Test Equipment

REGULATEURS EUROPA provides electrically driven governor test stands for permanent installation. The purpose of the rig is to assist in adjusting, servicing and testing the performance of hydraulic speed governors and hydraulic actuators. Our test stands have been designed to simulate diesel engine operating conditions; the governor and test stand forming a closed loop system. For the setting–up and testing of hydraulic actuators the test stand can also operate in open loop mode. In that instance the drive speed is set at, and controlled from, the stand itself.
The basis of the test stand is a sophisticated PLC. The PLC controls a frequency converter which in turn drives a 5.5 kW electric motor. The governor or actuator is direct driven by the electric motor. When in closed loop mode, the test stand simulates a diesel engine. This means that the “load” on the engine is simulated by the test stand. If the set speed of the governor is altered the governor output will change momentary to increase or decrease the amount of “fuel” applied. This will cause the drive speed to change accordingly. Also if the simulated load on the test stand is changed the output position of the governor will change to maintain the set speed.
