Engine Testing
ARi has a comprehensive range of testing services for engines & related parts designed to help you develop better products and get to market on time
Overview
Intro
At ARi, we have the capability to test multiple engine systems. Our performance and validation tests have included monitoring the injection profile and pressures of the turbo charger for actual pressure ratio and maximum efficiencies. The engine computers are monitored and controlled for engine management, design & development to improve fuel consumption or reduce exhaust emissions. Various structures are mounted to the engines with Accelerometers & Strain Gauges coupled to high-speed data acquisition systems for vibration and durability analysis. Finally, our lineup of Emissions Testing Equipment allows us to monitor exhaust particulate matter, NOx and other emission gases to perform Tier IV validation involving steady-state and transient duty test cycles.
