Hello members
Thought i would pop up a couple of different things as some clients like chatting regarding the test cell we have.
Myself with pretty much 98% of the work being completed by a friend of mine we set about a few years back to create our dyno cell.
At the time we had been a little limited on space which has disadvantages but also advantages, disadvantages are always in the form of space to move around a vehicle which you get used to quickly
Advantages is air exchange can happen a lot quicker and more efficiently which is great for not only cooling capabilities but also safety as far a fumes go.
Will in the near future have a redesign of the extraction system which will further improve air exchange rate.
The cell is designed so you reverse the vehicle in and actually suck all the air out the back of the building, we use intake feeds in the door and front ceiling to bring the fresh air in and then use fans directed at components to get the heat off the vehicle and then let the cell remove the heat and gas. This also stops any recycling of the air back to the intakes.
Recently due to the amount of high performance mid and rear engines vehicles we tune and upgrade i found that on occasions some cooling was lacking and would have to have short periods of time letting systems come back in check from a temperature stand point.
McLarens, Lamborghini, Audi R8 platforms and 911 Turbo and GT3-RS versions all have side feeding intakes, charge coolers and rads in the side pods or even feeds at the back like 911 Turbo S 992 Generations.
So i approach a few companies around the globe looking for options which we did find but came at large cost and wouldn't quite fit with our slightly smaller cell setup. I then took this upon myself to source parts and materials and make my own solutions which would suit what we needed.
So we have made two different sets of side centrifugal fans with 125mm outlets with optional reducers to 110mm for smaller opens, this also has a benefit of increasing velocity and pressure of those fans if required. Also we upgraded to high output side blowers on arms which we can position over the back or to the side of the vehicles for fresh air flow directed.
A couple of the side intake fans will go from about 10cm to 45cm off the ground, another couple i made to go from 20cm to 75cm so we have a full range of heights available to us. Coupled with the side blowers on movable arms gives us complete freedom for side air or radiators in strange positions.
Below are some images in action so you can see how we have used them, so far the results on the likes of the McLaren, Lamborghini and 911 GT3 platform have worked flawlessly which is great for us to find.
For any enquires please feel free to pop an email over to info@gadtuning.co.uk or call direct on 05603 67 21 09
