The Turbo Technics Vane-flow Test Rig (VTR)
has been developed due to an ever-growing demand from within the
turbocharger repair and remanufacturing industry.
The advent of variable geometry turbochargers within the automotive
market has had a major impact on vehicle performance and driveability.
However, up until the launch of the VTR, the only effective means of
rectifying a turbocharger fault, irrespective of how minor, was to
replace the turbocharger for a new unit, usually at great expense.
The VTR provides the only means away from the production line by which
the gas-flow through the turbine mechanism can be measured and adjusted
to reflect the factory settings.
Consequently, through the effective use of the VTR customers may not
need to buy a complete replacement turbocharger, when a clean of the
turbine mechanism or a change of bearings may be all that is needed to
get them back on the road. Remanufacturers and repairers of
turbochargers can now have the confidence to strip turbos with variable
geometry turbine mechanisms in the knowledge that they can not only
rebuild them, but also reset the turbine mechanisms to the factory
settings.
The VTR is compatible with both pressure and vacuum actuators but will
also be upgradeable in the future to test electronic actuators.
A comprehensive database is included with the VTR which includes the
recommended flow rates, by turbocharger part number, where the factory
settings have previously been measured. This database will expand as new
turbochargers are released into the market and can either be added to
locally as settings become known or the database updated from Turbo
Technics’ master record.
The VTR also provides a means by which conventional wastegates can be
accurately checked and calibrated, especially in the case of
high-performance or competition turbochargers.
Please
contact Turbo Technics or one of its
authorised distributors for further details on the VTR.
