A first-class partner must be able to test at the highest level

Test Benches

For each model series and number of cylinders, a test bench equipped with high-quality, state-of-the-art measurement technology is available, on which gas and diesel engines can be operated using both natural gas from the municipal grid and various liquid fuels. Testing on the test bench enables optimal tuning of gas and diesel engines for different gas and fuel qualities. This eliminates the need for time-consuming adjustment processes on the customer’s end.
Additionally, non-engine tests of mechanical components and flow studies are conducted on test benches specifically designed for this purpose. The benefit for the customer lies in reduced development time, the ability to quickly swap out test components, and thus cost and time savings during modifications.
WTZ Roßlau designs and builds test bench setups, including the testing and adaptation of components and assemblies.

The WTZ Roßlau develops and operates test benches:

  • for combustion engines in the power range from 250 to 7350 kW
  • for single-cylinder research engines with forced induction up to 10 bar
  • for testing and measuring injection systems with measurement of engine parameters, emissions, combustion processes and creation of evaluations

Our engine test benches are equipped with modern dynamometers and measurement technology.

In addition:

  • Data acquisition and evaluation systems
  • Indexing technology for crankshaft-related signals
  • Volume flow meters
  • Measuring systems for exhaust emissions
