PISTON ENGINE DYNAMOMETER

RI-149
Description

The stand for aircraft piston engine testing in various operating conditions, and to determine:
Hourly and specific fuel consumption.
Torque waveform as a function of speed in steady states.

Main technical characteristics

Temperature, 0 – 1000°C.
Rotational speed.
Torque.
Fuel consumption.
Air consumption and exhaust gas flow.
Measurements and registration of fast-changing values (injection and combustion pressures).
Calculation of engine parameters.
Setting the following characteristics: speed, load, control, external, partial powers, overall, regulator, and idle run.
R&D of 30 to 400 kW piston engines in matters of combustion process optimization, intake system selection, and injection and turbocharging equipment selection.

Operational Capacity

On the stand conducts tests and measurements of piston engines in terms of basic engine parameters according to national and international standards.
