• Enables a wide range of investigations into the characteristics of four-stroke single-cylinder petrol and
Diesel engines
• For use with engines up to 10 kW: four-stroke diesel and four-stroke petrol engines (available
separately)
• Ideal for group demonstrations and student projects
• Includes comprehensive control console and instrumentation
• Optional ancillaries available to extend the range of study even further
• Quick, convenient and accurate engine mounting and changeover
• Test bed includes anti-vibration mounts
• Uses four-quadrant drive to start and load the engine, giving excellent stability
• Self-sealing couplings enable quick and efficient connection and disconnection of fuel lines with
minimum loss or spillage of fuel
• Works with TecQuipment’s Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS®)
