APU Test Benches
Advanced testing solutions for auxiliary power units, designed and manufactured by our expert teams.
APU Testing Expertise
At Equip'Aero, we design and manufacture specific test benches for Auxiliary Power Units (APU) that simulate real operating conditions. Our test benches are used for both maintenance and repair as well as development and certification of new equipment.
Our expertise in this field allows us to offer custom solutions adapted to our clients' specific needs, guaranteeing optimal reliability and precision in APU performance evaluation.
Technical Characteristics
Bleed Air Circuit
Precise simulation of bleed air circuit operating conditions, with pressure and temperature control.
Mechanical Load
Application of variable mechanical loads to simulate real stresses experienced by APUs during operation.
Performance Analysis
Real-time measurement and recording of performance parameters for comprehensive evaluation.
Dynamic Testing
Dynamic testing machine cycles and air starter - Ability to perform dynamic tests to evaluate APU response to load variations.
Thermal Control
Simulation of extreme environmental conditions, from -40°C to +100°C to test resistance and reliability.
Electrical Power Supply
Testing of APU electrical systems with simulation of variable electrical loads.
