Description

The Hybrid Engine Training Bench, manufactured by Atto Labware, is a complete educational platform designed to demonstrate the construction, operation, and control systems of hybrid vehicle engines. This training system provides students with a clear understanding of how internal combustion engines (ICE) integrate with electric motors and energy storage systems in hybrid powertrains. Built on a mobile bench-mounted frame, it is ideally suited for automobile labs, vocational institutes, and technical universities.

Educational Objectives

Students will be able to:

1. Understand the architecture and working principles of hybrid engines.

2. Identify and study the interaction between ICE, electric motor, and battery systems.

3. Perform diagnostic and troubleshooting exercises using sensors and control units.

4. Explore energy management strategies in hybrid systems.

5. Apply safety protocols and maintenance procedures for hybrid powertrains.

Performance Measurement

Training outcomes are evaluated through:

• Correct identification of hybrid engine components.

• Demonstration of hybrid engine operation under different load conditions.

• Verification of sensor signals, control unit responses, and data acquisition.

• Troubleshooting of faults introduced in ICE, electric, or battery subsystems.

• Assessment of student competence in hybrid system safety and maintenance.
