Repotenciación del dinamómetro analógico del laboratorio de motores de la Facultad de Mecánica y elaboración de un plan de mantenimiento

Abstract

This Curricular Integration Work has as an objective to repower the analog dynamometer of Motor Laboratory at Mechanics Faculty and the development of a maintenance plan. Where the total setting up of the physical asset and the subsystems that compose were obtained. The maintenance plan was also elaborated, the same one that will avoid downtime and maintain its required function. With the current technical analysis carried out, the necessary preventive and corrective tasks were implemented for the start-up of the water softener, alignment of the cardan shaft transmission system, maintenance of the eddy current system and maintenance of the electrical system, using the necessary equipment to meet this objective. The maintenance plan was also developed based on the operation manual and the experience of the operators. With the application of maintenance methodologies, the analog dynamometer obtained a higher performance by fulfilling its required function. Obtaining a better analysis of the performance curves (power, torque and fuel consumption). It was concluded that the maintenance tasks carried out have allowed obtaining a more accurate analysis of the behavior of internal combustion engines. Likewise, the new water softener effectively removes all sediments and impurities from the coolant that largely prevents corrosion in the cooling system for braking. It is recommended to implement the proposed maintenance tasks to maintain the required function of the analog dynamometer systems and subsystems.
