This laboratory consists all types of engine like single cylinder, multi-cylinder SI & CI engines connected with mechanical, electrical and hydraulic dynamometers. Engines with EGR, turbocharge, with VCR, with facility to run on duel fuel are available. The laboratory has a sophisticated computerized research engine, exhaust gas analyser, smoke meter and fuel testing facilities.

FESTO AUTOMATION TRAINING CENTRE

The centre is aimed to impart automation skill to students to develop skills which are required for many manufacturing and processing industries. Main focus of the centre is on skill development on industrial automation through pneumatics, hydraulics, electro pneumatics, electro hydraulics, programmable logic controllers, Fluid Sim (software) and codesys - IEC 61131-3 programming tools. Students have the opportunity to do their internship on industrial automation in republican institute for vocational education, Minsk, Belarus. after successfully completing the courses offered from the centre on industrial automation. The internship is about industry revolution 4.0 which is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies.

CU-MBRDI DAIMLER TRUCK TEAR DOWN FACILITY

This facility is for the tear down of Daimler trucks starting with a Light Duty Truck (LDT) followed by Medium Duty and Heavy duty Trucks. The training involves dismantling truck parts in sequence starting from cabin & steering system, engine periphery, transmission system, electrical system, suspension and braking system. Each dismantled part of truck will be studied with respect to its design, manufacture, assembly for further improvements and innovations. The training contributes to provide hands-on experience, benchmarking and knowledge sharing in various verticals of vehicle construction and engineering to provide industry ready engineers.

Ecosence Renewable Energy Laboratory

The facilities caters to the needs of both academic and research. Research scholars can design and test new renewable energy systems in its domains of Solar and Wind energy. The facilities include Solar PV Grid Tied Training System, Solar PV Emulator, Wind Energy Training System, Wind Emulator, Solar Thermal Training System and Solar Concentrator Training System

Research Laboratory

Advanced Material

Advanced material testing research laboratory consisting of facilities for cross sectional metallographic specimen preparation, microstructure analysis, material property testing, testing fatigue, hardness and impact, surface engineering laboratory for thermal shock and thermal barrier testing ceramic coated metal specimen and coating facility with Spray Drier.

Research Laboratory

Alternate Fuels

The 50-litre capacity biodiesel plant is equipped with advanced technology helps to carry out mass production of biodiesel efficiently. A customised multi-fuel engine
modified from Kirloskar oil engine, which has the option of varying compression ratio from 6:1 to 10:1 for petrol (rated power 3HP) and 12:1 to 20:1 for diesel (rated power 5HP) helps to test alternative fuels of gasoline and diesel with eddy current dynamometer.

Centre

E-mobility

The facility is developed with the vision to provide the avenues with regards to improved charging infrastructure, smart electric drive systems, IoT technologies for EVs and improved power system dynamics. R & D Facility is a joint venture of Safran Engineering Services, IEEE and CHRIST (Deemed to be University).

Research Laboratory

Surface Engineering

A Research laboratory, funded by VSSC, ISRO, Thiruvanathapuram, involves the development of ceramic coating configurations to reduce the surface temperature of the aerospace component (re-entry vehicle) to serve at elevated temperatures without undergoing thermal fatigue and failure.
