Single Cylinder Engine Test Bed

Single Cylinder Engine Test Bed .

Description of Single Cylinder Engine Test Bed:

Two main components form the basis of the test bed. First of all the welded steel baseplate complete with D.C. dynamometer, drive coupling and safety guard, spring type anti-vibration mountings, exhaust silencer, flexible pipe and provision for engine mountings. Secondly the framework/console which is positioned over the test bed carrying all instrumentation and controls, fuel system with flow measurement by burette, air flow measurement system, multi-point temperature indicator together with all the electrical circuits necessary for control of the dynamometer and engine.
