The Calibration of a Deutz F8L413 Diesel and Development of an On-Board BHP-Indicator.
Abstract
The calibration of a Deutz F8L413 diesel engine, emphasizing characteristics pertinent to the levitation of an Air Cushion Vehicle is described, together with the development of an output indicating device to be used aboard the craft. The opportunity was also taken to install NRC developed transducers for recording cylinder and fuel injection pressure-time phenomena, with the object of subjecting them to field endurance tests. Output and fuel consumption compared reasonably with manufacturer's data and a horsepower readout system was developed, based on fuel rack position and rotational speed.
