HIS Engine Test Bed (Model: TH 03) is a self-contained compact unit designed for easy installation and bench mounting. An eddy current dynamometer is used to load the engine. The dynamometer is provided with a manual control of the load. The test set is supplied with, as standard, a Robin engine which is a single cylinder, four-stroke, spark ignited, air-cooled, side valve type of engine. This is a typical small engine commonly used in various industrial and domestic applications throughout the world.
The engine and dynamometer are carried on a solid steel base plate resiliently mounted within a steel framework. Included within the framework are the fuel system, which incorporates a fuel tanks and valves, and the air induction system. The instrumentation and control panel are mounted on the front frame.
An additional engines, four-stroke diesel engine is supplied and easily interchangeable with the standard engine to enable characteristics comparisons. This alternative engine is air-cooled single cylinder engine.
