NiYo Engineers’ Four Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel Engine Test Rig is designed for students study the performance of diesel engines. The IC engine and dynamometer are mounted on a rigid frame structure. The coupling is secured and has a safety cover. Instrumentation is provided to measure various parameters like, temperature, fuel consumption, air flow rate measurement, load, engine speed, etc. Testing can be carried out at various loads.

A water-cooled calorimeter is supplied to measure and prepare Heat Balance-sheet.

There is a facility to plot P-Theta and P-V diagram.

Topics covered are,

• To determine Brake Power
• To determine engine volumetric efficiency
• To determine engine brake thermal efficiency
• To determine engine specific fuel consumption
• Complete energy balance using exhaust gas calorimeter.
• Determining air-fuel ratios
• P-Theta and P-V diagram
• Heat release rate
