Laboratory
Computerized Diesel engine test rig
Diesel engine test rig with computerized data monitoring & processing using engine soft: Performance tests using bio-diesel blends become easier.
The engine is equipped with data acquisition systems for all inputs, outputs, temperatures at key locations and speed.
Such measurements are possible for each degree of crank rotation.
The system has both auto control and manual control modes of operating parameters.
Duel fuel engine test rig
Single cylinder engine with provision of performance testing for liquid and gaseous fuel.
Facilitates simultaneous measurements of load, speed, fuel and air consumption.
Hydro-power generating system
A closed circuit electrical-hydro-mechanical-electrical system with provisions for measurement /adjustment of flow,
pressure and loads (mechanical & electrical) enabled complete understanding of hydro electrical power generation.
The system has Pelton turbine and head and discharge is simulated using a centrifugal pump.
Gasifier laboratory
Complete understaning of biomass gasification, utilization and analysis is possible through three independent
Gasifier units and associated acessories. The major acessories are biomass cutter, Gas analysers, Junker gas
Calorimeter, diesel engine generators with loading provision.
The laboratory also has Junker gas Calorimeter which enabled determination of calorific value of gas.
Biodiesel production unit
Biodiesel production from oil bearing seeds are possible using modular units comprising (i) oil extraction,
(ii) oil filtration, (iii) oil testing for suitability, (iv) oil transesterification,
(v) biodiesel separation & glycerol recovery and (vi) biodiesel cleaning & drying units.
Visual inspection of the processes even during chemical rection period is possible.
The conversion of bio-waste in to energy and organic fertilizer is a proven practice. However, utilization of a variety of bio-waste materials,
generated in the campus of an academic institute,through a suitable energy conversion device still has academic and entrepreneurial interests.
As part of its initiative to utilize the bio-waste generated in the campus for energy, Tezpur University
installed a 50 cubic meter per day capacity bio-methanation plant in one of the students Hostel.
AdaptNet is a capacity building project supported by EACEA (Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency),
European Commission under Erasmus+ initiative to strengthen education, research and innovation for climate smart crops in India.
