Turbocharger Testing

  

Turbocharger Testing
Scheduling Turbocharger Tests at the NGML:
To schedule a turbocharger test at the NGML, refer to the testing calendar to identify open dates that fit your schedule.  Please contact Kirby Chapman to verify open testing dates and fax a PO to his attention at (785) 532-3744.  Testing reservations are scheduled in the calendar upon receipt of PO.  Testing dates are held for 3 days prior to receipt 
of PO, thereafter the dates will be released for other turbocharger tests.  This calendar is updated nightly to reflect daily changes of the testing schedule.

One week before testing, the NGML must receive a written test plan.  This helps us better prepare for the test and ensures that your test will proceed with minimal difficulty.

Things to remember when scheduling a test are: 

  • Transition requirements: (outline drawing required). These generally take 2 weeks for engineering and 4 - 6 weeks for fabrication. Check our Transition Inventory to see if we can already test your unit. 
  • Scheduling multiple tests with different models: Please contact Kirby Chapman for required down times for change out of transitions for multiple model testing. 
  • New models not previously tested at NGML will require a minimum of 2 days of transition fit-up time.  During this time, we may need to weld near the turbocharger.  The customer should advise if they wish to supply empty cases for this procedure or that we may weld with the complete turbocharger on the stand.
  • Performance tests generally take 2 1/2 days. Usually the installation and testing require one day each, while the removal takes a half a day. Preliminary data is available at conclusion of test.  Mechanical run tests generally take an average of 1 day for installation, testing, and removal with results available the following day.
