Engine Testing Equipment

Multi-Cylinder Engine Test Beds

The engine is directly coupled to the dynamometer using an inertia matched drive shaft. All rotating parts are protected by fixed guards. The test bed incorporates a robust mounting frame to which both the engine and dynamometer are fitted. The drive shaft guard is interlocked with the Emergency Stop circuit to prevent the engine from use when the guard is removed or open. The frame is fitted with wheels to allow the test bed to be easily moved.

Multi Cylinder Engine Test Bed With Remote Control

A comprehensive instrumentation package, data acquisition and computer control of facilities allows experimental analysis of engine performance parameters such as power, torque, speed and efficiency under various operating conditions, controlled and measured by a dynamometer and ancillary instrumentation. Multi-Cylinder Automotive Engine Test Bed has been developed to provide a facility for the practical demonstration of internal combustion engine technology. Display of all test parameters is via a remote PC screen, coolant & lubricant temperature is closed loop controlled to temperatures entered on the PC. Coded engine connections ensure correct connection of services & instrumentation when the engine is changed. A remote control console is provided to start/stop the engine with 10 turn potentiometers to control engine load & speed. Cussons offers two engine options that are sub-frame mounted to allow rapid engine changes.

Automotive One Engine Test Set

A gasoline Briggs and Stratton air cooled OHV engine, is offered as an engine option. Alternatively a diesel engine, the is offered as a separate alternative. The engine and dynamometer are carried on a solid steel baseplate resiliently mounted within a steel framework. Automotive 1 Engine Test Set is the smallest engine test in the ranges. It is a self-contained compact unit designed for easy installation and bench mounting. An automotive alternator is used as a dynamometer to load the engine and dissipate the power in a resistive load bank. The instrumentation and control panel is mounted on the front of the frame. Included within the engine framework are the fuel system, which incorporates a fuel tank and fuel solenoid valve, and the air induction system.

Features:
Self-contained, compact easily installed bench mounted unit.  
Fully instrumented for air and fuel flow, exhaust temperature, speed and power.  
Optional PV System
Electrical AC dynamometer and load bank.
Optional Single Cylinder Diesel Engine
Optional Data Acquisition System
Optional Single Cylinder Gasoline Engine.

Single Cylinder Engine Test Bed

Secondly the framework/console which is positioned over the test bed carrying all instrumentation and controls, air flow measurement system, fuel system with flow measurement by burette, multi-point temperature indicator together with all the electrical circuits necessary for control of the dynamometer and engine. Two main components form the basis of the test bed. First of all the welded steel baseplate complete with D.C. dynamometer, drive coupling and safety guard, spring type anti-vibration mountings, exhaust silencer, flexible pipe and provision for engine mountings.

Features:
Self-contained teaching facility
Closed loop speed control
Torque measurement by load cell
Regenerative D.C. dynamometer
Alternative engine types
Comprehensive instrumentation.

Variable Compression Equipment

The engine can Be provided with a specific cylinder head fitted with Devices for the multi-channel indicator for Diagrams. Other cylinder heads for the gasoline engine Variable compression ratio are provided to allow To study the effects on the efficiency of the engine. Anything Instrumentation and controls are located on the Control panel made of melamine resin which comprises Multicolor synoptic table. The instrumentation provided is highly accurate, Includes an electric sensitive dynamometer, which allows To achieve fair and repeatable results.
