Cold Motoring Friction
AEI has helped several customers develop engine control strategies and calibration maps for cold operation. The AEI supercell provides the ability to cool the engine and fluids to temperatures as low as -40 deg. C. The motoring dyno then can rotate the engine at different speeds while using an inline torque flange to measure the torque required to overcome the engine friction at a given speed. This data is compiled to create appropriate engine fueling maps for good driveability and torque transparency to the vehicle driver. This test cell may also be utilized to conduct motoring tear down tests, such that the friction attributed to various engine components may be measured.
