Performance testing for combustion engines
Accurately validate the real performance of your engines
The Emitech Group puts its recognised expertise and state-of-the-art infrastructure at your service to carry out rigorous performance tests on your combustion engines. Our technical solutions enable you to obtain the precise, reliable data you need to optimise and certify your declared power and torque characteristics.
Why carry out engine performance tests?
Performance testing is essential for :
- Accurately assess power and torque curves.
- Optimise engine calibration to achieve the best performance.
- Check engine compliance with power and emissions standards.
- Accurately measure fuel consumption and pollutant emissions under real and simulated conditions.
- Validate settings for optimum performance in all situations of use.
Compatible with all fuels
Our technical flexibility means we can assess the performance of engines running on a wide range of fuels: petrol, diesel, bioethanol, methanol, LPG, CNG, kerosene, ammonia and hydrogen. This versatility is essential to anticipate and support technological developments in the automotive and industrial sectors.
Our advanced technical capabilities
The Emitech Group has a comprehensive range of equipment and dynamic engine test benches enabling performance tests to be carried out in accordance with rigorous, standardised protocols.
High-precision dynamometers
Our facilities include the latest generation of AVL engine test benches, capable of handling power ratings of up to 330 kW and torques of up to 3100 Nm, giving us the flexibility to test any type of thermal engine, from light vehicles to heavy-duty applications.
Detailed and precise measurements
Each performance test includes a complete series of measurements to guarantee the reliability of the results obtained:
- Precise measurement of engine torque and power up to 10,000 rpm.
- Fine control of fuel consumption using high-precision AVL coriolis flowmeters.
- Complete exhaust gas analysis to determine regulated emissions (CO, CO2, NOx, HC, fine particles).
- Real-time pressure and temperature readings over the entire engine for complete diagnostics.
