 Week 9: Diesel Engine Performance

9 Week

I. Introduction

Small test engine Test Set. This type of engine is normally used on portable generators and small
gardening and agricultural machines. It is reliable, easy to use and has manual recoil type starter.

II. Learning Outcomes

By the end of this week, you should be able to:

 To determine the Performance of Diesel Engine on Start and stop operation.

III. Exercise

Description

Both are made from small air-cooled single cylinder diesel engine with
 Overhead valves- one for inlet, one for exhaust
 Direct fuel injection
 Pressured oil lubrication
 Recoil starter
The engine includes a governor that prevents the engine exceeding its optimum speed. The
governor is a device inside the engine, linked to the fuel injection system. When the engine speed
increases to a certain level., the governor forces the fuel injection system to reduce the amount of
fuel that enters the cylinder. This regulated the maximum speed and engine power.

The engine is lubricated by ordinary engine oil, sored in a small sump at the base of the engine
body. The oil is pressurized and forced around the engine, to lubricate its moving parts and
bearing. The oil passes through a fine oil that helps to clean the oil.

The engine is based on the standard crossflow design, so that the fuel/ air mixture enters form
one side of the cylinder head and is forced out as exhaust to the opposite side of the cylinder
head.
Forced air cooling is provided by the fins around the engine flywheel, As the flywheel tur, the
fins force air around the cylinder by means of simple ducting.

The engine is started by a starter handle and cord, wrapped around a pulley on the flywheel. The
pulley includes a clutch is disengage the cord and pulley when the engine starts. This
arrangement is called ‘recoil starter”.

The engine includes a speed control (often called rack). The rack directly adjusts the amount of
fuel that can enter the cylinder. If the rack is moved to the minimum position, no fuel is injected

to the cylinder and the engine stops. Alternatively, an engine stop button is provided. This button
stops the injection system.

Engine Start and Stop Experiment

Safety

Warning Never use the apparatus without guards or any protective covers in place
 Do not touch the Test Engine or the exhaust pipework while the equipment is running.
Let them cool down before you touch them
 Keep away from the air inlet of the Airbox when the Test Engine is running
 Never work alone with this machinery. A qualified lecturer or supervisor must be present
whenever it is used
 If you do not use the equipment as described in these instructions, its protective parts may
not work properly

 All users must wear ear and eye protection

 Use suitable gloves when you work with fuel or its
connections

Engine Start

1. Make sure that the Test Engine Fuel Tank has enough fuel for your test
2. Switch on the electrical and water supplies to the TD200 test Bed
3. Open any fuel taps on your Fuel Gauge to allow fuel to flow to the Test Engine, If
necessary, tap the fuel line to remove air bubbles.
4. Adjust the engine rack (sped control) to half Way
5. Slowly put out the engine start handle until you fell resistance, then slowly let the start
handle to return back to its original position. This sets the engine at the start of a
compression cycle.
6. Make sure that you are standing in a stable position with both hands on the starter handle.
7. Firmly and quickly pull out the starting handle, Engine should start. Keep your hand on
the starting handle and allow it to return back down to the engine, then let it go

CAUTION: DO NOT release the starting handle until it has returned back to the engine

8. If the engine does not start, then repeat steps 5,6 and 7
9. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes until reaches normal operating temperature and
runs steadily.

Note: Ambient temperature near to the test Engine may change as you do your tests (determined
by your test area size) so you must record air temperature for each engine speed.
