- 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
