Design and Development of High Horsepower Lube Oil Relief Valve Test Rig

Ruchita Doddamani | Dipesh Talvatkar

Abstract: A test rig is a mechanical device used to assess and test the capabilities and performance of industrial components. The high horsepower lube oil valve testing machine, often known as a rig, is a machine created particularly for High Horse Power valves. These valves are part of the locomotive's lubrication oil system, which we have tested. By directing a part of the oil to the engine sump, the relief valve protects the system from harm caused by high pressure. The creation of a lubricating oil High Horse Power relief valve test equipment to test relief valves is described in this study. There was a need for a test bench in the Diesel Loco Shed to ensure the safety of both the engine and the operators.
