Delphi Offers Test Services

June 17th, 2009

The Delphi Customer Technology Centre Luxembourg (CTCL), specialises in noise and vibration, exhaust emissions, engine durability, electromagnetic compatibility, and electronic systems test and development. With more than 500 engineers and technicians in Luxembourg, Delphi employs state of the art systems to support a wide range of testing and development programs for automotive and non-automotive companies.

The CTC Luxembourg (CTCL) is one of three major European technical centres operated by Delphi, one of the world’s largest suppliers of automotive technologies. The facility is well prepared to host external teams offering conference areas and media connection to discuss and analyse technical test results on-site with high levels of confidentiality guaranteed.
At the heart of the 27,000 square-meter facility are two climatic wind tunnels, one with altitude simulation combined with exhaust emissions measurement for diesel or gasoline vehicles including 4WD. The second wind tunnel is optimised for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems development. Both provide high-resolution temperature and humidity control and representative front-end vehicle aerodynamics.

CTCL’s noise and vibration capability includes a whole-vehicle semi-anechoic chamber. Designed to help engineers develop quieter automotive systems, the facility is already making an equally valuable contribution to improving the refinement of a wide range of other systems and sub-systems. Exhaust Emissions test facilities include the capability to test to the latest European, US and Californian requirements.
