AUTOMOTIVE CHASSIS COMPONENT LABORATORY

The main objective of the Automotive Chassis Components Laboratory is to gather knowledge in order to apply the skills of disassembling and assembling chassis components. The primary aim of this lab is to teach the students about various components in detail and how to disassemble and reassemble them.

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE COMPONENTS LABORATORY

Automotive Engine Components Laboratory is fully equipped with different types of IC engines, like single-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines, various engine components like carburetors, cooling systems, lubricating systems, and cut-section models of turbochargers and superchargers. This laboratory is also equipped with a high-speed and low-speed engine with mechanical and eddy current loading arrangements, an AVL444 exhaust gas analyzer, an AVL 437 smoke meter, an advanced engine combustion analyzer, a cut section of the clutch, various types of gear boxes, constant velocity joints, and differential gear.

AUTOMOTIVE FUELS AND LUBRICANTS

The main goal of this laboratory is to identify the characteristics of various fuels and lubricants and compare them to benchmarks in order to gauge their quality. The research level equipment’s available in the laboratory were listed below for determining the lubricant Properties and fuel Properties. Cleveland’s Open Cup Flash and Fire Point Apparatus, Redwood Viscometer, Digital Bomb Calorimeter, Abel Flash Point Apparatus, Aniline Point Test Apparatus, Junkers Gas Calorimeter and Oil Extracting Machinery are the notable apparatus of this laboratory.

AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL LABORATORY

Automotive Electrical Laboratory is Equipped with Auto Electrical Test Bench with necessary field I/O Devices, Starting Systems Assembly Unit, Charging system Assembly Unit, Ignition System Assembly Unit, Vehicle Lighting System Unit, Vehicle Batteries and Multi Point Electronic Fuel Injection Systems.

CAD LABORATORY

CAD Centre has 36 terminals, networked with two servers. Latest software in the CAD area have been purchased and continuously upgraded. The centre is kept open for the students up to 9 pm. This enables the students and faculty to learn the latest software and carryout the research works. The Management has granted the entire funds for establishing the CAD Laboratory. The following software’s are used for modelling, analysis and simulation purpose: CREO 7.0, Solid Works 18-19, MATLAB 2022b, ANSYS 2020R1 and ALTAIR Inspire 2022.

AUTOMOTIVE EMBEDDED LABORATORY

The Automotive Embedded Lab aids students in developing their understanding of the architecture, programming, and interface of various processors and microcontrollers. Students can hone their talents in the areas of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and their automotive applications. The features and amenities offered in this lab will assist the students in completing their projects and expanding their knowledge of automotive embedded technologies.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE LABORATORY

The vehicle maintenance laboratory is a place where students can get knowledge about how to service and maintain different types of vehicles for their continuous performance and reconditioning work on them. Also, students will gain direct, practical exposure to the service and maintenance of all important vehicles and their sub-systems. This lab is fully equipped with machines like a computerized wheel aligner, wheel balancer, tire inflator, tire remover, A/C gas refilling machine, valve grinding machine, valve lapping machine, head light aligner, and two post lifts. Measuring instruments, general and special purpose tools, and air power tools such as pneumatic guns are also available in this lab for vehicle service and maintenance jobs. The lab is also capable of doing several consultancies works related to all types of vehicle service and maintenance.
