The Gneuss Online Viscometer
2009-01-26: Dr. Axel Hannemann, Gneuß Kunststofftechnik GmbH |
Intake manifolds with integrated charge air coolers increase engine responsiveness, because air volume is reduced by over 40 percent. Further the integration cuts over 20 percent parts, weight and costs. Failure probability is shrinking also. Tightness, even air distribution, temperature and bursting...
Röchling Automotive supplies from its South Tirol plant fuel cell cars all over the world with expansion containers. Here the separation of gases and fluids as well as the management of bursting pressure require new measurements. Other specification criteria are met with state of the art container construction....
