MAE’s Chassis Dynamometers
reproduce road conditions under the most demanding environmental conditions.
Climatic Environmental Chambers, Altitude Chambers and Wind Tunnels reproduce extreme environmental conditions to a test vehicle as well as the equipment in the test cell. MAE has designed our world class Chassis Dyanmometers and support equipment to exceed the perform requirements under these demanding conditions while having the durability to last for the test cells life cycle.
MAE provides several standard Extreme Environmental Condition (EEC) Chassis Dynamometer products for these testing environments. The selection of the Chassis Dynamometer will be dependent on the test cell capacity and test vehicle size as well as vehicle performance requirement of the Chassis Dynamometer. Mustangs EEC Chassis Dynamometers are designed to operate in test cells with temperature ranges -40°C to 60°C and altitude ranges from sea level up to 3,300 ft (1,000 m) with performance derating up to 10,000ft (3,000m) please note normally the motor and motor drive are not in the altitude chamber enviroment. Should higher altitude be required liquid cooled motors and motor drives can be used to reduce derating. When snow and water run off is present in the testing environment the EEC Chassis Dynamometers can optionally be ordered with suitable mitigation and management system. If your testing requirements are outside of our standard EEC environmental ranges please contact MAE with your specific requirements for a quick quote.
