Thermodynamic test: An I.C. engine is put to thermodynamic test, so as to determine the following parameters. I.H.P. Speed of engine BHP Mechanical efficiency Fuel consumption Thermal efficiency Air consumption Volumetric efficiency Various temperatures Heat balance sheet It may be noted that these parameters are measured after the engine has reached the steady conditions.
Aim: To conduct performance test on 4-stroke SINGLE cylinder diesel engine and to measure the BHP at constant speed keeping different load Fuel consumption at variable speed Air consumption Heat balance sheet Specification of engine Four stroke twin cylinder diesel engine, water cooled engine. Rated speed : Starting by Loading Stroke length : : 1500 rpm hand cranking the crank shaft EDDY CURRENT DYNAMOMEYTER 0.102 meters 0.110mtrs Rated power ; 10bhp/7.5Kw

Measurements Air intake by engine the engine is connected to volumetric tank of air tight; one end of the tank is fitted with an orifice 20 mm dia, the tank is connected to indicator tube. The deflection of manometer caused due to velocity difference between the tank and atmospheric air velocity measures the velocity of air by which we can calculate quantity of air flowing into the engine cylinder. Fuel flow measurement; The control panel is fitted with a fuel tank which is mounted on load cell.. The fuel flow to the engine can be measured by fuel rate indicator. Speed: speed of the engine can be measured with a digital rpm indicator which is connected by sensor. The sensor is fitted near the rotating shaft of the prime mover, where according to the speed the pulse signals are sent to the indicator. Temperature: A multi channel digital temperature indicator is connected with sensors at various points to measure temperatures of exhaust gas, cooling water circulation and room temperature. Digital water flow meter: measurement of water flow to the engine and for calorimeter
Description of equipment The engine is 4-stroke twin cylinder diesel engine, fuel injection into compressed air type. The engine flywheel is connected to EDDY CURRENT for loading the engine. The brake power from the engine can be calculated by torque indicator. The air intake tank, fuel measuring system, cooling water flow rate and temperature measurement instrumentations, exhaust gas calorimeter, speed indicator, are provided for completeness of the test rig. All measurements instrumentations are provided on an independent panel separated from the engine. Also see the details under the measurement above, where the function of individual instrumentation is indicated.
PROCEDURE FOR OPERATION: Fill the fuel tank with clean fuel. Check the sufficient lubrication oil in the oil sump (crank case).( between minium to maximum mark Check the sufficient cooling water circulation (say about 50cc/sec to 60cc) in the water flow indicator being circulated through engine. Connect the control panel to electrical mains 230 V. Keep the engine exhaust valve to open position by operating the lever provided on engine head. Start the engine by cranking the crankshaft and simultaneously closing the exhaust valve lever provided on engine head. Load the engine by rotating the electronic controller knob in clockwise to load in steps of 5 Nm, 10Nm, up to 85% of maximum load capacity.( 50Nm safe load) Take down the manometer reading for air consumption, rpm reading, and fuel reading from respective indicator. Repeat the procedure for different loads to conduct the load test. Note down the temperature readings for final reading to calculate heat balance sheet at full load. PROCEDURE FOR LOGGING THE READING THROUGH PC open the programmed engine analysis file before engine is started After engine attains full speed go for start test and give the file name it asked. normally give the file name as date and time of trial to remember easily After engine attains steady sate at no load log only one value and cheack combustion graph , for one logged value you will get only three graphs ie PV- Diagram Heat release V/s crank angle and pressure V/s crank angle load the engine to required load by controller knob provided on box
wait for fuel consumption in your monitor to change it will slowly raise to maximum and slightly comes just bellow maximum , at this log the second value .
Repeat the procedure for different loads remember do not log repeatedly for same reading at one load you will not get smooth curve Do not load abnormally , the loading should be steadily increased or decreased Before stopping the teat unload the engine gradually ,click stop test and stop the engine, Allow the water 5 minutes for circulation for sensor colling ) close the progranmme and system
