Calorimetric Chargecooler Testing
Young Calibration’s Chargecooler Calorimetric Test
Facility offers thermal performance characterisation for
automotive, marine and industrial heat exchangers worldwide.
Although the facility is predominantly aimed at the passenger
car market, the wind tunnel and plant can cover charge and
intercoolers from small industrial engines to medium-size
truck installations and standby compressors.

The facility is one of a few truly independent laboratories offering calorimetric
services for OEMs, R&D establishments,
motorsport and passenger car manufacturers.
The charge cooler facility for air to air
and air to water coolers can be adapted to suit varying sizes
and design
complexity for a host of industries. A continuing upgrade programme
ensures the facility remains one of Europe’s leading calorimetric testing establishments.
Chargecooler Testing Facilities
Extensive capabilities exist within the laboratory to cover brick and full-face
intercoolers and charge coolers.
Charge Air Side Specification
• Flow 0.02 – 0.46kg/s
• Pressure 1.5 – 3.1 barA
• Temperature 100 – 200°C
|
Cooling Air Side Specification
• Size 900 x 800 mm
• Flow 30 – 4000 l/s
• Face Velocity 1 – 15 m/s
• Pressure 10 – 1800 Pa
• Temperature 20 – 35 ±1°C |

Test reports present all the data in
tabular and graphical formats, covering air-side pressure
drop, charge side pressure drop, heat rejection performance,
heat dissipation and thermal efficiency.
Calorimetric testing is an important process in the successful development of high efficiency chargecoolers and enables manufacturers to optimise the trade off between airside pressure drop and charge pressure drop.
Young Calibration can even provide thermal imaging tests which provide valuable
information that is impossible to achieve using standard chargecooler
testing methods. This information can be vital when looking
to extract the best possible performance from an engine.
