TITAN Engine T

Transient Engine Test Stand System

The design of the TITAN Engine T Series is optimized for steady state and transient engine testing of light and heavy-duty gasoline, diesel and H2 internal combustion engines. All systems are equipped with the flexible and powerful combination of SPARC Engine test stand controller and STARS Engine test automation system.

Each TITAN Engine Test Stand is optimally designed for categories of combustion engines. The range of TITAN Engine Test Systems from HORIBA enables you to add dependable testing capacity in the shortest possible time. All systems are supplied pre-tested and pre-assembled on a mounting plate ensuring fast and reliable installation on site without need for special foundations. The modular design of the systems means that you do not have to compromise on flexibility or choice. The systems have a wide range of options, so that future upgrades are easily added to meet new requirements.

Typical System Diagram

The TITAN Engine test cell can be devided in 6 areas:

Loading Unit
Conditioning Units
Measuring Equipment
Automation system
Operator Area
Test Field Automation

The engine (specimen) is connected to the engine dnamometer (dyno) – in in the example shown, a DYNAS3 load unit.

The dyno is powered by the variable frequency drive cabinets, that can be located in the test cell or outside the test cell, for example in the technical area.

The specimen inputs (such as throttle position) are sent and handled by the Automation System, such as the HORIBA STARS Engine. The STARS Workstation is in charge of handling all the measuring equipment, besides the dyno, such as the Fuel Consumption Meter, Oil Consumption Meter, Exhaust Gas Analyzers, Smoke Meter, Conditioning Units, etc.

The interface between the test cell operator and the Automation System is the STARS HMI PC and the SPARC Operator Panel.

Besides, the information from the test cell can be transferred to STARS Enterprise, for an efficient test lab data management and process automation.
