This report is written as part of the thesis requirements for a bachelor of science in Automotive systems at Luleå University of Technology. BAE systems Hägglunds was in need of improved user interface and standardization of their test rigs for drivelines. There was a lack of a naming system for the sensors, formulas for efficiency and heating power as well as the absence of graphical view of the test objects with associated sensors. All of this is important for an efficient development procedure. Also a suggestion on suitable replacement of the mechanical water flow sensor was requested. This report presents the theory around the components and sensors regarding the test rigs, methods for making the decision and finished results. By developing an understanding of the test cell and test subjects, graphical recreations could be created with belonging calculations and documentation. Reading of analog signals and digital CAN-messages made it possible to collect and use the data from the sensors that was requested. By comparing the different flow sensors a of that the inductive flow sensor is most suitable for BAE System Hägglunds was made. The thesis resulted in a chosen naming system which is according to(Element)(Material)_(High/LowTemperature)_(Subject)_(In/Out). Formulas for efficiency and heating power, as well as 6 graphical views, 6 implemented views and 6 Excel documents was made and implemented in the DewesoftX software. The graphical views strongly improved the user interface of the test cell. Because some of the objects are classified they can also be used when presenting the data from testing without giving out more information than necessary. Also to make it easy to see where the sensors are placed and how to install the object in the test cell. This is very useful for BAE Systems Hägglunds that are now expanding their personal that will need basic knowledge of the test cell.

Bio-fuels, being the primary alternative to the fossil fuels, used in the internal combustion engines are subjected to constant development. The development of alternative Ethanol Diesel (ED95) formulations at AVL Motortestcenter AB has demanded a test facility capable of evaluating the combustion quality of these specimens. A test cell capable of evaluating fuels operating on the compression ignition concept was required for this reason. The aim of this thesis is to develop a high pressure fuel delivery system for a single cylinder test cell engine. The literature review conducted offered knowledge on stages involved in the development of the fuel and the operation of high pressure fuel systems for engines operating on the Diesel concept. Knowledge was acquired on phenomenon such as pressure fluctuations and information regarding engine test cells was familiarised. Scania's XPI fuel system being the designated fuel system for the test cell was studied and adaptations required for its implementation in the single cylinder test cell was investigated. Based on the information acquired, recommendations for the set up of the high pressure fuel system for the single cylinder test cell engine are mentioned. / Förnyelsebara biobränslen är det primära alternativet till fossila bränslen för användning i interna förbränningsmotorer och är under ständig utveckling. För den fortsatta utvecklingen av etanoldiesel (ED95) genom provning av nya formuleringar vid AVL Motortestcenter AB krävs ett lämplig testupplägg. Förbränningskvalitetsutvärderingen kräver en avancerad testcell där bränslets förbränningsegenskaper kan utvärderas. Målet med detta arbete var att utveckla ett högtrycksbränslesystem lämpligt för en singelcylindrig forskningsmotor som arbetar enligt kompressionständningsprincipen (dieselprincipen). Litteraturstudien samlade kunskap om bränsleutveckling samt kunskap om dieselmotorers högtrycksbränslesystemen, dess uppbyggnad och utmaningar. Kunskap om fenomen som tryckoscillationer och kavitation i bränslesystem samt förståelse för motorprovcellers uppbyggnad införskaffades. Scanias XPI bränslesystem, som forskningsmotorns högtrycks- bränslesystem ska efterlikna, studerades och adaptioner för att passa till encylinderkörningar i provcell utvärderades. Baserat på informationen ges rekommendationer på hur Scanias XPI system kan implementeras och justeras för att fungera i AVL’s singelcylinderprovcell.
