Advanced Design Based on Computer Simulation
Achates Power uses advanced computer-based design and analysis tools to fully characterize the unique nature of the Achates Power Opposed-Piston Engine and to allow rapid optimization during the development process.
Hands-On Testing Lab
The Achates Power fuel lab rivals those of leading OEM fuel injector manufacturers and includes laser Doppler anemometry and laser-induced fluorescence to characterize fuel spray, and a cutting-edge fuel bench for mapping fuel injectors.
The company’s facility has three dynamometers with complete instrumentation to record all necessary engine parameters and test cell conditions. Over 6 GB of data can be taken from each engine run, including that generated by 150 thermal sensor sites, some of which are located inside the pistons and transmitted wirelessly for recording.
