The water-cooled four-stroke diesel engine with indirect injection is securely mounted on a base plate. This unit is fitted in the CT 110 test stand and bolted into place. Guides are provided to allow easy and precise alignment of the engine. It is connected to the brake unit using an elastic claw coupling. The engine is set up so that the intake pressure can be measured. It also contains a sensor to measure the exhaust gas temperature, which is connected to the CT 110 control cabinet. The fuel supply hose has a self-sealing quick-release coupling. The water cooling is a closed circuit containing a cooler with fan, a circulating pump, a flow meter and two temperature sensors.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
In conjunction with CT 110 test stand - Familiarisation with a water-cooled four-stroke diesel engine - Plotting of torque and power curves - Determination of specific fuel consumption - Determination of volumetric efficiency - Determination of excess air factor - Determination of engine friction loss - Determination of amount of heat emitted by the engine
