Dynamometer Facility
Czero helps advance turbocharger technology—and the Fort Collins
smart grid
VanDyne SuperTurbo is developing a new turbocharger technology that will improve standard gasoline engine performance by 20-30%. VanDyne contracted Czero to design a 900 KW, two-engine test facility for durability testing of these new turbochargers.
Designing customized systems for engine performance measurement
Czero oversaw design of these and other aspects of the VanDyne test facility:
- Synchronous machine specifications
- Dynamometer and engine mounting
- Fuel system
- Cooling system
- Driveshaft
- Room sensors
- Engine, dynamometer, and test facility controls
Leaping ahead: from idea to reality
Czero engineers accelerated VanDyne’s product development by expediting design of a state-of-the-art test facility, a mission-critical necessity for this fast-moving fuel-efficiency innovator.
Czero’s ability to work with our engineers in developing innovative, ground-breaking technology has been a great benefit to the SuperTurbo development. We have placed a lot of trust in Czero’s ability to deliver and have not been disappointed. They are a top-shelf organization.
