The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Engine Research Center (ERC) wanted to transform its existing diesel engine test cell into a versatile test cell with high altitude simulation capability. This upgrade was needed for research focused on the high altitude test of multi-fuel capable compression-ignition engines. The ACS team designed and fabricated an altitude simulation system. The key to this system is the seamless interoperation of the DAHU, altitude valve, and liquid ring vacuum pump required to maintain test parameters.
Project Features: High Altitude Test Cell, Altitude Simulation System, Altitude Valve, Low-Temperature Water Skid, Exhaust Spray Cooling System
Project Categories: Alternative Fuels, Automotive and Commercial Vehicles, Controls and Software, Test Cells and Test Stands
Barber-Nichols partnered with ACS to design and fabricate a pump test stand for high-flow aerospace thermal management systems.
