VCR ENGINE TEST SETUP( COMPUTERRIZED) ST-234

The setup consists of single cylinder, four stroke, VCR (Variable Compression
Ratio) Electric start Diesel engine connected to eddy current type
dynamometer for loading. The compression ratio can be changed without
stopping the engine and without altering the combustion chamber
geometry by specially designed tilting cylinder block arrangement. Setup is
provided with necessary instruments for combustion pressure and crank‐
angle measurements. These signals are interfaced to computer through
engine indicator for Pθ−PV diagrams. Provision is also made for interfacing
airflow, fuel flow, temperatures and load measurement. The set up has
stand‐alone panel box consisting of air box, two fuel tanks for blend test,
manometer, fuel measuring unit, transmitters for air and fuel flow
measurements, process indicator and engine indicator. Rotameters are
provided for cooling water and calorimeter water flow measurement.
The setup enables study of VCR engine performance

with EGR for brake power, indicated power, frictional power, BMEP, IMEP, brake thermal efficiency,
indicated thermal efficiency, Mechanical efficiency, volumetric efficiency, specific fuel consumption,
A/F ratio and heat balance. Labview based Engine Performance Analysis software package
“Enginesoft” is provided for on line performance evaluation.
A computerized Diesel injection pressure measurement is optionally provided

Software
EngineSoft is Labview based software
package developed by Apex Innovations
Pvt. Ltd. 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.
