NiYo Engineers’ Computer Based Data Acquisition System for IC Engine Test Rig can be hooked up with minimum efforts to an existing Engine Test Rig in your lab. All the necessary instrumentation and software is supplied. The software is Windows based extremely user friendly. The data acquired, the data analysed and its calculations can be viewed in a tabular and/ or graphical form. Various graphs can be viewed e.g. hbth v/s fuel consumption, rpm v/s BP, etc. The software also permits printing of the various data/screens and engine speed. Testing can be carried out at various loads.

There is a facility to plot P-Theta and P-V Diagram on PC. Heat release rate can also be calculated.

Instrumentation is supplied to measure various parameters like, temperature, fuel consumption, air flow rate measurement, load, engine speed, etc. Testing can be carried out at various loads.

Topics covered are,

• To determine Brake Power
• To determine engine volumetric efficiency
• To determine engine brake thermal efficiency
