Application: New dynamometer test lab facility to prove newly developed electronic fuel injection engines for automobile.
Where In Process?: Controlling the flow of gasoline to simulate the automotive fuel pump on different size engines. Kates flow rate controller is used in over 100 test cells throughout the automotive industry.
Why Flow Rate is Critical?: A constant flow rate is needed to monitor a constant engine speed for accurate testing. Varying the flow of gasoline to the engine under controlled conditions over varying time frames simulates real life conditions at different idling or running speeds.
What Alternatives Were Considered: Pressure regulator and mulitcomponent flow loops.
Main Reasons for Choosing Kates: Accuracy, rangeability, low cost and minimal upkeep.
