Powertrain Technology has a wealth of experience in the specification, design, procurement, and operation of a variety of rigs for proof of concept, product development and sign-off, as well as durability qualification. A few examples of our work are:
- High fidelity Bearing development, with either oil or water lubrication, capable of replicating the bearing load history originated by engine combustion
- Fast acting, high acceleration valvetrain, for proof of concept, model correlation and conformance to durability targets
- Rigs for testing of plural stage pumps for multiphase fluids, to confirm the performance of the machine to comply with the design specification, collect data for model validations and assess durability
A critical part of rig testing is the definition of the minimum set of features the rig needs to appropriately replicate the operating conditions which a machine, subsystem or component will experience in the field, as well as the instrumentation needed to monitor the operation and characterise the performance of the test subject.
PTL draw on their extensive experience in system modelling, development and validation to create rig testing solutions which minimise development cost time whilst maximising the technical return of testing activities.
