Emission Measurements Department equipted with devices for analyzing and measuring the exhaust gas components and the percentages of these component emitted from engines and vehicles which use different types of fuel (Gasoline, Diesel, and CNG), Also can measure Octane number of Gasoline fuel, and measure the performance and efficiency of heavy duty vehicles.
The department run-in the overhauled engine according to a specific program of different loads and speeds for its crucial effect on prolonging the engine life. The department also carries out performance test on engines by measuring:
- 1. The maximum horsepower
- 2. The maximum torque.
- 3. The brake specific fuel consumption.
- 4. The test is done according to the standard method ISO 158.
- 5. The department also carries out training courses for both engineers & Technicians on how to carry out the performance test.
- 6. The department can also measure the fuel consumption of vehicles on the road in field tests.
