VTR Reduces Cost of Remanufacturing Turbochargers

September 30th, 2008

The Turbo Technics Vane-Flow Test Rig (VTR) is the first commercially available aftermarket turbocharger variable geometry calibration system. It will allow the industry for the first time to calibrate actuation systems and as a result, offer remanufactured variable geometry turbochargers to the end user at significantly lower costs than a brand new item.

The VTR allows the remanufacturer to set two crucial parameters on variable geometry systems; the minimum opening of the vanes and the operating range of the vane movement. The turbocharger under test is mounted to the VTR and the on-board computer system controls the airflow and measurement through the turbine housing and compares this against the data stored for that turbocharger model.
