COMPUTERIZED SINGLE CYLINDER FOUR STROKE DIESEL ENGINE TEST RIG
Description
The setup consists of single cylinder, four stroke, Diesel engine connected to eddy current type dynamo meter 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 PV- P -PV plots, performance plots and tabulated results
Software
EngineSoft is Labview based software package 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.
