Aerospace Testing International in association with IPETRONIK, discussed how to maximize engine test cell efficiency with cutting-edge data acquisition solutions during the webinar.
New jet engines are crucial for fuel efficiency and sustainability, but the development and production of jet engines require significant amounts of testing.
Engine test cells are highly expensive assets, and we must use them as efficiently as possible. Learn how, by maximising test cell utilisation with the use of pylon-mounted data acquisition units and thus, minimising time for wiring engines inside the test cell.
Furthermore, initial integration effort of new measurement equipment can be significantly reduced, by using standard data acquisition protocols like iDDS. While looking at flight testing of engines, the numbers of wires penetrating the pressurized hull, can be largely reduced by mounting the DAQ to the engine.
IPETRONIK’s highly precise measurement technology, rugged DAQ and recorders are used for engine test cells, flight tests and test of new propulsion system under extreme climate conditions. Well known are its highly precise thermocouple scanners with up to 96 channels
