TURBO ARMEC Test Benches: Precision, Innovation and Total Control on Turbochargers
DUO FLOW combines two of the most important stages in turbocharger remanufacturing into a single platform: high-speed core assembly balancing and performance validation through dynamic flow testing.
The system not only corrects dynamic imbalances in the rotating assembly but also verifies the turbocharger's actual behavior during operation by simulating conditions extremely close to those encountered on the vehicle.
Balancing and Validation in a Single Process
After the high-speed balancing phase, the turbocharger can be directly subjected to dynamic flow testing without being transferred to other workstations.
This integration makes it possible to:
- reduce processing times
- eliminate additional setup operations
- increase productivity
- improve result repeatability
High-Speed Performance
DUO FLOW can operate at speeds of up to 250,000 RPM, allowing verification of the core assembly's dynamic behavior under conditions very close to real operating environments.
The analysis is performed using highly sensitive sensors that detect:
- vibrations
- dynamic imbalance
- rotational speed (RPM)
The acquired data makes it possible to correct any anomalies that could affect the turbocharger's reliability, noise levels, and service life.
Parameters Analyzed
Thanks to the integration of balancing and dynamic flow testing, the system can simultaneously monitor several operating parameters.
Turbine Side
- Inlet airflow rate
- Open geometry position
- Intermediate position
- Closed geometry position
Compressor Side
- Outlet airflow rate
- Rotating assembly efficiency
Dynamic Parameters
- Rotational speed (RPM)
- Vibration values
- Automatic comparison with reference database values
All of this information provides a complete overview of the turbocharger's behavior.
Operational Advantages
The combination of balancing and dynamic flow testing provides a more comprehensive verification process than traditional systems.
More Precise Control
The simultaneous acquisition of mechanical and fluid-dynamic data makes it possible to:
- objectively verify performance
- compare results with target values
- identify anomalies with greater accuracy
- validate correct turbocharger operation
Ideal for Remanufactured Turbochargers
For remanufactured turbochargers, DUO FLOW makes it possible to:
- verify the quality of the remanufacturing process
- validate components with previous service life
- reduce the risk of post-sale disputes and claims
- reduce dependence on operator experience
Summary
DUO FLOW is a complete solution for turbocharger verification, combining high-speed balancing and dynamic flow testing in a single process.
The result is more accurate performance validation that ensures:
- greater precision
- greater reliability
- reduced operating times
- higher final quality
Kit Performance
For advanced applications, the Performance Kit is available, an upgrade that extends the functionality of dynamic benches and Stage 2.
Performance Mode
The kit enables a dedicated test mode for modified or hybrid turbines, introducing new operating conditions:
- turbo rotation at higher speeds
- simulation of high-performance conditions
Advanced Parameters
In addition to standard data, performance mode allows you to measure:
- compressor-side pressure (mbar), instead of just flow rate
- turbo behavior under more extreme load conditions
Response Time Test
The kit also includes a specific test to evaluate turbo response time:
- measured in milliseconds
- indicates how quickly the turbo reaches maximum speed
This parameter is fundamental to verify the effectiveness of modifications on high-performance turbines.
Overall Advantages
The integration of these solutions allows you to obtain:
- greater operational speed
- more realistic and accurate tests
- complete control even on complex systems
