Engine Simulation Systems

Various tests of the physical prototype are conducted to verify the results of the theoretical development stages. The testing is conducted to ensure that the prototype behaves as expected or if further design optimization is required.

The Powertrain Dynamometer System (right) is utilized to detect the excessive torsional vibration that can create fatigue and reduce efficiency. Testing applications include:
  • Simulation of engine crankshaft torsional vibration
  • Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) development and analysis
  • Evaluation of torsion vibration damper dampers
 

 
The Engine Simulation System (left) accurately simulates the torsional pulsation found on the crankshaft of an engine. This system permits the testing of a part independently of the actual engine. This independent testing capability avoids the time involved in having to secure an actual engine and shortens the design and testing intervals.

This system provides all the capabilities and data of the Powertrain Dynamometer System.
