Description / Abstract:
Application of this Code is limited to engine assemblies as
defined in Pars. 1.3.2 and 1.3.3.
Code Engine Assembly. In the absence of specified
stipulations the engine assembly to be tested shall consist of the
engine complete with essential apparatus for self-sustained
continuous operation. Generally these consist of the equipment
required for: fuel introduction; air induction (i.e., scavenging or
supercharging); ignition; lubrication; and primary engine and
charge-air cooling. This is termed the "Code Engine Assembly."
Specifically, a "Code Engine Assembly" includes apparatus: a) to
control, carburet or inject fuel delivered to it at required
operating supply pressure, including booster fuel supply pump or
compressor when attached to engine; b) to provide injection air or
gas (if engine is of the air- or gas-injection type); c) to
compress intake air; d) to provide ignition; e) to circulate
lubricating oil throughout the engine lubricating system, including
oil cooler, strainers, filters and mechanical force feed supply;
and f) to circulate the primary coolants through the engine
jackets, lubricating oil coolers, and intake air coolers - all as
involved in the engine assembly being tested.
If any apparatus required for the above functions is driven by a
separate source of power, the power input to, or the fuel consumed
by, the driving unit shall be charged against the "Code Engine
Assembly." If any apparatus, systems or parasitic load not included
in the "Code Engine Assembly" (such as an intake filter, exhaust
silencer, or radiator system) is attached to or driven by the
engine, it should be detached during engine tests, or, if
detachment is not practicable, the power consumed thereby shall be
separately determined or agreed upon and credited to the "Code
Engine Assembly" power output.
The "Code Engine Assembly" does not include any apparatus for
starting, battery charging, or other purpose which does not
function continuously, nor any apparatus for other purposes not
mentioned here.
Specified Engine Assembly
Purpose
This Code provides rules for testing, and for the computation
and tabulation of theresults of tests, for all types of
reciprocating internal-combustion engines, in order to determine
power and fuel consumption.
