About This Product
The engine is adapted for laboratory testing and demonstrations on an engine test set and dynamometer. Students run performance tests and, with the pressure transducer and crank angle encoder fitted, extend the work to cylinder pressure and cycle analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the fuel tank be removed from the Four Stroke Single Cylinder Petrol Engine?
Yes. The colour-coded fuel tank can be removed for filling or for storage in a fuel locker when not in use, which also prevents unauthorised use of the engine.
What happens to the petrol engine if the mains power fails?
Interlocking relays on the engine immediately cut the ignition if a mains power failure or emergency stop occurs.
