4 STROKE PETROL ENGINE

High-quality, cost-effective four-stroke, single-cylinder petrol engine for use with TecQuipment’s Regenerative Engine Test Set (TD300). 

Adapted specially for education to enable effective laboratory testing and demonstrations, the engine includes an exhaust thermocouple, a half-coupling to link to the test set dynamometer and all essential hoses and fittings. In addition, each engine includes a colour-coded fuel tank with self-sealing couplings. The couplings ensure the engine can be connected and disconnected quickly and efficiently with minimum loss or spillage of fuel. For convenience and safety, the fuel tank can be removed for filling or for storage in a fuel locker when not in use. Removing the fuel tank also prevents unauthorised use of the equipment. 

The engine has a modified cylinder head and crank. These allow use with the Cylinder Head Pressure Transducer (ECA101 available separately) and the Crank Angle Encoder (ECA102 available separately). These can then connect to the Engine Cycle Analyser (ECA100 available separately) to extend the range of experiments possible. The engine is mounted on a sturdy precision bed plate. The bed plate has dowels and slots which align and locate it accurately with the dynamometer. This minimises the time spent replacing one engine with another. 

If a mains power failure or emergency stop occurs, interlocking relays on the engine immediately cut the ignition. In addition, to prevent transmission of accidentally ignited flames or explosions, the air inlet includes a flame arrestor.

The TD300 test bed is supplied with two sections of exhaust. A one-metre length to connect the engine to TD300a and a second three-metre length to connect TD300a to a suitable outlet to atmosphere. All TecQuipment engines are supplied with a 1” BSP threaded stub adaptor for connection to the TD300 exhaust. Alternatively the user can connect their own adaptor and connect to their laboratory exhaust.
