Our Facility
• Our facility houses three dynamometer test cells which are supported by fully automated systems to allow automatic and manual running
• Our infrastructure and set-up means we can run one-off manual tests e.g. Power Curve to 24-hour race simulation cycles
• We are able to deal with gasoline, diesel and specialist fuels
• On site support services to facilitate testing:
• Engine build shop
• Teardown / layout
area
• Instrumentation
supply and
installation
• Fabrication and
welding
• Manual machining
Our Dynos
• Three absorption dynamometer equipped test cells
• 550kW power capability
• 10,000rpm speed capability
• fully automated REO-ETCTM real-time control
systems
• 24 hour-a-day, 7 days-a-week engineer supported running
• 48 k-type temperature measurement channels
• 26 pressure measurement channels
