IQT Research

The IQT Research upgrades include hardware and software additions to LM or TALM models that allow for advanced testing customization in a research and development environment. Accommodations such as long ignition delays, unusual test conditions, and flexible test design are provided with the Research upgrades. In addition, the upgraded software allows for easy variation of key combustion parameters (temperatures and pressures), with full associated data capture of the combustion event and trace.

Key Components

• A variable displacement pump (VDP): Allows for rapid, repeatable and easy adjustment of the Mass of Fuel Injected, to control the Fuel-Air Equivalence Ratio of the various test fuels
• Injection pressure sensor and high-pressure injection line, with faster A-D board: Provides the ability to capture the high pressure, injection pressure waveform as it relates to injector needle lift, and permits a more in-depth analysis of the effects of various fuel compositions on the combustion process. The benefits of being able to monitor dynamic injection pressure precisely is an important aspect of fuels, combustion initiation and combustion research.
