Design and Fabrication of Oil Pump Test bench for APC
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryThe purpose of this project is to develop an oil pump performance test bench. The objective of test bench is to monitor the performance of oil pump under varying conditions. If we install the pump without testing and if the pump is not feasible, it is the wastage of time, labour and cost and it can also harm the equipment or surroundings. Before using it in actual application, performing test in a factory is an important task because at that stage if test reveals that adjustment need to be made, it becomes feasible to remove the pump off and made the necessary corrections.
Project ObjectivesThe objective of oil pump endurance test bench is to monitor the performance of oil pump in varying conditions
•Pressure
•Flow
•Temperature
To verify the correctness of design of a pump.
To save time, money and man power.
Fabrication of a machine that will be easy to operate and economical for industrial applications.
Project Implementation MethodWe will use pressure gauges, flow meter and temperature sensors for the measurement of pressure flow and temperature at outlet and inlet.
We will apply the fluid mechanics knowledge.
Logic programmable controller will be used to show the conditions.
A Motor will be used to provide RPM to pump.
Benefits of the ProjectAs the market and government regulations push automakers to improve emissions and fuel consumption, they are evaluating all opportunities in the engine system to reduce losses. The oil pump is one important component that consumes engine power as it protects engine components from frictional wear and overheating by delivering oil at the correct pressures.
