READ ME This text describes the data presented in the paper: Development of a diesel engine thermal overload monitoring system with applications and test results ======================== Introductory information ======================== Files included in the data deposit (include a short description of what data are contained): 1)Cylinder pressure 2)Exhaust temperature 3)Figure 4 4)Valve timing Explain the relationship between multiple data sets, if required: N/A Key words used to describe the data: Diesel engine; thermal overload; test data. ========================== Methodological information ========================== A brief method description – what the data is, how and why it was collected or created, and how it was processed: A lambda sensor was used to measure the oxygen concentration and a fast response thermocouple to measure the temperature of the gas leaving the cylinder. A medium speed Ruston diesel engine is instrumented to measure the required engine process parameters, measurements are taken at constant load and variable fuel delivery i.e., normal and excessive injection. Instruments, hardware and software used: ETAS LA4 lambda meter Sulzer 7RTA84T engine Fast response thermocouple Ruston diesel engine Date(s) of data collection: 2008 Geographic coverage of data: N/A Data validation (how was the data checked, proofed and cleaned): N/A Overview of secondary data, if used: N/A ========================= Data-specific information ========================= Definitions of names, labels, acronyms or specialist terminology uses for variables, records and their values: N/A Explanation of weighting and grossing variables: N/A Outline any missing data: N/A ======= Contact ======= Please contact rdm@ncl.ac.uk for further information
