Pressure Test Stands
for EV Components
The Automotive industry and with that testing is going through a transition. High-pressure components such as diesel injection lines, common rails, pump heads, and other combustion engine components exposed to high pressure are less frequented due to the shift to electronic vehicles. EVs require other sets of components to be tested at lower pressures, such as ECUs, cooling systems, and plastic components.
Pipe and Hose Test Bench
Hoses, pipes and pipe connections must reliably withstand operational pressures and predefined pressures during testing. To prove the component and material quality, they are exposed to pressure, sometimes to the point of failure or bursting.
Burst and Pressure Cycle Test Stand
A state-of-the-art dual chamber test rig for simultaneous burst and pressure pulsation testing. The rig enables testing flexibility in your lab. A media heating and cooling unit can be installed to cover an even wider range of test requirements.
Double Chamber Test Rig for Burst and Pressure Cycle Tests
The double-chamber test bench, in which up to ten DUTs (devices under test) can be tested simultaneously at an ambient temperature of -60°C to 180°C, offers a flexible system for your laboratory. It is equipped with 3x media circuits to enable testing with oil, water and water glycol emulsion. The rig enables long-term impulse and burst testing up to 800 bar.
Standard Pressure Cycle Test Rig 500 / 1000 / 2000 bar
The standard pressure cycle test bench serves as the basis for many of our systems and can be upgraded with a wide variety of configurations.
Pressure Pulsation Test Rig up to 600 bar
The pressure cycle test bench is a powerful and versatile pressure test bench that exposes various pressure vessels such as cooling circuits, sensors, hoses and many others to pressure load changes whole altering ambient and liquid temperatures. In addition, a controlled media flow can be generated up to 60 l/min.
Burst Test Stand up to 200 bar
In order to prove the quality of media-carrying components, hose lines, pipes, pressure vessels and many other components are pressurized until they burst. The rig can be equipped with a simple pump solution or a high-tech hydraulic intensifier.
Battery Simulation under the Influence of Temperature
A temperature-controlled volume flow (e.g. 50 l/min) can be generated with the Poppe + Potthoff test stands for functional testing of media-carrying components. In addition, components such as air conditioning units, ECU or cooling circuits can be energized if required to simulate operability while simulating the effect on a battery.
Pressure Cycle and Burst Pressure Test Bench
A state-of-the-art, powerful and flexible pressure test bench with up to 6x pressure intensifiers up to 500 bar and 1x pressure intensifier up to 2000 bar for pressure pulsation testing, as well as 2x climate chambers. Additional burst testing options are available up to 4000 bar. Our most powerful rig to date.
Pressure Cycle Test Bench with Over- and Under Pressure
Expose cooling systems of ECUs, PTC heaters, high-voltage coolant heaters, AC/DC, DC/DC converters, cooling circuits and other media-carrying components to pulsating pressures, as well as a vacuum test. In addition, the rig enables ambient and fluid temperature heating and cooling at temperatures from -40 °C to 160 °C. A typical test fluid is a water-glycol emulsion.
Thermal Management
And Cooling Circuits
Cooling and heating systems are essential for electromobility: They protect electronic components from overheating and ensure interior comfort. In order to validate them for use, components are put to the test under changing pressure and temperature conditions. The performance and power consumption of the systems must also be checked in realistic service life tests so that the electronic component does not limit the range of the vehicle.
Mobility requires reliable thermal management so that people and machines – whether electric or combustion engines – can adapt to varying environmental conditions on land, on water and in the air. At the same time, air conditioning systems and all their components have to withstand high load changes over the long term. Instead of testing the resilience with specially developed test setups or in real operation, manufacturers can now put their components to the test with the help of pressure cycle and function test benches from Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau. Even at an early stage of development and during series production, the repeatable and precise tests enable products to be optimized flexibly and economically.
