Tenneco's Adds Hydrogen to Fuels Engine Testing Capabilities

Tenneco has established new test facilities for hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines at its Powertrain test centers in Burscheid, Germany, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. These two test cells specifically dedicated to hydrogen ICEs enhance the company's globally integrated ICE test capabilities, supporting original equipment engine and vehicle manufacturers as they decarbonize the ICE. By adding H2-engine testing, Tenneco is well-positioned to provide technology solutions that can help to accelerate the reduction of carbon emissions of future combustion engine generations to achieve global climate goals faster. As a leading supplier of engine components, including pistons, piston rings, bearings, seals and gaskets, valves, valve seats and guides, and ignition devices, enneco leverages its comprehensive ICE expertise in various hydrogen and alternative-fuel project partnerships with engine and vehicle manufacturers. Tenneco's new test cells support manufacturers in their H2 ICE concepts, testing prototype engines and components for durability, wear, emissions, fuel-efficiency and performance.Tenneco's new H2 ICE test facilities provide a broad bandwidth of high-accuracy engine measurement capabilities, including:Light and heavy-duty engine testing up to 700kWEddy current and AC dynoECU connectivity, calibration and tuning:Dynamic engine operation; driving cycles / engine in the loopH2 supply up to 50bar and 90kg/hH2 concentration measurement (exhaust and blow-by path)Combustion AnalysisEmissions testing for HC, CO, CO2, NOX, FSNGaseous emissionsParticulate number (PN) count / PN size distribution; Particulate Matter (PM)Radioactive tracer for oil emissionsIn-line oil consumption and oil emission analysisAutomated fuel map testingIgnition parameter evaluationThermal shock testingPrecise overall real-time engine monitoringMore related images can be downloaded here.
