Super Cool
Testing
Engine dyno
testing with low temperature capable, independent control of
the intake manifold air temperature and engine coolant
temperature has become increasingly important as engine
performance and combustion recipes are tailored to meet low
emission standards.
Engine operation during light duty driving and engine warm-up
conditions can lead to undesirable effects such as visible
white, brown, and yellow smoke. The U.S.
EPA and other regulatory agencies have also begun to require
some level of emissions compliance in the operating regime
where the engine has not yet reached normal operating
temperatures. Three of the test cells at AEI have been
configured to offer testing services with the following
capabilities:
▪
Eddy current dynamometer with up to 800 HP absorption
▪
Motoring dynamometers with 600 to 800 HP
▪
Independent engine coolant control down to 100°F
▪
Independent intake manifold temperature control down to 40°F
▪
Exhaust measurements include: NOx, unburned HC, and smoke
▪
Standard test cell instrumentation for temperatures and
pressures
▪
Fuel consumption measurements
▪
Readily available fuel types: standard #2 diesel, low sulfur
fuel (15ppm), ultra-low sulfur fuel (<10ppm)
NOTE: The above temperature ranges are available at the test
cell with no special setup required. Lower temperatures can be
achieved upon request. Please call for further information.
