Dynamic and static test cells
Overall view of the cells. The two test cells are independent, sound-proofed and equipped with:
- air exchange system (2 vol/min);
- temperature, pressure and humidity monitoring;
- CO/ CO2 detector;
- fuel supply system: gasoline, diesel and hydrogen;
- external fuel tanks;
- remote control and acquisition systems.
