Engine testing services go on show

The MTT facility is equipped with benches specifically designed to accommodate heavy automobile engine and light airplane engine assemblies for endurance tests and technical studies.

MTT MoteurTest is a test bench facility, home to more than ten separate benches for motor vehicle and airplane engines.

The company will present its facilities and services at the SAE Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress and Exhibition in Rosemont, from 30th October to 1st November at booth 706, the Diesel France pavilion.

The different markets using diesel technologies are constantly evolving to meet anti-pollution standards and reduce operating costs.

The integration of electronics into managing diesel engines has changed the technology in the past ten years.

Changes include the progression from low-pressure indirect fuel injection to a high-pressure direct injection.

EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) systems and particulate filters also allow engine manufacturers to stick to the toughest anti-pollution standards.

Attuned with changing manufacturer requirements and increasingly stringent emissions regulations, the MTT facility is equipped with benches specifically designed to accommodate heavy automobile engine and light airplane engine assemblies for endurance tests and technical studies on the engines, endurance tests for precise parts, and can accommodate fuel consumption and combustion analysis tests for both diesel and gasoline engines.

MTT has 13 benches altogether, one of which entirely dedicated to testing cold starts, one to accommodate propellers, and one inclined test bench.

Trials using any type of fuel are possible, including gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, methane gas and LPG/GPL.

The company also offers off-site testing by sending its technicians to perform tests at a client's site.
