MAXIMUM OUTPUT
The maximum output of an engine
is
such standard power as developed by the engine, after its initial break-in
period with all the moving parts properly worn in, when operating with a fully open throttle valve, Therefore,
a new engine may not develop the maximum output in the beginning because the moving parts are not in a
properly worn-in condition.
2-2
CONTINUOUS RATED OUTPUT
The continuous rated output of an engine
is
such power as developed
by
that engine when running continu-
ously at an optimum speed, and most favorable from the viewpoint of engine life and fuel consumption ratio,
with the governor in operation. It is suggested, therefore, that when designing a driving system
for
any mech-
anism, with this engine
as
prime mover, the continuous power requirement
of
that mechanism be kept below
the continuous rated output specified.

MAXIMUM TORQUE
and
FUEL CONSUMPTION
RATIO
at
MAXIMUM OUTPUT
These mean the maximum torque of the output shaft and fuel consumption ratio at the maxiumum output
of
an
engine.
