TURBO ARMEC Flow Bench FLOW D: Precision and Professional Calibration
The dynamic flow test represents an evolution over static flow testing, introducing a fundamental condition: the actual turbine rotation during the test.
This is possible thanks to an integrated lubrication system that:
- feeds the turbo with oil at approximately 5 bar pressure
- maintains the oil temperature around 50°C
The result is an extremely realistic simulation of operating conditions present on the vehicle.
Analyzed Parameters
In addition to data already detected in static flow testing, the dynamic system allows for a much more comprehensive analysis.
Parameters shared with static testing
Air flow rate entering the turbine (liters/minute)
Measurements taken in three conditions:
- open geometry
- intermediate position
- closed geometry
Additional parameters of the dynamic test
Thanks to turbine rotation, it is possible to acquire additional fundamental data:
- Rotation speed (RPM) detected by optical sensor measured at three operating points compared with target values in the database
- Air flow rate on compressor side measured in liters/minute represents the air flow actually sent to the intercooler
These data provide a complete view of turbo behavior, both on the turbine side and compressor side.
Operational Advantages
The main advantage of dynamic flow testing is the greater reliability of diagnostics.
More Precise Control
The combination of multiple parameters allows you to:
- objectively verify performance
- compare results with reference data
- identify any anomalies with greater accuracy
Ideal for Rebuilt Turbines
In the case of regenerated turbines, where not all components are replaced, dynamic flow testing offers a decisive advantage:
- allows validation of components with prior use
- provides objective feedback on their suitability
- reduces dependence on operator experience
In contrast, with static flow testing, some assessments remain partially linked to technical interpretation.
Summary
Dynamic flow testing allows you to move from theoretical verification to actual performance validation, ensuring:
- greater precision
- greater reliability
- greater control over the final result
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 elaborated 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
