data logging. The software
evaluates power, efficiencies, fuel
consumption and heat release. It is
configurable as per engine set up.
Various graphs are obtained at
different operating condition. While on line testing of the engine in RUN mode necessary signals are
scanned, stored and presented in graph. Stored data file is accessed to view the data graphical and tabular
formats. The results and graphs can be printed. The data in excel format can be used for further analysis.
