Benches - Import export

The EP endurance test benches are used to test various components over a defined cycle for durability, e.g. temperature and pressure cycle tests. A high series quality requires precision and reliability. Operational and endurance tests are necessary in order to be able to demonstrably guarantee high quality. In the form of selection or random sampling tests, components are tested for fatigue and wear by means of load tests, for example under pressure and temperature changes. The tests are used for endurance stress testing of various materials and products with different pressure curves and temperatures. We build test benches according to your requirements: e.g. for long-term or short-term tests, under static or pulsating test conditions and depending on other factors. Present us your requirements!

In order to guarantee that components such as valves, pumps, hoses and other components or component groups are free from leakage, leakage measurements are carried out. We offer leakage test benches for different pressure ranges in both the low and high pressure range.

We offer you standardised complete systems for the measurement of volume & mass flows. We use measuring elements that have established themselves within previously built customer-specific test benches and convince with high measuring accuracy. We develop and manufacture Venturi tubes and nozzles as individual components or as VMF® complete systems. The VenturiMasterFlow® measuring system, VMF® for short, is used for the precise measurement of air or gas volume and mass flows of 100,000 m³/h. The core of the VMF® system is the FlowProcessor, a PC system with the corresponding data acquisition hardware. Venturi nozzles convince by a low remaining pressure loss and are suitable for flow measurement of gases with high temperatures. The software developed under LabVIEW is operated either via touch screen or with mouse and keyboard.

Based on years of experience in the field of test bench metrology in the automotive industry, EP develops test bench solutions for various applications. We build test benches for testing automotive components such as heat exchangers, intercoolers, filters, valves and others. These are test benches on which e.g. supplier parts for the automotive industry are tested in production. Our specialist knowledge of the industry makes us a strong partner in this area.

Apparatus for pressurizing test pieces We offer burst test benches to test load-bearing elements under pressure for their resilience. The components to be tested are put under pressure until they burst. Depending on the requirements (e.g. depending on the medium, pressure range, static or pulsating tests) we build your customized test stand.

With our HPT heat pump test bench you can simulate humidity as well as temperature. The test stand is used for functional testing of air-to-water heat pumps according to DIN EN 14511. Current test systems on the market, which are used to test e.g. air-to-water heat pumps, are climatic chambers with a cooling, heating and humidification unit fixed to the roof. The disadvantage of this concept is that it is not possible to set a homogeneous temperature and humidity distribution in the cube-shaped room. Based on test engineering concepts in the automotive industry, EP-E developed a concept in which the air flows in a closed loop (loop design). The HPT heat pump test stand is a closed-loop test stand for functional testing of air-to-water heat pumps according to DIN EN 14511. The advantageous closed-loop design uses an insulated chamber with conditioning units for temperature and humidity outside the chamber.
