+44 1159 722 6114 STROKE PETROL ENGINE
High-quality and cost-effective four-stroke, single-cylinder petrol engine for use with TecQuipment’s Small Engine Test Set (TD200). 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 is mounted on a sturdy precision bed plate. The bed plate has dowels and slots which align and locate it accurately with the dynamometer test set. This minimises the time spent replacing one engine with another.
This engine starts using a simple pull cord, however TecQuipment can supply an electric start version (TD201ES). The electric start version is supplied with a suitable cable to connect to the optional battery (TD200b) or another suitable battery. Contact our sales team for details.
The TD200 test bed is supplied with a 2.5 m exhaust. All TecQuipment engines are supplied with a 1” BSP threaded stub adaptor for connection to the TD200 exhaust. Alternatively the user can connect their own adaptor and connect to their laboratory exhaust.
We also provide a 12 Volt Gel Battery (TD200B) for use with only the Electric Start (ES) engines, that is available to purchase separately here.
