Auto Rickshaw Project

Try the manufacturer. Who else do you think would have these proprietary documents?

Why do you need to modify the power curve. I'd think just getting the thing to move will be enough of a challenge. CAD model???????????? Why?

And, we don't do homework here.

actually i m going to install air conditioning kit in auto rickshaw....and power available by its existing engine is nt enough coz its just 7bhp engine ...n only air conditioning system require 5 bhp so i decided to go for 18bhp pulser engine....so for analysis i needed that stuff

Good luck.

Engine of Bajaj Pulsar 180

- 180cc air-cooled DTS-i engine
- Maximum power is 16.8 Bhp at 8500 rpm
- Maximum torque is 14.2 Nm at 6500 rpm

Pulsar 180 generates maximum power of 16.8 Bhp at 8500 rpm with maximum torque of 14.2 Nm at 6500 rpm.

This will probably change if you convert to LPG or CNG....

thanks......

How big of AC system are you running in your rickshaw to need a 5 HP compressor system?

A standard home sized 30,000 BTU capacity unit only needs around 5 hp to run the compressor.

by heat load calculation i got the result that cooling system should required around 0.95 ton of refrigeration..so 1 TR= 3.517/0.746=4.71 HP ...and even normal car has air conditioning system of 1TR OR 1.5 TR....

How do you come up with that high of heat load calculation for something that couldn't be much more than 2 - 3 cubic meters in volume?

How big is this thing and is it built purely out of Fresnel lenses?

I am just asking because the evaporator core in my Ford F250 four door pickup is about half the size of the one in my 8000 BTU window air conditioner in my bedroom. and the pickups blower doesn't move anywhere near the air volume either and that has at least 4 times the volume of a rickshaw.

There is no set relationship between tonnage and HP, it depends on the suction and head pressure....I believe your calculations are in the ballpark for cooling required, but HP and BTU cooling required will vary according to temp and probably peak at close to 5 HP....but will operate in a range 1 - 4+ hp....

This has been done before, I would try to contact someone who has done this and seek their guidance....

A/C systems in cars have a switch that increases engine rpm when the a/c system is engaged...

thank you sir.....

I don't know what part of the world you are in, but I would first be looking at automotive type air conditioners, determine how much HP you need to operate it and then choose a suitable gas engine. The engine that runs the rickshaw can also operate an alternator that drives the air conditioner. Cad models and power curves aren't going to tell you much. This is a trial and error type project.

i need power curve just to know about how much power is available during idling period so that i could know weather it is sufficient to run compressor or not....

It will have next to no power at idle to rotate a compressor.

How in all that is holy do you intend to couple to the clutch input shaft (red circuit here)?

Getting messy.....

Do they do a dry clutch kit for your proposed powerplant?

No sense in re-inventing the rickshaw.

SolarEagle has even provided the names of some possible sources of information for you.

I'd be looking at a small block V-8 with twin lickover cams and twice pipes.

Lyn-Door Industries sells a kit to disguise a Chevy Cavalier 3.1 L engine to look like a Pulser 180 engine. The kit has provisions for mounting air conditioning compressor, as well as provisions for power steering and brakes. Automatic and 5 speed manual versions both exist. Rear steering is possible with just some small modifications. Act now while supplies remain plentiful
