Development and validation

Development and validation

We are involved in the development and validation phases of vehicles and their components, particularly for your powertrains (architecture definition, sizing, specification, calibration, characterization and endurance, pollution, autonomy. .) as well as for their qualification.

 

 

Thermal (ICE-D/G, MHEV, e-fuels, H2, NH3), hybrid (HEV, PHEV) and electric (BEV, FCEV)

High-dynamic, dynamic or stationary benches

DYNAMICS BENCHES FOR THERMAL (ICE-D/G, MHEV, E-FUELS, H2, NH3),
HYBRID (HEV, PHEV) AND ELECTRIC (BEV, FCEV)

The Emitech Group has 3 powertrain benches for characterization campaigns (performance, vibration... ) or endurance campaigns to develop or validate your thermal or electrified powertrain.

The expertise of our staff also enables us to handle any type of cycle or customer mission profile.

HIGH-DYNAMICS E-MOTOR BENCH

The EMITECH group has 3 high-dynamics characterization benches, including one dedicated to the EMC cage. These resources, developed and produced by the group's test bench BU, are used to characterize and validate electrical machines and/or their inverters over their entire operating range.

Note that these resources are also used to carry out R85 tests (power homologation) for which the Emitech group is NF EN ISO 17025 accredited at its Montigny le Bretonneux site.

Max speed: 20,000 rpm / Cmax: 500 Nm / Pmax: 250kW

HIGH-DYNAMICS COMPONENT BENCH (48V E-MACHINE)

This high-dynamics bench  enables characterization of components such as the complete mapping of a starter-alternator (48V) from the actual torque achieved in order to recalibrate the mapping values.

Initially developed for the aeronautics sector, it is more specifically dedicated to high-speed 48V applications notably in the automotive sector.

NEW FUEL AND E-FUEL BENCH

Our H2/NH3 high-dynamic engine dyno is an adaptation of our high-performance dyno designed to meet engine development requirements for various engine types: gasoline, diesel and natural gas (280 bar supply). It offers great versatility to address all engine development issues:

  • Measurement and calibration optimization work on stabilized points for performance, combustion, consumption, pollutant emissions, etc.
  • Automatic calibration
  • Automatic conduct of experimental designs and associated data analysis
  • Realization of standardized cycles under chassis dynamometer simulation conditions
  • Simulation of customer-representative high-dynamic driving cycles (RDE)
  • Accelerated engine maceration
  • ECU software bypass prototyping

 

Our bench offers the option of operating in liquid NH3 mode (PFI or DI injection up to 100 bar) or gaseous NH3 (with a nominal flow rate of 150kg/h), but also in mixed NH3 + H2 combustion and H2 alone (nominal flow rate 25kg/h and nominal pressure of 40 bar)

CLIMATIC CELLS WITH THEIR ROLLER BENCHES FOR VEHICLE TESTS

A climatic cell with its climatic roller bench enables to simulate and reproduce a vehicle's environment.

Rolling tests can be carried out in extreme temperature ranges (cold and high-temperature rolling) as well as cold and high-temperature start-up tests.

Tests can be implemented to meet our customers' needs in terms of validation and/or development of a product or function.

These test facilities can also be used to carry out tests on sub-assemblies in accordance with manufacturers' standards and specifications (e.g. CL08 tests to PSA standard B21 7130)

 

Test context typology in key words: Maceration, isospeed, characterization, performance, consumption, depollution, Cold start (explo, Tune-up), spark plug fouling, catalytic converter aging, FAP durability, clutch behaviour, cycle driving, driving with simulated road laws, putting into action, climatic validation...
