Abstract
An engine laboratory is described where rationalization and automation is developed to a high level. Function test beds are arranged mainly for accurate measurements and flexible conditions. Endurance test beds feature programmed cycling, automatic data recording and test supervision. All test beds include extensive arrangements for automatic handling of emergency situations with maximum safety for equipment and personnel. Endurance test beds simulate road conditions to a high degree and show considerable savings in test time and running cost compared to vehicle testing of engines. Statistics from equipment reliability are presented.
