This is a small test bed for a small gasoline or diesel engine.
The engine is connected by V-belt with a safety guard to an electric generator absorber dynamometer on the test bed. Heat from the generator is dissipated by heaters with a fan. Control of the generator load is by manual switches and of the engine throttle are manually controlled.
A fuel tank and air box are on a stand next to the engine.
Instruments are provided for measurement of engine speed, generator speed and torque, fuel flow rate, air flow rate, and temperatures.
Instruction manual is also included.
- Torque vs engine speed at various throttle setting.
- Engine brake horsepower and efficiency vs. speed.
- Specific fuel consumption
- Air/fuel ratio
- Volumetric efficiency
