| Summary: | Engine test cell is one of the main tools in engine testing within automotive
industry. FKM, UTeM also has an engine test cell facility for their student’s uses. This
current engine test cell faced so many problems and need to be analyzed. This project
objective is to analyze and evaluate the performance of this engine test cell and make a
comparative analysis with an industrial standard engine test cell at PROTON Shah Alam
facilities. An ideal working principle of an engine test cell is investigated and studied.
Various systems will be discussed including data collection system, ventilation and air
conditioning system, engine cooling system, fire alarm and safety precaution system,
electrical system, fuel system and engine exhaust system. An engine testing capabilities
is listed down to differentiate types of testing that both test cells are capable of. The
engine testing requirement for both test cell is studied based on the parameters
monitored, operational procedure, data logging, engine cooling and safety precaution.
From the analysis and observation of a typical engine test procedure performed at
PROTON facilities, the operating procedure was analyzed. As a result, the main
components of an industrial standard engine test cell were identified. The function and
operating procedure of these components were listed and compared with the existing
engine test cell configuration in FKM. Later on, improvement modification was
identified and compiled as a list of recommendation to further improve the existing
engine test cell system and operating procedure in FKM, UTeM engine test cell system. |
