Developing and testing the Global Race Engine
The development of a new engine utilises a wide range of TMG’s Cologne-based facilities. While calculation such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is most well-known for aero simulations, it is also used alongside Finite Element Analysis Method (FEM) to optimise engine efficiency and performance at the design stage. Details such as injector nozzle shape, spray pattern and fuel spray velocity as well as gas flows through the turbocharger are all simulated extensively before any physical production.
With highly accurate five-axis milling machines and CNC turning machines, creating a new engine from the design is also done in-house at TMG.
Once built, the extensive test facilities including a suite of engine dynamometers ensure calibration to the expected performance parameters including drivability, reliability, fuel consumption and efficiency, lubrication testing, heat and friction analysis as well as overall power and torque.
