Laboratories (Automobile)

The automobile engineers develop car bodies and buildups with aggregates like engines, clutches,gears and steerings. They have to design according to the postulations of aerodynamics and stylistics, they have to construct and calculate according the postulations of functionality, safety, the dreasing of resources and the economy. The department has following labs

1. Engines testing lab

The Engine Testing Lab helps the students to, Explain the principles of systematic troubleshooting. Identify the fundamental operating requirements of engines which means, Proper Carburetion – correct proportion of clean, fresh fuel has to mix with combustion air Correctly operating ignition system – strong ignition spark must be timed properly Adequate Lubrication – correct amount of clean oil must coat engine components Sufficient cooling – air that reaches engine should be less than 266 K hotter than ambient air. Proper compression – at least 2-2.8 bar for starting and 6.2 bar during operation Use service manuals and troubleshooting guides to locate tolerances, clearances, and specifications.

2. Fuel Cell Lab

The fuel cell laboratory provides advanced facilities to help the students to learn the concepts of fuel cell technology and advanced thermal engineering. Students are doing many projects regarding the fuel cell and thermal engineering.

3. Vehicle Servicing Lab

This lab deals with the various parts of the vehicle and to diagnose if they are functioning properly. The student learns how to safely and correctly perform basic, everyday vehicle servicing and simple maintenance tasks, as well as how to determine when the vehicle needs the attention of a skilled mechanic. Also provide students a good environment to understand the technology know-how, testing, service and set-up of modern motor vehicles.
