Description
A four-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine for use with TecQuipment’s TD200 Small Engine Test Set.
High-quality, cost-effective four-stroke, single-cylinder diesel 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 bed 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 minimizes the time spent replacing one engine with another. This engine starts using a simple pull cord, but TecQuipment can supply an electric start version (TD202ES).
Key features:
- For safe and effective studies and demonstrations of a four-stroke, single-cylinder diesel engine
