Exhaust Gas Calorimeter
Model Number: TDX00A
Measures engine exhaust heat content to determine energy lost through exhaust gases during engine testing.
Overview
A fully instrumented exhaust gas calorimeter for use with TecQuipment’s Regenerative Engine Test Sets (TD200 and TD300) to measure the heat content of engine exhaust gases to determine the energy lost to exhaust in energy balance for engines of various types operating at different loads and speeds.
An exhaust gas calorimeter for use with TecQuipment’s Regenerative Engine Test Set (TD300) and TecQuipment’s Small Engine Test Set (TD200). The equipment measures the heat content of exhaust gases and enables students to determine the energy lost to exhaust in the energy balance for single-cylinder, four-stroke petrol (TD301) and diesel (TD302) engines. The engines are separately available.
Features
- Safely and effectively measures the heat content of TecQuipment test engine exhaust gases
- For use with TecQuipment’s Regenerative Engine Test Sets (TD200 and TD300) and petrol and diesel test engines (TD200 series and TD300 series engines)
- Specially designed for educational use
- Wide range of investigations possible
- Uses electronic transducers and a digital display for ease of use and accuracy
- Separate instrumentation unit conveniently mounts on test set console frame
- Fully compatible with TecQuipment’s Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS®) and software
Specifications
- Gas-to-water shell and multi-tube heat exchanger
- Heat exchanger mounted on a sturdy base plate
- Hand-operated valve mounts on the test set control console to control cooling water flow through the heat-exchanger jacket
