Turbocharger testing lab
Imperial is a world leader in advanced and future turbocharger technologies and that expertise is now easily accessible through the turbine testing facilities.
Using a state-of-the-art eddy dynamometer designed and developed at Imperial, the facility has a much wider test range than if the loading device was a traditional compressor.
The Imperial facilities offer a lot more than just testing equipment. The team are available for consultancy through all stages of the process, from the design of novel turbo machinery components to expert analysis of the results.
Imperial’s position at the cutting edge of new technology research is reflected in the expertise available to users of the turbine testing facility. Advanced and novel technologies for energy efficient engines being developed at Imperial include active flow control and electric turbo-assisted technologies. The team also have expertise in electrification and downsizing of turbochargers, increasing the engine efficiency to reduce the size.
