Features

  • Easy conversion between MON and RON methods is accomplished by use of the dual speed motor, with no need to change the flywheel
  • The dual speed motor with slide base steadily provides constant octane engine speeds as per ASTM D2699 and D2700 methods during operation
  • The engine crankcase is designed with high strength and rigidity for various fuel types to ensure long service life and carefree operation
  • The cylinder assembly allows the compression ratio to be changed by adjusting the cylinder height, which is adjusted by the electric motor assembly
  • The dial indicator is installed on the octane engine for direct reference to the cylinder height
  • The compression ratio and ignition timing are displayed directly on the operating panel, and it displays the compensated reading for barometric pressure
  • With digital knock signal adjustment, combustion knock is converted into a stable and accurate analog signal to improve accuracy and efficiency
  • Through the engine's safety system, the engine auto-stops with various fault indications
  • With the exhaust surge tank system, the engine eliminates resonance pulses and back pressure for more consistent and accurate results
  • The intake air humidity equipment regulates the moisture content of the intake air as per the ASTM specifications
