XHIB1TS on the A,E.C. stand at the
Engineering, Marine. Welding and Nuclear Energy Exhibition, to be held at Olympia, London,. from April 16-30, include two new turbocharged versions of recently introduced engines. One of these is the AVT 1100, a Rotol-blown AV 1100 unit, which has an automotive rating of 360 b.h.p. at 1,900 r.p.m., compared with the normally aspirated output of 275 b.h.p. at the same speed. The continuous rating of the blown engine is 285 b.h.p. at 1,800 r.p.m.
The other blown unit is a Holsetequipped AV 690 engine which is rated at 210 b.h.p. at 2,000 r.p.m., or 170 b.h.p. at 1,800 r.p.m. for continuous operation. The normally aspirated version of this unit develops 165 b.h.p. at 2,000.
Both these new engines are suitable for heavy-duty automotive applications. A further exhibit is an AV 312G fourcylindered 75 b.h.p. engine, shown in its industrial form. This unit has already been successfully applied to goods chassis in this country as a conversion unit.
