This week we had no official class as such but me and Richard did go to uni to do our practical tests on the common rail diesel engine. The technician has finished installing the prob on it so we put our boots on, met up with Anura and went to the engine. Before we start practical it is important to have a plan and inspect the engine we are testing with. We discovered that the engine we are using is having a variable vane turbo charger. This means that turbo pressure and flow changes in relation to engine rpm and load.
We did pressure tests at 1000 RPM to 3000 RPM while having 500 RPM intervals. We tested the exhaust pressure with a exhaust brake and without a exhaust brake. I am happy to say that after testing we have proved that out concept works! Now it is time for some calculations.
