The petrol ignition and injection system trainer tends to simulate the ignition and injection systems of petrol engines, in addition to simulation of petrol engine management. The unit is supplied with a touch – screen PC with an interactive software to simulate faults and manage the academic course.
- The trainer is designed to demonstrate the electronic ignition and injection systems of petrol engine.
- The trainer has a power supply in addition to ON/OFF operation switch.
- The control panel contains ON/OFF operation button, emergency button, ignition switch and its terminals, the PC operation button, the engine speed control knob, air conditioner simulation switch, acceleration pedal sensor simulation knob and its terminals and indication LEDs such as battery operation LED and its terminals, software activation LED, and another LED to indicate turning off the software.
- The control panel also includes the touch screen, DLC port, dashboard and its terminals and the faults switches.
- The vertical panel contains spark plugs, injectors, a lot of sensors such as MAF sensor, cam sensor, crank sensor, throttling valve and IVT control solenoid valve and many terminals and simulation knobs of the oxygen sensor, water temperature sensor, fuel level sensor and fuel pump in addition to terminals of ignition signals, and injectors.
- The trainer also contains ECU, test tubes to simulate the combustion chambers with valves to return fuel to the tank after performing experiments, fuse box, LEDs for engine cooling fan and AC evaporator fan which lightens when the AC simulation switch at the control panel is activated, in addition to a schematic diagram of the petrol engine ignition and injection systems.
- The lower part of the trainer is provided with a petrol pump inside the tank.
- The trainer is supplied with 20 faults switches to simulate the effect of the most common faults of petrol engine.
- The touch screen computer is equipped with an interactive software capable of simulating different faults.
- The software includes practical exercises of different levels for the student to practice starting with an elementary guided level.
- The software allows the instructor to set tests for the trainee, where the instructor chooses the number of faults and the level of the test and whether the score depends on the completion time or not.
- During the test the trainee can monitor the system, use logical analysis or a multi-meter in testing components to detect malfunctions, and through the software request virtual replacement of doubtful components.
- At the end of the test the score is calculated based on the number and cost of the components requested for replacement, and on the number and cost of components presumed faulty, and a typical technician’s fare for completing the job, taking into consideration the time spent based on the instructor request.
- The software can also submit a complete report about the trainee based on attendance, progress during trainings, and test scores.
- The unit is fixed on four caster wheels to eases its motion inside the laboratory, these caster wheels are equipped with brakes to prevent the trainer from sliding during the operation.
- The unit is treated against rust and electrostatically painted.
