HEAT BALANCE TEST ON SINGLE CYLINDER 4 STROKE DIESEL ENGINE (KIRLOSKAR)

AIM

To conduct heat balance test on Diesel Engine to prepare a heat balance sheet.

SPECIFICATIONS: Engine make: Kirloskar AV1 B.H.P = 5H.P R.P.M = 1500 Diameter of brake drum =300mm Orifice Diameter =20 mm

PRECAUTIONS 1. Fuel and lubricating oil are checked and if needed they are to be supplied. 2. Cooling water inlet and outlet for engine jacket and brake drum should be opened. 3. Engine should be started and stopped with no load. 4. De-compression liver should be engaged before cranking.

THEORY: To balance the energy input and output what is done usually is to add all the known forms of energy output in heat units and, the difference between this and the given energy input is termed as unaccounted losses ( lost by radiation etc). Thus law of conversion of energy is kept unaltered.

1. The work input of engine can be calculated using TFC and calorific value. 2. The heat carried away by cooling water can be calculated from its rate of

flow, specific heat and temperature difference between inlet and outlet. 3. The heat carried away by exhaust gases can be calculated from the exhaust

calorimeter

PROCEDURE

The maximum load on the engine is calculated and range of loading is selected. The necessary precautions are taken. The lubricating oil and fuel in the tank is checked. The supply of fuel and cooling water is opened. The

decompression lever is engaged and engine is started by cranking. The desired load is applied and time for 10 c.c of fuel consumption is noted. The temperature of cooling water at outlet and the temperature of exhaust gas are observed. From the flow meter the rate of cooling water supply is noted. The atmospheric temperature and temperature of cooling water inlet are also noted. The

observations are also tabulated as shown. From the observations the heat balance is done and balance sheet is plotted.

PROCEDURE Before starting the engine maximum load that can be applied on the engine is calculated using the formula

Torque, T

( ) Start the engine at no load condition. Fuel supply is switched on and the decompression lever is engaged. The engine is started by manual cranking. Then the time taken for 10c.c of fuel consumption is noted at no load. And level difference in the water manometer is noted. Initial load is applied at the end of the hook in the rope. Note the spring dial reading. Repeat the experiment up to maximum load. Then the engine is stopped by cutting the fuel supply.
