Rehabilitation And Upgrade For The Configuration Techniques Of a Spark Ignition Engine Test Bed. a Case Study Of Caritas University Amorji Nike Emene Enugu

Abstract

This paper presents the configuration of a spark ignition engine test bed, a device which allow measurement on engines by making them run in a static way, where there is no need to use the vehicle to which the motor was made, used specifically for research and development department of motor manufacture, in order to ensure the design and the operation of prototypes, and to evaluate the performance of spark ignition engines. The testing bed incorporates a dynamometer, fuel measurement system, emissions measurement system, and data acquisition system to measure engine performance parameters, including power output, torque, fuel consumption, and emissions. The configuration of the testing bed is discussed in detail, including the selection of components which thousands of different component where manufactured in different factories with high degree of accuracy and interchangeability, integrated to the systems. A case study is also presented at the Caritas University, a configured internal combustion engine testing bed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the testing bed in evaluating the performance of a spark ignition engine. The results show that the testing bed is capable of accurately measuring engine performance parameters, making it a valuable tool for engine development, testing and research.
