They are equipped with a valid instrumentation, suitable to carry out very accurate measurements. The eddy current brakes, also called “Test Benches”, are equipments which allow the check of the mechanical behaviour of different types of engine, allowing the user to obtain the requested results operating them on the acquired variables.
The eddy current brake can be used to carry out the following tests:
- Experim entation.
- Engine running in .
- Power supplying systems .
- Injiections pumps and regulators .
- Starting devices .
- Fuel consumption .
- Oil c onsumption .
- Engine heating .
- Engine temperatures and pressures .
- Exhaust gas emissions .
- Homologation system
according to the prescribed technical specifications.
The a.m. tests are carried out in a testing room, avoiding in this way the problems connected to the tests on road for the engines concerning cars and motorcycles field. There are many different sectors in which the eddy current brakes can be used:
For example:
- Explosion engines .
- Diesel engines . Electric motors .
- Hydraulic engines .
- Pumps .
- Gear motors
They are a valid educational instrument for technical schools and a practical help for ENGINE SET UP MEN.
