Description
The Computer Controlled Test Bench for Single-Cylinder Engines, 7.5 kW, “TBMC8”, designed by EDIBON, is a teaching unit to test internal combustion engines of up to 7.5 kW.
The element of the unit that offers load torque is an eddy current electromagnetic brake. It is supplied by a variator that allows to control the supply voltage and to vary its torque characteristics. The brake is jointly coupled to the shaft of the combustion engine by a double Cardan joint that transfers torque and power.
The unit also includes:
- Instrumentation: there are several sensors that provide us measurements of the variables under study.
- Start system: the engine includes its own electric starter motor that facilitates its operation.
- Fuel supply system: it carries the required fuel to the internal combustion engine.
- Cooling system: it carries out the cooling required for the correct operation of the engine. A forced water current removes the heat generated in the engine and transfers it to the atmosphere with a radiator. In case of air-cooling, the refrigeration is obtained by the passing of ambient air through the fins of the engine.
- Air intake system: it allows the intake of fresh air in the engine. It contains the oxygen required to generate the combustion.
- System to remove the exhaust gases: it removes from the engine the substances generated during the combustion and reduces the noise inherent to the gases flow.
The Computer Controlled Test Bench for 7.5 kW Engines, “TBMC8”, allows to study combustion engines, obtaining their characteristic curves by setting the accelerator of the engine to a specific position and varying the braking torque. Thus, different points of the torque or power versus velocity characteristic curve are obtained. Such curve will be at full load if the accelerator is at its maximum position.
To ensure the optimal performance of the Computer Controlled Test Bench for 7.5 kW Engines, “TBMC8”, it is essential to carefully select a specific motor to be integrated into the test bench. This will allow a series of experiments to be carried out with a real motor in a completely safe environment, allowing us to collect accurate data on its various parts and functions.
Below are various motor options available for your selection, at least one of which is required to work with the Computer Controlled Test Bench for 7.5 kW Engines, “TBMC8”:
- TM8-01. Air-Cooled 4-Stroke 1-Cylinder Gasoline Engine for TBMC8. The Air-Cooled 4-Stroke 1-Cylinder Gasoline Engine are commonly found in a variety of applications, from small unit to recreational vehicles and motorcycles. They are characterized by their compact and efficient design, making them suitable for applications where space is limited.Additionally, their 4-stroke operation provides more efficient combustion and smoother performance compared to 2-stroke engines. This makes them popular in a wide range of applications, from lawnmowers and motorcycles to portable generators and garden unit.Additionally, being gasoline powered, they are convenient and easy to fuel, making them ideal for applications where a reliable and easy-to-use power source is required.
- TM8-02. Air-Cooled 2-Stroke 1-Cylinder Gasoline Engine for TBMC8. The Air-Cooled 2-Stroke 1-Cylinder Gasoline Engine features a compact and lightweight design, making it ideal for applications where space and weight are critical. It is commonly found in garden unit, portable tools, small boats and motorcycles.Since they do not require a liquid cooling system, their design is simpler and cheaper, making maintenance and repair easier. In addition, 2-stroke engines usually offer greater power in relation to their size, although at the cost of slightly higher fuel consumption.
- TM8-03. Air-Cooled 4-Stroke 1-Cylinder Diesel Engine for TBMC8. This diesel engine is known for its robustness and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for applications in demanding environments such as agricultural unit, small industrial machines and portable generators. Air cooling eliminates the need for a liquid cooling system, simplifying its design and increasing its durability.4-stroke diesel engines also stand out for their ability to operate at low revs with high torque, providing reliable operation even under extreme conditions.
- TM8-04. Water-Cooled 4-Stroke 1-Cylinder Diesel Engine for TBMC8. This model combines the efficiency and durability of a 4-stroke diesel engine with a water-cooling system, which allows for more precise thermal control. It is ideal for industrial applications that require continuous and stable operation, such as construction machinery or heavy unit.Although the water cooling system adds some complexity to the design, it offers greater heat dissipation capacity, allowing the engine to remain in optimal condition for long periods of operation.
- TM8-05. Air-Cooled 4-Stroke 1-Cylinder Gasoline and LPG Engine for TBMC8. This engine stands out for its versatility, as it can operate on both gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from portable generators to small industrial machines. The ability to use LPG not only reduces polluting emissions, but also provides an economical and sustainable alternative to traditional fuel.Additionally, being air-cooled, this engine is simpler to maintain, making it a reliable and affordable option for environments where simplicity and versatility are essential.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
