Introduction
New design technology needs to be proven, not only for strength but
also endurance.
Therefore we have invested heavily, at our Research
And Development site, in an engine dynamometer. This allows us
to work with both potential and current customers, providing product
support and exchange engineering data. |
An engine dynamometer enables engine component designs to be tested in
their natural environment under extreme operating conditions.
Details that include load, speed, temperature and time give accurate
results of the performance of connecting rods under extreme operating
conditions.

Capability
Most of our testing is either Steady State or Transient.
Steady State being at a constant speed, constant load and over a
set time. Transient testing involves stepped changes to speed
and/or load. Manifold pressure and torque values can be set
and there are safety overrides for temperature or pressure
parameters. |
Maximum power
capability is 970kW at up to 5000 revs per minute with good resolution
and control at all intermediate points. Performance is monitored
with fast acting low inertia thermocouples and pressure with
electronic sensors. Data may be logged at high speeds, tabulated
and transmitted via internet as required to customers located
worldwide. Closed loop temperature or pressure control is
available for thermal or pressure testing to exacting standards linked
with controlled ambient conditions. Analogue or digital signals may be
collected for analysis from extra equipment if required together with
noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) parameters.
Staff are familiar with the European & North American Power and
Emissions testing to current and future emission legislations together
with catalysis & trapping techniques, smoke and particulate
measurement techniques.
Engine measurement and rebuild is available as a complement to the
dynamometer facility.
Full report preparation and publishing is part of the testing package
and all work meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2000
