One of the most advanced features of the EGGERS testing package resides within the system’s PowerControl software. Engine performance can be affected by the prevailing weather conditions. When the air temperature is colder, the engine performance will be higher. This is because air density is higher at lower temperatures. EGGERS innovative testing technology compensates for such fluctuations to ensure measurement consistency irrespective of the time of year that tests are undertaken.
The PowerControl software compensates for air temperature differentials by controlling the delivery of an engine’s rated performance at an air intake temperature of 20°C and an air pressure of 1013 mbar. If the same power unit is measured in colder conditions, say 5°C, the software back-calculates the performance to replicate the original testing parameters.
This makes it possible to compare two measurements from a single tractor or harvester, the first of which could be in summer and the second in winter. Moreover, adjustment allows the measurement to be compared with the manufacturer’s data, since these are always based on the standard values.
The software runs on all current Windows-based PCs, laptops and tablets, with free updates downloadable online. Data transfer from the test stand to the computer is via the RS 232 interface, USB or Bluetooth, which offers a very secure connection that, unlike radio transmission, does not impact on any other devices. PowerControl is also available as an App for Android tablets. All measurements are saved on hard disk and can thus be recalled and printed at any time.
