Project Value: $1,556,000
Project Overview:
GE Transportation needed to modernize the
existing turbocharger test stand in their diesel
engine test lab Building 18, Cell A to allow for
steady state testing of both single-stage and
dual-stage turbochargers for Tier IV emissions-
compliant locomotive engines.
ACS designed and supplied a new controls & data
acquisition system, updated instrumentation
and controls, water and oil supply conditioning
units, and an inter-stage cooler between the
low and high-pressure stage compressors. The
turbocharger test cell will be capable of testing
single-stage and dual-stage turbocharger
arrangements as well as the Tier 4 dual-stage
turbochargers for all engine families (Inline 6,
Inline 8, V12, and V16.) ACS provided complete
installation and commissioning of the test cell
equipment.
ACS Services:
ACS held a single-source contract for test facility design and
construction management; equipment design and component
specification, equipment build, procurement, and contractor
installation; integration of equipment, facility, and control
systems; and commissioning.
Project Duration: 13 months
Completion Date: September, 2013
Key Performance Features:
• GE RX3i with Proficy software test cell control and safety
PLC system
• Supply, install and commission data acquisition system
• Combustor air supply system capable of up to 0.2 lb/sec
• Compressed air turbocharger starting system
• Combustor diesel fuel supply system that injects up to
3.75 gpm at 600psi maximum and achieves a turbine
speed up to 50,000 rpm
• Turbocharger water conditioning system to maintain
120F-200F cooling water
• Inter-stage air-to-water cooling system which cools from
425F to 110F compressor air
• Lube oil conditioning system to preheat and maintain
140F-215F oil temperature
