A gasoline Briggs and Stratton air cooled OHV engine, is offered as an engine option. Alternatively a diesel engine, the is offered as a separate alternative. The engine and dynamometer are carried on a solid steel base plate resiliently mounted within a steel framework. Included within the engine framework are the fuel system, which incorporates a fuel tank and fuel solenoid valve, and the air induction system. 

The instrumentation and control panel is mounted on the front of the frame. It is a self-contained compact unit designed for easy installation and bench mounting. An automotive alternator is used as a dynamometer to load the engine and dissipate the power in a resistive load bank. 

Experimental Capability of Automotive One Engine Test Set:

•  Engine efficiency and fuel consumption variation with speed and load.  

•  Effect of mixture strength on gasoline engine performance and fuel consumption.  

•  Engine performance curves at full and part load.

•  Effect of mixture on gasoline engine performance and fuel consumption.  

•  The gasoline unit is provided with a lean/rich fuel mixture device.
