The standardized test cart does work okay. But from a production point of view I'm trying to eliminate work that doesn't add any value. It seems more logical to fit the exhaust once in the test cell directly to the engine if the problems can be overcome.
Ideally I would like some kind of space...
The usual test cycle time is about 2 hours so minimising rigging/de -rigging time is very important.
I like Mike's idea of using flexible hose to the test cell wall or I could hang it down from the roof if sufficient movememnt can be achieved to cover all the outlet locations. It would then...
The engines are all diesels
Unfortunately I need to measure exhaust back pressure/smoke/temperature in each bank of the engine. To simulate back pressure from mufflers, a flap has to be set in a Y piece where the gases from both banks meet. So I don't think i can use a hood and extractor. Cell...
Hi all,
I'm designing an exhaust system for an industrial engine (50 litre) test cell and need a design that covers engines of various sizes and exhaust outlet configurations.
To achieve this I need X2 articulating exhaust systems for each cell ( one for each bank of V 12-16's engines ) -...
Thanks for your suggestions
There is a 'trouser' collector section at the top with stainless steel bellows that collects the exhaust from the left and right exhaust banks so expansion is already taken care of. I'm designing the legs that go from the left/right bank turbo to the trouser.
I...
Hi all, I thought somebody might be able to give me some advice. I'm designing an exhaust for an 80 litre 16 cylinder 2000hp diesel engine using modular tubes and bends to replace a fully fabricated exhaust. This was very expensive to make.
I have something suitable on the drawing board using...
