Climatic environment testing for combustion engines
Guarantee the performance and reliability of your engines in all weather conditions
The Emitech Group offers climatic environment testing specially designed to test and validate the performance of your internal combustion engines (ICE) under extreme conditions. Thanks to our cutting-edge technological infrastructure and the in-depth expertise of our engineers, we can provide precise and rigorous validation to optimise the robustness and reliability of your engines in the face of the most severe climatic variations.

Why carry out climate tests on your engines?
Testing in a climatic environment is essential for :
- Check the engine's thermal behaviour in extreme conditions.
- Establish engine mapping.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with international standards.
- Identify and prevent potential malfunctions linked to weather conditions.
- Optimise performance and reliability in actual operation.
- Validate the thermal management of the engine and its components.
Compatible with all types of engines and fuels
Our facilities can accommodate and efficiently test a wide variety of combustion engines running on different fuels: petrol, diesel, ethanol, methanol, LPG, CNG, kerosene, ammonia and hydrogen. This versatility guarantees exhaustive and relevant validation for each specific application.
Our specialist facilities for climatic testing of combustion engines
The Emitech Group has advanced facilities that enable full simulation of climatic conditions.
Dedicated climate units
We have climatic chambers capable of reproducing temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C, with precise humidity control. These chambers faithfully simulate the most severe weather conditions to guarantee the continued performance of your engines.
Dynamic simulation of real-life conditions
Our facilities include climatic chassis dynamometers that enable us to carry out engine tests under operating conditions that are very close to the real thing:
- Simulation of normative cycles (WLTP, FTP75, Artemis, etc.).
- Specific cold start, rapid warm-up and full-load operation tests in extreme environments.
- Validation of thermal management of fluids (oil, water, air) at extreme temperatures.

Detailed and in-depth measurements
Each climate test includes a complete analysis of engine performance and pollutant emissions under rigorous conditions:
- Measurement of exhaust gases (CO, CO2, NOx, HC, particulates).
- Precise assessment of fuel consumption in a range of climatic conditions.
- Real-time monitoring of engine parameters (pressure, temperature, vibration).
Additional altimeter tests
In addition to climatic tests, the Emitech Group also offers altimeter tests to validate engine performance at simulated altitudes of up to 100 mbar. This is particularly crucial for engines designed for high-altitude environments or for aeronautical applications.
The performance of a combustion engine is highly dependent on atmospheric pressure. At altitude, the increasing scarcity of air affects :
- The power delivered by the engine (air/fuel ratio).
- Overall energy efficiency.
- Pollutant emission levels (NOx, CO, HC).
- Cold start and thermal behaviour.
- Supercharging strategy (turbo, compressor).
Our technical expertise and support solutions
Our specialist engineers will support you throughout the climatic testing process:
- Preparation of the engines and precise installation on the test benches.
- Continuous technical monitoring with real-time adjustments during the tests.
- Detailed analysis and interpretation of results using advanced tools such as AVL Concerto.
- Optimisation advice and practical recommendations to improve performance.
