Why carry out endurance tests?

Endurance testing is a crucial stage in the development and validation of combustion engines. They make it possible to :

Check the robustness of the engine's mechanical components.
Determine the resistance to wear in continuous operation.
Assess the reliability of the engine over long periods.
Detect any design problems before going into production.
Validate claimed performance under realistic and severe conditions.

Tests adaptable to all types of fuel

We offer tests on a wide range of fuels: petrol, diesel, ethanol, methanol, LPG, CNG, kerosene, ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2). This enables us to meet the validation needs of all current and future technologies, including in the most innovative and demanding contexts.

Our endurance testing facilities

The Emitech Group has some of the most advanced facilities in Europe, enabling it to carry out tests under a wide range of controlled conditions.

Dynamic engine test cells

Our engine test cells are equipped with high-performance chassis dynamometers capable of accurately reproducing real-life stresses and specific cycles in accordance with international standards (WLTP, FTP75, NRSC, NRTC, etc.).

Climate-controlled environment

Our climatic facilities enable us to test your motors at temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C, with precise humidity regulation. This guarantees perfect reproduction of the extreme weather conditions your motors may encounter during their life cycle.

Advanced measurement equipment

We use state-of-the-art measuring equipment to monitor and collect data:

Exhaust gas analysis: CO, CO2, NOx, HC, CH4.
Measurement of fine and ultra-fine particles using latest-generation AVL analysers.
Precise control of temperature, pressure, vibration and mechanical stress in real time.

Our altimeter test capability

Our equipment can also be used to carry out tests in simulated altimetric conditions up to a pressure corresponding to an extreme altitude (100 mbar). This type of test is particularly relevant for engines intended for high-altitude markets or aeronautical applications.

Benefit from our comprehensive post-test expertise and personalised support for greater operational flexibility

Following the tests, an in-depth assessment is carried out on the engines to precisely analyse their mechanical behaviour and identify any weak points or premature wear. Our team of engineers and technicians carries out detailed diagnostics, providing a clear interpretation and concrete recommendations for improving your products.We understand that every project is unique. That's why we offer personalised support at every stage of your endurance testing. Our operational flexibility and our ability to quickly adapt our test rigs to your technical specifications guarantee a rapid and accurate response to your needs.
