Engine Development & Durability Test Systems
The ever-present push for increased performance, fuel economy and durability and recent rule and policy changes taking place in regulated industries combine to create serious challenges for engine developers. These challenges require well-developed test solutions. In response to these challenges, Mustang Dynamometer, in conjunction with Rockwell Automation, has developed the MD-AC-1200-10K High Performance Engine Development & Durability Dynamometer.
The MD-AC-1200-10K is a state-of-the-art high performance test system that combines some of the industry's most advanced technologies along with Mustang's powerful TESTCell™ Automation Software to provide a truly advanced engine development tool. The system is powered by an 1200/800-Hp variable speed AC motor and a regenerative AC controller from Rockwell Automation.
The MD-AC-1200-10K offers many advantages over competitive systems in the market. By utilizing high speed AC motors and an advanced control system, the MD-AC-1200-10K makes it possible to perform tests such as vehicle and track simulation that are simply impossible with competing systems employing older technology.
The following table offers a comparison of Mustang’s AC/Electric system to the competition’s Eddy Current and Inertia Weight systems.
