Internal Combustion Engines

A modern 4-cylinder, one-litre, water cooled Volkswagen automotive eninge incorporated into a fully instrumented test bed. Equipped with an eddy current dynamometer to produce engine performance curves and analysis.

Options include gasoline and LPG operation, real time p-v diagrams and variation of engine ignition timing and fuel injection characteristics.

A new modern high speed gas turbine engine to replace the CM4. The CM14 is a complete, aeronautical axial flow gas turbine engine with full instrumentation and sensors measuring the gas temperature and pressure at different stages within the engine, together with the thrust generated and the fuel consumption. It features simple electric starting with no requirement for compressed air.

The turbine itself can be bench mounted and incorporates a transparent safety guard for full visibility. The small size minimises the laboratory space required. The control box can be located in an adjacent room if required.
