Cell
#1 – Valvetrain Fixture Test Cell
Cell 1 is a valve train analysis cell utilizing laser valve train motion measurement.
The current accepted standard in the industry has been our standard for years.
Labview provides for versatile data acquisition that can be tailored to any application.
This cell is also equipped with durability programming to validate the extensive
distances used in most professional race series. |

Dynamometer
Test Cells
Cells 2, 3 and 4 are all state of the art engine dynamometers using the best available
water break absorption units, control and data acquisition systems. Combined,
they offer a large spectrum of RPM and data gathering capability, broad enough
to handle any job. All offer temperature controlled air make-up, exhaust
rooms and pre-programmed throttle control.

Airflow
Bench
Katech customized flowbench is a staple of any development program in maximizing
airflow and optimizing engine characteristics. Its various uses include development
of cylinder head airflow, inlet and exhaust system airflow studies, and characterization
of air-flow sensors. This bench is an orifice meter type and has maximum volumetric
flow rate of 600cfm @ 28”H2O. We offer our customers a wide range of cylinder
head and bore fixtures to measure a variety of cylinder head types.

Oil
and Water Test Carts
Stand-alone test carts are able to operate oil and cooling loop systems independently
for complete control in test conditions and parasitic loss investigations. These
carts are mobile and can operate in specialized tests or in conjunction with engine
dynamometer testing.
