Petrol engine trainer (EPG104) features a real operational electronic injection petrol engine complete with all supplementary systems necessary for its operation including electric system, injection system , ignition system , cooling system , intake & exhaust system , etc. The trainer helps in demonstration petrol engine structure, operation and testing its performance under normal and faulty conditions. Additionally, the unit is provided with faults insertion switches to simulate 20 most common faults of petrol engine vehicles and enhance trainees faults finding skills.
- The educational unit features a 4-cylinder petrol engine mounted inside a robust chassis.
- The special design of the trainer chassis allows accommodating all petrol engine car systems, it also allows observing all these systems clearly during operation while ensuring trainees safety at the same time.
- The unit includes all systems required for petrol engine operation such as:
- Battery
- Electric circuitry
- Fuel reservoir
- ECU (electronic control unit)
- Fuel injection system
- Ignition system
- Cooling system
- Intake & exhaust system
- Starter motor and alternator
- FWD automatic transmission system
- The trainer is supplied with FWD automatic transmission system by default.
- The unit comes by default with 1500 CC petrol engine.
- The trainer has a large control panel serves as an easy interface between the car systems and the user.
- The control panel includes the following modules for system elements:
- Operation module
- Faults module
- Camshaft position sensor module
- Crank shaft position sensor
- ECT sensor module
- Battery terminals module
- Ignition signals module
- Injector signals module
- Throttle valve module
- MAF & IAT sensors module
- Acceleration pedal sensor module
- Fuel level sensor module
- Fuel pump module
- Each component represented in the above modules is provided with dedicated safety sockets internally connected to the real component to allow connecting external measuring devices for examination.
- The operation module includes the following switches & LEDs:
- Ignition switch module
- Emergency switch
- DLC module
- Dash board module
- Using the key in the ignition switch module, the instructor will be able to start the engine exactly as it happens in real cars.
- A real acceleration pedal is integrated into the control panel to allow increasing the engine speed.
- A real gear shift stick of the FWD transmission is integrated into the control panel to allow gear shifting.
- DLC module is used to connect external fault diagnosis device.
- The unit is capable of simulating 20 petrol engine system faults using faults insertion switches on the control panel.
- The educational unit is provided with a schematic diagram of the petrol engine components showing it internal parts.
- Dashboard enables the trainee to observe car speed and to study its behaviour under acceleration.
- he engine condition is refurbished by default, where it has undergone a complete overhaul and has received a paint job.
- The trainer is mounted on four heavy duty caster wheels able to carry the system weight for better mobility.
- Caster wheels are equipped with foot-operated brakes to lock the wheels and help fix the unit and prevent sliding.
