DESCRIPTION

The engine engineering department has a comprehensive human resources team trained for the development of the activities at Applus IDIADA as main facilities, utilizing the 4 engine test cells with automated systems with DOE and emissions analyzers (2 engine test cells equipped for light-duty engines and 2 engine test cells for heavy-duty and off-road) as well as working on client’s facilities.

The main activities performed, valid for spark ignition, diesel and dual engines, naturally aspirated and turbocharged, are described below:

Engine performances calibration

  •  Base maps
  •  Optimization of full load maps
  •  Partial load, low and high idle maps
  •  Stationary and transient optimization
  •  Wastegated and VGT turbochargers
  •  Open and closed lambda control
  •  Main injection, advance, phasing
  •  Use of advanced tools such as in-cylinder pressure
  •  Automatization of calibration with INCA and CAMEO 

Engine emissions calibration

  •  Calibration for CO, THC, CH4, NMHC, NOx , PM and smoke
  •  Optimization of NOx rates for DOC and DPF systems
  •  High and low pressure EGR calibration
  •  Optimization of catalyst light-off
