Testing
From performance to validationDieselJet provides comprehensive testing capabilities for aircraft piston engines, from performance evaluation and calibration to endurance and system validation.
Test programs can be defined according to customer requirements and applicable aeronautical requirements, supported by dedicated facilities, instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
Flight Stand Test Cell
Dedicated flight-stand facilities allow aircraft engines to be tested in representative installation conditions, supporting performance, endurance and system validation activities.
Testing capabilities include:
• Engine performance measurement
• Fuel consumption and fluid-flow measurement
• Pressure and temperature monitoring
• Vibration and combustion analysis
• Automated test cycles and data acquisition
• Endurance testing
• Pressure-altitude simulation
• Multiple fuel grades and specialty fuels
Dynamometer Test Cell Services
DieselJet’s dynamometer test facilities support comprehensive engine characterization across a wide range of operating conditions.
Testing capabilities include:
• Eddy-current dynamometer testing
• Engine speeds up to 10,000 rpm
• Liquid- and air-cooled engine testing
• Torque, power and fuel-consumption measurement
• Pressure, temperature and fluid-flow monitoring
• Combustion and vibration analysis
• Automated test cycles and data acquisition
• Pressure-altitude simulation
Engine Performance & Power Check
Performance testing verifies engine output under defined operating conditions and supports the assessment of power, fuel consumption and overall engine behaviour.
Typical activities include:
• Engine installation and test-cell setup
• Engine run-in
• Oil-consumption testing
• Rated-condition power verification
• End-of-line power checks
Engine Calibration & Mapping
Comprehensive calibration testing enables engine performance to be evaluated across the operating envelope and optimized for specific application requirements.
Engine speed, load and manifold-pressure conditions can be systematically evaluated to characterize:
• Power and torque
• Fuel consumption
• Thermal behaviour
• Operating parameters
• Engine performance maps
