quick overview :

• A modern, automotive, high efficiency, three cylinder, 1.2 litre, water cooled, normally aspirated engine complete with all services and ancillaries required to run the engine in a laboratory environment.
• Biofuel Compatible
• Variable load, eddy current dynamometer which acts as a brake, enabling direct measurement of engine torque
• Dynamometer completely integrated with the engine, mounted within the same frame
• Ignition and Injection Control system as standard, enables user to investigate the effects of alterations to fuel injection and ignition timing
• Supported on strong tubular steel framework via flexible mounts. Frame houses fuel tanks, battery, electrical enclosures, etc
• Protected by guards around all moving parts, and around key hot surfaces
• Throttle and brake load can be controlled remotely
• Standard instrumentation includes sensors for:

- Engine speed
- Torque
- Air flow
- Cooling water temperature (inlet and outlet of heat exchanger)
- Cooling water flow
- Exhaust gas Lambda sensor

Features:

• Modern high efficiency, three cylinder automotive engine
• Integrated eddy current dynamometer to vary engine load
• Plotting of characteristic torque and power curves against engine speed
• Full software control of system, including load and throttle settings
• Closed loop software control of brake loading to maintain constant engine speed during measurements
• User control of ignition timing and fuel injection now standard
• Secondary water cooling by heat exchanger, with measurement of temperature change and flow rate
• Version fitted with wideband Lambda sensor for improved performance
• Engine manufacturer’s diagnostic software, also displays ignition timing and injection characteristics
• Measurement of exhaust oxygen content by Lambda sensor
• Remote emergency stop, and facility for safety interlocks
• Optional operation on LPG as well as gasoline and Biofuel
