Powertrain Dynamometer
Powertrain or engine test rig for analysis of the entire vehicle, the complete vehicle drivetrain or the components.
Depending on the test requirements, the test stand configuration is setup for static- or dynamic tests.
Highly dynamic drives are used to derive torques in the test setup or to obtain them. Optionally, additional stimulations, such as the road surface simulation can be integrated by using hydraulic actuators in the test procedure.
Application Examples
- Realistic road driving simulation by tracing predetermined driving cycles or road profiles
- Evaluation of energy efficiency
- Fuel consumption measurement
- CO2 emissions determination
- Range detection
- Exhaust gas measurement
