Design considerations for the engine testing station of a service facility

Abstract

The testing station at a service enterprise is intended for engine break-in and testing. The basis for designing the station is the production program. The diesel engine repair process, in addition to disassembly-assembly operations, cleaning, washing, and restoration of parts, and painting operations, also includes adjustment, break-in, and engine testing. These operations are performed by fitters. Fully assembled engines, after repair, are transported to the testing station for break-in and testing. Repaired engines are painted, finally completed, and transported to the machine assembly line.
