Flow Test Bench for
Semi-automatic
Flow Test Benches (Momentum)
Modern combustion engines must meet continuously increasing demands for efficiency and exhaust gas quality. All air-conducting components, in particular the intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder head, determine the in-cylinder flow and thus have a decisive influence on the combustion characteristic. When evaluating these influences an accurate, reproducible measurement of qualitative and quantitative flow characteristics is essential.
The method to determine Tippelmann Swirl and Tumble numbers is based on the integral detection of the momentum components embedded in the cylinder flow. It has been developed and patented by AVL Tippelmann and is now established at all major engine manufacturers.
AVL Tippelmann flow test benches are suitable for a wide range from motorcycle, car and truck up to big engines.
Field of application
- Cars, motorcycles and light duty engines
- High volume sample testing
- Out-of-line quality check
- Intake and exhaust port check
- Integral analysis of flow field for Swirl
Added value
- Short cycle time (4 min)
- Automatic assembly and disassembly of inlet and exhaust valves on cylinder head (CH)…
- A variety of CH from one engine family can be measured
- Robust and reliable setup for industrial use
- Low manpower required
- High operation error safety
- Integration in customized quality control systems like Q-DAS available
- 100 % comparability to R&D measurement equipment
