Military Adaptation of Commercial Items (MACI) Laboratory Evaluation of the Code E-430 Engine

Abstract

The project determined the military adaptability of the Code E-430 engine through laboratory testing and evaluation. The engine was installed in a dynamometer test cell at US Army Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM) and conventional dynamometer testing procedures were used to determine basic engine characteristics. The characteristics determined were: full-load performance, fuel economy at full-load and part-load, engine oil consumption, engine heat rejection, and exhaust smoke density.
