The paper presents design, development and evaluation of an integrated system intended to improve scientific and academic use of the internal combustion test bench Rapido VEM-100, produced in Germany. The test bench is located in Biofuel Research Laboratory of Latvia University of Agriculture and it is intensively used for scientific research according to biodiesel use in compression ignition engines. Due to the special funds technicians of the laboratory have the possibility to improve this test bench replacing rheostat used in load adjustment with intentionally designed current controller and adding set of special sensors for scientific research supplied by Kistler. Analysis of this technical solution as also of the others has been discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
