Exhaust Gas Calorimeter
Product Code : LSK-E-10492
Exhaust Gas Calorimeter (SKU LSK-E-10492) is an engine test ancillary that measures the heat carried away in exhaust gases, so students can find the energy lost to exhaust when drawing up an engine energy balance. It suits single-cylinder, four-stroke petrol and diesel engines on the Small Engine Test Set. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to engineering colleges, polytechnics, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
It uses a gas-to-water shell and multi-tube heat exchanger on a sturdy base plate. Exhaust flows through the tubes inside a jacket of constantly flowing cooling water. Thermocouples read gas and water temperatures at inlet and outlet, a turbine flow meter measures water flow, and a pressure-relief valve guards against low cooling flow.

Applications and Experiments for the Exhaust Gas Calorimeter
The heat given up by the exhaust equals the heat gained by the cooling water, which students calculate from the water flow rate and its temperature rise. Adding this figure to brake power, cooling losses and fuel energy completes the heat balance sheet of the engine.
- B.Tech/B.E. mechanical: heat balance test on a four-stroke petrol or diesel engine.
- Thermal engineering labs: steady-flow energy calculations on a shell-and-tube exchanger.
- Diploma courses: measuring exhaust losses in engine tests.
Standard Scope of Supply
The calorimeter comprises the instrumentation unit with its digital four-channel display, the shell and multi-tube heat exchanger on its base plate with thermocouples, turbine flow meter and pressure-relief valve, and the hand-operated cooling-water control valve. Engines and the test set are separately available.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We can price the calorimeter on its own or as part of a complete engine test bench, and every quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for what you request. Engines, the test set and the fuel gauge can be added to it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the calorimeter measure exhaust heat?
Exhaust passes through tubes surrounded by flowing cooling water. From the water flow rate and the inlet and outlet temperatures, students calculate the heat transferred, which gives the energy lost to exhaust.
Which engines can it be used with?
It is intended for single-cylinder, four-stroke petrol and diesel test engines running on the Small Engine Test Set or a regenerative engine test set. The engines are separately available.
What happens if cooling water flow is too low?
The heat exchanger includes a pressure-relief valve for safety in case insufficient cooling water is flowing. Set the water flow with the hand-operated valve before running the engine.
Who supplies the Exhaust Gas Calorimeter?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the calorimeter from Ambala, India to engineering institutions and distributors, and quotes it alone or with matching engines and test sets.
